I was pooped so DH cooked after I fed kiddo. He made angel hair with some mini chanterelles and coral mushrooms we foraged this morning, yellow heirloom tomato, garden chives and sage, butter, white vermouth, Parm Regg, and shallot. With slices of leftover rotisserie chicken. Good and even tastier because I didn’t have to lift a finger.

Tonight’s dinner was Baked Corn Broccoli and Hamburger casserole. The recipe is a modified version of a “Glen and Friends Cooking” Baked Corn recipe. I’ve made it before and I guess it was time for it to make its way back into rotation.

Got home a couple hours ago from San Diego. We had the energy for cheese, pepperoni, and crackers. Session IPA for him and Vermentino for me. Parker was very happy to see us!

Thanks for sharing this idea! I can see myself trying this later in the season when the weather gets cooler here and my thoughts return to risotto.

I grew this beautiful monster.
And made it into a salad with mint, red onion and grilled squid.
Also roasted some avocado squash with rosemary.

Wow, I’ve never heard of avocado squash before. I’m assuming it’s more for the visual similarity than flavor?
The are spherical, so not avocado shaped. But they are very creamy, like an avocado. Also, they come in single-serving size, which is useful.

I was thinking more of the color, although a lot of squash has the green/beige color scheme going.
A creamy squash. Huh. Two farmers markets today. I’ll look around.
Mine looked like this.

Considering the souffle included leeks, spinach, and potatoes, I would say there were ample vegetables in this dinner

I hear ya. I try making vegetable-centric meals especially at this time of the year when we are at the peak of the growing season. But there are days when I’m too tired to put much thought into dinner so even the onion I start my stir fry with counts as one of the vegetables.

I’m really intrigued by these - I will have to look around for them, I don’t think I’ve ever seen them.
Delivery while I still manage my jet lag so - Cumin beef over hand pulled noodles from House of Noodles, Newton, MA.
Noodles got a little soft in transit, but overall this really hit the spot!

That looks fab. We were lucky to be just a 5 min walk away from an amazing hand-pulled noodle place in Berlin, and their cumin lamb version was the bomb. Delivery is the best dinner after long travel.
