Baked Potato and Broccoli, Monday, April 21, 2025
Comfort food extraordinaire is in the works tonight. These tender, flakey baked potatoes are adorned with the umami flavors of a creamy caramelized onion sauce with smoky tempeh pieces. Buttered/lemon broccoli and an avocado/citrus fruit salad finish the plate.
Carrot/Apple Soup with Spinach Salad: Sunday, April 20, 2025
Tonight we feature a sweet and savory carrot/apple soup with a swirl of sour cream or yogurt. It’s topped with toasted pine nuts.
Carrots and crisp Granny Smith apples are almost always available at your local grocery store. The same is true for fresh or packaged spinach. It’s a meal to make any time of the year.
Fancy Pants Burgers: Friday, April 18, 2025
Let’s get the jump on grilling season tonight. Beyond Meat patties are served open-face-style smothered with rich tasting browned mushroom sauce. I call them “Fancy Pants” Burgers because they aren’t your normal backyard burger! Each burger is finished with Gorgonzola (or blue cheese) crumbles and chopped tomato. A nice green salad and fresh fruit finish the meal.
Set a couple of frozen Beyond Meat Patties in the fridge to thaw this AM.
Baked Halibut with Hoisin Sauce and Arugula Nest, Thursday, April 17, 2025
Make some Hoisin Sauce tonight, unless you have some already made. To the delight of your diners, you’ll drizzle a piece of baked halibut with this lovely sauce. The halibut is then served over quinoa and the plate is completed with a generous portion of a tropical arugula salad with slivered mango and fennel.
Chicken Omelet: Wednesday, April 16, 2025
Omelets! They’re wonderfully quick to the table and so nutritious. This folded egg delicacy is often considered to be of French origin. However, many cultures (Persians, Japanese and Romans) have used eggs in a similar way over the centuries. Regardless of who claims credit for creating the omelet, I declare it delicious!
Cream of Asparagus Soup: Tuesday, April 15, 2025
While asparagus is still in season, try this version of asparagus soup. Here’s a creamy soup that’s easy to make. It’s finished with just a touch of nutmeg.
A nice green salad and a warm artisan roll finish the meal.
