No clue the difference. My son did chicken wings in his once. I did not think it was very good.

I love Trader Joe’s but I haven’t tried that, Glad.

We have great local seafood so I go to a seafood market to buy fresh fish.

I don’t have an air fryer either. My daughter loves hers! She cooks lots of different things in it. I’m not even sure how those work. How are they different from a regular oven?

I don't have an air fryer. Today I heard about how wonderful Trader Joe's tilapia is.in it. Has anyone tried it?

Frozen tilapia.

Ham sandwiches on sourdough bread with Dijon mustard. Leftovers from yesterday’s ham dinner.

I always enjoy a sandwich the next day, whether I make ham, turkey or roast beef.

Hurray for leftovers! Except I have to mash more potatoes. My youngest finished them for breakfast.

Chili in the instant pot with tons of extra beans and veggies. I'm getting better at adapting my recipes, this time it's pretty good.

You do need to pay attention to how long the asparagus is so it will fit within the area that will form the edge of the dish. I must say, it worked perfectly.

What can I say? It was absolutely wonderful! No problem with cooking time and asparagus and puff pastry smeared with cheese. I added a bit of cubed ham, after all on Easter I can't have asparagus without ham! I have three pieces left for supper the next few days. And had an over easy egg with it.

Golden, I bought frozen Pepperidge Farm puff pastry.

And guess what asparagus means? New rubber bands!

techie -sounds very good!

glad - It looks lovely and not, actually, that difficult as long as you are not making the puff pastry. 😉

I am roasting turkey thighs for dinner, with cranberry sauce and maybe roasted eggplant as a veggie.

That looks really good Glad, the only problem I can see would be having both the asparagus and puff pastry cooked perfectly. I like roasting asparagus in my little counter top oven, drizzled with garlic butter - it's so much easier than trying to steam it without overcooking the tips, looks nicer too.

I am going to make an asparagus puff pastry with cheese. I have never worked with puff pastry before. It will be interesting. Looks yummy!

Today we are having turkey casserole. I roasted the turkey yesterday and the casserole (usually made with chicken but adapted to turkey this time) is just placing the meat on the bottom of a baking dish then covering with cornbread dressing and topped with gravy made from roasting drippings. You can use a can of condensed cream of chicken but the dripping gravy has far less sodium and tastes better to us. A few veggies and rolls on the side with some blueberry cobbler and we have our Easter Sunday dinner.

Techie,

I don’t eat a lot of sodium either. I find that too much sodium will definitely cause a spike in my blood pressure too.

I happen to like tortillas so I would eat it. I love scrambled eggs served in a tortilla.

NHWM, it's not as good as a real grilled cheese but it's faster to make and the "littles" love making them themselves so they're going to be part of my life at least through the summer. I've found a thin tortilla that only has 30mg of sodium, so for me there'll a reduced sodium option, even over my local "lite" bread which is a slightly smaller and thinner slice. My blood pressure is much better when I watch the salt; I have even been able to lose some of the meds! The tortilla can be grilled in the skillet too and is then as good as a grilled cheese, but I'm not ready to show the littles that yet...

Techie,

I would eat that! What’s not to like? Sounds great.

Way,

Let us know if you make an ironed grilled cheese!

TNtechie.

Sounds yummy !
There is an oldish movie called Benny and Joon . In the movie they make grilled cheese on an ironing board and hold the iron on the sandwich , flip it over and hold the iron on the other side . My daughter and I have always wanted to try that. Lol

New (at least to me) way to do a grilled cheese quick and easy. Take a tortilla, place your cheese in it (and other goodies like some spinach and tomato slice), fold the sides toward the middle and then fold it in half the other way. Put it in the toaster and you have a good toasted cheese.

My daughters are the same. They have stuff that they leave here as well.

We are always looking for phone chargers! When we can’t find them we know that they snatched them up and they are in their rooms.

Need,

I’ll take it !! My kids know they are always welcome . I feel fortunate that they still call our house “ going home” . They leave pajamas here still and other random things . They never totally moved out .

They do tend to steal my phone chargers when they leave though .
They think they are taking their own chargers when they pack . Lol

I agree that as long as everything is in moderation it isn’t a big deal.

Thanks NHWM,
Taking a break until we attack cheese platter. Hubby loves cheese, especially brie, as per PD recommendation cheese is not to good for him, but, on occasion everything is good.
