What's for Dinner, Tues., Feb. 25, 2025

Cauliflower-potato cheese soup--loaded. It has bacon, chicken broth, garlic. Instead of potato, I'm using cassava root instead of potato, though. It doesn't give off a glycemic rush in the same way a potato does. Topped with turkey bacon and scallion greens.

Maybe a sandwich if this isn't enough. If I do make a sandwich, it will be pastrami.

Kombucha: pear ginger.

I’ve gotten good at preparing it all on the grill so that the salmon can crisp and caramelize a bit. If the outside crisps too fast I just let it bath in the piccata sauce to cook through - easy peasy. Asparagus also on the grill as a side dish with a little ground chili flakes for fun. My wife will make the rice pilaf on the stove. Wash it down with a nice Pinot Grigio.

From the compaies web site "Methi Matar Malai is a popular Indian dish which is made in north India especially during winters when fresh methi (fenugreek) is in season

This recipe combines methi, matar (green peas) and malai (cream) in a rich, sweet and seriously creamy curry"

It cooks like a box pasta, put the ingredients in a pan, add water, a bit of cream heat to boiling.
More hot garlic aan & cuke-yogurt dip and hot decafe tea.

We got a beautiful swordfish steak from our new favorite fish market in Liberty, NY fresh from NY’s Hunts Point market. Sautéed and seasoned in olive oil and white wine. Steamed asparagus with shaved Parmesan on top. Wild rice and Pinot Grigio. Apple slices for dessert.

9. Tomato Basil Soup and Grilled Cheese Sandwiches

My BIL gave me a few pounds of very ripe hothouse tomatoes. I chopped them and blended them in my Nutribullet, skins and all. Then I sautéed chopped red onion, minced shallots and garlic in evoo until tender. Added the blended tomatoes to the pot and let that cook until the tomatoes were reduced to a sauce structure then added some veggie broth and a bit of baking soda to reduce the bitterness from the skins, fresh chopped basil and parsley. At the last minute I added a bit of coconut cream to smooth it out. Also made grill cheese sandwiches with sprouted multigrain bread and Violife “cheddar” slices. Felt like I was back in public school eating my favorite cafeteria lunch. Man, that soup is good. Cheers! 🥂
