What's for Dinner #100 - The WFD Big 100th Edition - November 2023

Thank you so very much for taking the time to post this for me. It sounds very good to me and I know my daughter will love it. She won’t eat pizza with a tomato based sauce. She love tomato based sauces with pizza and doesn’t understand why she doesn’t like them on pizza, but she just can’t eat red pizzas.

Have you tried starting with mayo? I’m not an expert but these have worked well for me. (If you want to make the mayo, I use an immersion blender.)

I spy… NO hot sauce?

I got some yellows, oranges, and reds in there too :wink:

A quick Skinny Orange Chicken dinner on Basmati rice with steamed broccoli and schprinkled with chopped cashews. Because I can.

P.S. DO NOT use 3 Tbsp of cornstarch if making a full recipe! It comes out so gloppy! I only use 1 Tbsp and it’s more than enough.

Chili with meat and beans from the freezer. The usual suspects: cheddar, scallion, sour cream, tabasco. Home-fried tortilla chips and chicken chicharrones on the side.

And it’s two months exactly since I sent out my first job app. It’s been a roller coaster but we are resilient!

One click away from ordering in Turkish or ramen (haha), I decided I wanted something simple and homemade instead.

So I made dal (boiled with broccoli slaw and aromatics, then pureed and tempered with more aromatics), rice, and fish en papillote with chutney. I really should have added coconut to the chutney to absorb the liquid, but it still tasted good even though it released some liquid.

Always funny to me when I crave dal and rice as a comfort meal, because I abhorred dal as a kid!
