Breakfast: oatmeal for the girls. Jason made me a scramble with the onions and zucchini diced up in the fridge. Jason ate cold cereal at work, I suspect because he didn't eat here.
Lunch: Cress and Phyllis had leftover Cobre Valley casserole. Cress had pickles, celery and carrots. Phyllis has carrots and pickles. Dai has cherry tomatoes, a Claussen pickle (she doesn't like the gherkins I got this time) and carrots with a ham and Swiss sandwich. Dai and Phyllis got a marshmallow for dessert.
Dinner: Italian chicken, salad and spaghetti noodles. I was looking for camping recipes today. I need to make meatballs ahead of time and went to Pinterest to find the recipe. I saw how many pins I had and started trying to identify those I have done. I found the Italian chicken one that I hadn't yet done, but sounded really good. It has tomatoes, artichoke hearts, basil, garlic over chicken breasts baked and then add mozzarella on top at the tail end. Serve over your favorite pasta - hence the spaghetti noodles. Not that it is a favorite but we had it on hand. Jason doesn't care for artichoke hearts and other than that, it is nothing to write home about so likely will not do again, but it was nice to be trying something new. The salad was awesome, if I do say so myself. Jason liked it, too. It was plain romaine lettuce but I added a cucumber thinly sliced into half moons, CSA radishes sliced the same way, raspberries from the CSA, halved grape tomatoes, toasted pine nuts and goat cheese crumbled on top. With homemade vinaigrette it was very tasty. I remembered to do peach iced tea today, too.
Prep ahead: CSA kale, pressure cooked the CSA beets, cooked up the sausage for camp pizzas, boiled eggs to make potato salad, boiled potatoes to make potato salad. (I hear ideally you should work with cold ingredients so I have pre-boiled stuff the last couple times I have made it.) I diced potatoes up very fine for home fries while camping. I am cooking those ahead of time, too, but hopefully I do not overcook them as I did the potato salad ones. I have six chicken breasts cooking in the crock pot for taco burritos while camping. Maybe I will also take some cooked pintos - though not refrieds, just cooked, seasoned beans. I also made meatballs. We vacuum packed them and they are freezing right now because they are camping food also. We are having spaghetti and meatballs one night.
