What's for Dinner #55: The March Forward Into Spring Edition - March 2020

A long time ago (80’s) there was a restaurant in Lexington, MA that had a deep dish pizza with a whole wheat crust, red sauce, ricotta, Italian sausage and broccoli. We could never order anything else from the menu. Your pizza brings back memories!!

I made my favorite Cook’s Country grilled jerk chicken thighs, creamy mac, and peas with butter, s&p, and dried mint. Everyone dug in (kiddo had simply seasoned chicken).

Just now catching up on all your delicious dinners! Wow! Very inspiring. I need to get out of my comfort zone.

Was it called Bel Canto? I remember tasting whole wheat pizza for the first time at the one in Cambridge, if memory serves.

Tonight was crabcakes, parmesan roasted potatoes, and spinach. No pics. Not very photogenic.

Maybe not very photogenic but it sounds delicious.

Comfort food in the order of magnitudes was in order for tonight, thus homemade tomato bisque, and grilled, roasted turkey, avocado, bacon and jarlsberg sandwiches on sourdough bread. Did the job nicely.

Meatball sandwiches tonight. 70% beef/30% pork. Milk & bread panade, pinch of oregano, 2 minced garlic cloves, minced parsley, egg, grated parm regg, & s&p. Big old fat balls! Fried then simmered in Rao’s marinara (which is my new love!) last night. Reheated tonight, buttered & toasted the bread, provolone melted under the broiler. Salad was endive, romaine, cherry toms, red onion, with a tomato vinegar & arbequina olive oil dressing. I’m ready for another.
