What's for dinner ( or lunch )

I'm trying to decide what to have for dinner. Thinking of delivery--a pizza or fettucine. Either that or a tuna sandwich or canned ravioli. Can't make up my mind yet!;)
 
I’ve got a pan of potatoes, onions, carrots and garlic roasting in the oven. Sort of a meatless version of an Italian sausage bake.

I’ve been experimenting with downsizing some of my tray bake recipes from a 10”x15” sheet pan to a 9” cast iron skillet. It sounds easy enough but I still seem to make too much.🐷

When my kids were young and I was feeding a small army my mother commented that one of her most difficult adjustments to an empty nest was ratcheting down grocery shopping and cooking habits. Like her and you @Aunt Bea, I still have trouble with that even though my last baby bird flew away over ten years ago.
 
Red snapper, lunch and/or dinner. Trying to eat all I caught!

I have a simple way to cook it. I have a large cast iron enameled pot, I heat it very hot, spray a little oil spray and drop the fish in. Then I turn the heat down low and just let the fish sit a while until done. Not bad for a guy cooking thing. My wife doesn't like the smell of cooking fish, I do! Will try and take a picture next time.
 
@hollydolly, since you didn't have any bright ideas for me about what to do today, the only thing I did was water the lawn. But...a friend of DSIL gave him 3 big zip-lock bags of fresh pitted cherries a while back, and they've been in the freezer so I'm going to make cherry cobbler for dessert tonight. Recipe calls for partially-thawed cherries.

DD is making a casserole for supper. I have no idea what kind of casserole. I'm going to eat whatever she puts in front of me, but not a lot of it, so there will be plenty of room for warm cherry cobbler with a scoop of French vanilla ice cream.

There are so many frozen cherries in the freezer that we'll probably be having a lot of cherry cobbler all winter long. Yum😋 It's not even close to winter here yet, and it will have to be a long winter to eat all those cherries.

I have two medium size eggplants. My plan is to make eggplant parmesan, but I feel tired so maybe not.

I made a batch of eggplant parmesan a few days ago and instead of meat in the sauce, I added chickpeas, mushrooms.
The layer between the eggplants is ricotta cheese with couple of eggs and parmesan cheese. Topped the second layer of eggplant with sauce and mozzarella. I've been eating it every day at dinner. Can't get enough of it. Love it!
 
I had two White Castle cheeseburgers from the freezer. I sure wish there was a White Castle here -- although I'd find it hard to resist eating there a lot. It might be one of those places one eats at as a child, and still loves the food as an adult.

My then-husband and I took friends from England to go Greasin' at the V (Varsity drive-in restaurant), which has been an Atlanta institution for decades. We were so excited to share this fantastic culinary experience with them. They hated it ... couldn't figure out how Americans could want to eat there. We decided one has to love their food before they reach adulthood. I admit we were surprised by their reaction. Who wouldn't love the V?

My daughter made tacos for dinner.
