dem NOODZ!

Right. Since Mr. Barnes claimed in our Fb group that my chile verde wasn’t saucy enough, and you seem to know the dish better than I do, I was hoping for your input here — in the context of another user making the same dish that also didn’t strike me as terribly saucy :woman_shrugging:

And @LindaWhit’s noodz were indeed the perfect choice for our group pic this week/month.

No sweat.

Côtes levées de bœuf à la Bourguignonne
Looks lovely were they bone in?

That was an add from my notes from last time I made this stir-fry. Someone here on HO (cant remember who!) said they had added some spaghetti and I had some leftover cooked spaghetti to add last time. Liked it with that addition! This time, I made a single serving to help stretch it into 3 meals.


Pepperoni & sausage pizza from my local joint with a side of marinated bean/tomato and cucumber salad.

Chicken And White Bean Chile Verde with all the fixings. The base is Anaheim and serrano chiles, tomatillos, white onion, and a head of garlic.

Yes, but they were so tender after 3 hours in the oven that the bone slipped out for plating and so it was served without the bone

I copied @LindaWhit and made my own take on ground chicken and cabbage lo mein with carrots, yellow onion, scallion, garlic, and ginger. Served up with Aldi egg pork rolls and leftover buttered broccolini tossed with sweet soy and black vinegar.

I recently asked for stuffed squash recommendations so tonight I made my first one. Since I’ve been getting a hankering for stuffed peppers, I made the filling and used it to stuff half a delicata squash. I topped it with some Rao’s marinara sauce and had some steamed broccoli on the side. It was very good! I cooked the entire squash and had half of it tonight and the other half is going in the freezer.

That looks delicious! What did you end up stuffing the squash with?

That looks great! Did you use any particular recipe or just wing it?

Ground beef, a little Spanish onion, garlic and pre-cooked rice. I usually add a little dried oregano too but discovered at dinner time I have none left. No dried basil either :frowning: Of course it occurred to me now I have dried parsley…

Thank you! It was a treat to be cooked for.
