What's for Dinner, Mon., Dec. 16, 2024

[NJCher]

A dish from the Gujarati-speaking section of India. It has cashews, cauliflower, edamame, onion, and spices like garam masala, chili powder, cumin and chopped cilantro. Coconut milk will make it a soup-type dish.

Miniature naan bread on the side with melted butter to dip in it.

It's raining until 10 p.m. tonight, so this will be a good dinner for a rainy night in the low 40s.

Kombucha: raspberry ginger.

Dessert: Milk chocolate macadamia nut cookies.

2. Penne with Pistachio Pesto

Made a pesto of roasted pistachios, olive oil, fresh basil and parsley. Then I pan roasted chopped pistachios. Mixed the pesto with whole wheat penne then added a little oat milk and tossed with the roasted pistachios and s&p. Vegan Parmesan on top. First time I made this and it was delicious. Had oven roasted seasoned yellow squash spears as a side. Iced green tea with lemon. Cheers! 🥂

4. Good evening, everyone!

That sounds really yummy, Cher!

Tonight I'm trying something new. Though I found a recipe for it, I am making it up as I go.

Philly cheesesteak casserole!

I sliced a long loaf of Italian bread lengthwise and then in half into a baking pan, drizzled it with Colavita extra virgin olive oil.

Then added my cooked in my skillet minced steak slices evenly on top.

In a separate dish combined one brick of softened Philadelphia cream cheese and one half cup of mozzarella cheese heated slightly in the microwave and mixed together while warm.

Evenly cover the bread with the meat mixture, then add the cheese mixture.

The next layer is sliced onions and peppers that were sautéed in one of my cast iron skillets.

The last of the shredded cheese sprinkled over the top of the onions and peppers.

Then in the oven at 350° for 45" checking at thirty.

It's in there now. I hope it tastes as good as it smells.

Whole milk over ice and ice water as beverages.

And either lemon shortbread cookies or a triple chocolate muffin later.

Bon Appétit, everyone! 🍽
