What's for Dinner, Tues., Aug. 5, 2025

Zucchini Noodle Salad with Tahini-Ginger Dressing.

I'll use my zoodler, and the recipe, from the Mostly Meatless cookbook I've been working from, recommends not cooking the zoodles--leaving them raw. Has lots of colorful vegetables: red and gold bell pepper, broccoli, carrot, scallions.

Slice of cold roasted chicken.

Dessert: Turkish cookies my friend gave me. Tea.

These cookies have a shortbread type exterior and are stuffed with some type of fig mixture. They have a pattern in the cookie. Quite a production, really. I am always happy he remembers to bring them back for me from his trips.

Entree
Soft shell crabs Francese sautéed in olive oil, white wine, capers and lemon.
Baked potato with butter.
Ice cold Pino Grigio and lemon ice water.

Dessert

Lavash bread slathered with homemade balsamic-walnut dressing. Then I piled on Tofurky ham slices, sliced tomato and red onion, sliced avocado, vegan “cheddar”, drizzle more dressing, add a big handful of spring mix before rolling it up tightly. Sitting in lawn chairs, watching the sun go down over Lake Erie as we enjoyed the wraps. Cheers!🌞
