What's for Dinner, Tues., Nov. 18, 2025

Right now I'm having an appetizer: Rainforest crisps, pumpkin spice flavor, with cream cheese.

Tossed green salad with fennel slices, apple, and toasted walnuts. Baby romaine and red leaf. Also pea shoots that I grew in the garden.

Chicken over pignoli nut couscous. Creamy garlic sauce over sliced chicken breast. Chopped herbs over the top: sage, thyme.

Kombucha: cherry-ginger.

Dessert will be carrot cake, which I still have to bake Cream cheese frosting.

Will try Pepper-Rubbed Chicken Thighs with Roasted Veggies & Lemon-Garlic Vinaigrette, and may add more pots, roasted discs.

Chicken thighs are brined, rubbed with a fragrant blend of black pepper, fennel, coriander, and rosemary, then slow-roasted until tender and juicy. They’re served next to roasted potatoes and sweet yellow onions—sliced, seasoned, and caramelized. Blanched broccoli florets bring a clean, green crunch to the plate, while a preserved lemon and garlic vinaigrette ties everything together with a sharp, sunny finish.

Awaiting end of Revolution, Almond Croissant Bread Pudding with Berry Coulis, dessert!

Flaky butter croissants are layered with house-made almond paste, then cut into cubes to soak up a creamy vanilla custard. The mixture is topped with sliced almonds, then baked until golden and set. It’s served with a side of berry coulis, made from simmered mixed berries, lemon juice, and vanilla, blended smooth and strained. The result is a rich, custardy dessert with a tart-sweet finish.

6. Buttermilk chicken

I got bone-in chicken breasts and soaked one overnight in the last of the buttermilk, coated in flour, fried and finished in the oven. I had some fresh pineapple with it. I'll have an avocado later.

Enjoy your evening!

I have plain penne, some squash/faux chorizo taco filler, and a hot dog.

Somehow, I think this might work?

Not as many as they were hoping for showed up, so a lot of it came back home. I might have to freeze some.

I make it with turkey burger and ground sausage, canned salsa, tomatoes, and peppers from summer's garden. Lots of onions, black beans, red beans, and a pinch of brown sugar and regular chili seasoning. It was a hit!

11. Asparagus with Penne and Tofu

Steam-fried in evoo and veggie broth: chopped onion, orange bell pepper, cut asparagus, sliced mushrooms and minced garlic. When done I added air-fried tofu cubes and a dollop of Miyoko’s butter and tossed everything with cooked whole wheat penne. Topped with fresh chopped parsley and vegan parm after plating. Cheers!🥂
