My husband made fish and chips last night. He bought some cod from a recent fish market. I really loved it. The batter was light and that's what made it very good. 

Sounds delicious! 

Oh, it was!

I made this salad. I added a strawberry vinaigrette.

 

Looks lovely, and perfect for the weather we are having right now! Which is to say... hot. 

That looks really yummy, Ryrin!

Thank you! It was yummy and it was hot, that's why I chose something cold.

 

I made this yesterday and they ate it all.

 

A sweet noodle kugel with cheese.

 

That kugel looks wonderful!

For the 4th of July: Raspberry Apple Blueberry pie! Seasoned with honey and poudre fine (this particular spice mix recipe is from the 1390s).

That looks insanely good!!! I love fruit pies.

Thank you! I was experimenting in the kitchen. Very pleased with how it turned out. 

My mouth is watering looking at that pie. Looks yummy. I can almost smell it too.

 

I don't have any pictures, but I made a really good chicken cordon' bleu the other night. I did some herb crushed potatoes and green beans.  It was enjoyed by all who ate it which surprisingly was not just hubby and me.  Hubby gave a ride to a couple and found out they are new to town and staying with a friend. So, we fed them dinner too. 

Minuet, I would have liked to have been at that dinner!!

 

I just made gazpacho and it was yummy.

What was nice was there was plenty of food. We joke about the fact I still cook for 4 even though there is only 2 of us now.

Leftovers!

Yes, but mac and cheese for 2 days straight when hubby goes on shift is no fun. It is one of my favorites, but eating just that gets rough. I am trying really hard not to have much in the way of leftovers.

I cook enough for 2 meals for the family, then freeze half for quick warm-up next week or so. Usually I will cook a few meals over weekends especially, to freeze half for a weekday when I don't have much time to cook.

That is what I should do. I did freeze some yummy spaghetti from last week.  I did portions for just me for when Hubby is on shift. He can't have a lot of stuff with tomatoes so it worked out nicely.

Now that's a smart thing to do.
