What's for Dinner, Wed., May 27, 2026

[NJCher]

Using my fresh garden broccoli, I'll make a naan bread pizza. Provolone and mozzarella. Sauteed garlic, too.

Zucchini, feta cheese, and mint salad with homemade vinaigrette.

1. Leftovers

Fried chicken drumsticks, mashed potatoes, gravy, and corn.

Strawberry short cake with cool whip later.

Good Evening

2. I came home, tired from work. Didn't want to turn on the stove or the oven

due to the heat.

I whipped together a Charcuterie of provolone cheese, French dried sausage, and sesame-seed baguette chunks to be dunked in 100% extra-virgin olive oil. Satisfying and I felt like I was in Provence.

I also mixed a small gin-and-tonic.

I'm sighing with satisfaction.

4. I just planted two

Better Boy tomatoes.

Two Muncher cucumbers.

and

a row of marigolds.

And I, too, am sighing with satisfaction.

Up yet tonight: transplanting about 30 coleus into small pots.

I have one entire 4 x 12' bed I'm devoting to coleus.

3. Baked Beans

Used my aunt’s recipe that was a favorite of mine when I was a kid. She’s still going strong at 85 and still makes her delicious baked beans for all family potlucks…upon request. Her recipe uses baby Lima beans instead of the usual navy beans. I also made oven roasted seasoned cauliflower slices and whole wheat couscous with scallions and mushrooms. Cheers!🥂
