What's for Dinner, Thurs., Aug. 14, 2025 [View all]

Made this recipe up myself: Cantaloupe Chicken Salad with Bibb Lettuce & Baby Spinach. Dressing is Hot Honey Citrus & Chile Vinaigrette. Toasted almonds over the top.

It was such a huge salad that I had to get out a special plate for it. The melon is at its prime: so juicy and flavorful.

Nut-thin crackers for crunch.

Cherry kombucha.

Dessert: TJ's French Vanilla ice cream. I'm adding peanuts and caramel.
