Chicken Cordon Bleu from the folks at Barber Foods, cabbage salad, maple glazed carrot coins, and apple sauce. 🐷

I've not eaten at all yet today... it's just past 7pm. I had a coffee at the pub , but despite buying loads of groceries today, I don't fancy any dinner ., funny because I was starving earlier when I was out, but I'm past it now..

if I have something later it'll probably be some smoked trout Pate on toast
 
I made cream of broccoli soup for lunch yesterday and finished it for lunch today with a couple of croutons. The easy way I make the soup: I pour a packet of Hollandaise sauce mix with 1/4 cup of I Can't Believe It's Not Butter spray and a cup of milk (although the directions say water) into my Magic Bullet with the very tines pieces of Broccoli florets left at the bottom of the bag. I heat it in the microwave with a little shredded cheddar cheese. I used McCormick's mix because I couldn't find Knorr's which I like better. It was still good though.

Tonight I will have a couple of leftover Pasta Prima spinach and mozzarella ravioli with green beans. Another easy meal. I'll reheat the ravioli with pasta sauce and extra mozzarella in the microwave. Cooking the ravioli only takes 7 minutes in boiling water.

What a great use for the packets of Hollandaise sauce!
I usually keep some in my pantry, as it makes eating broccoli more desirable for me sometimes.

I've got baby back ribs thawing on the counter now for dinner tonight.
And asparagus I should make before it goes bad.
 
PKCOV45-talapia1.jpg

For lunch today thawed two frozen farm raised tilapia fillets of 12 ounces I'd bought at Trader Joe's. About the only meat I eat is occasional chicken and fish. Cooked them on a Nutrichef PKCOV45 convection oven cooker I mentioned 3 months ago that I am still experimenting with. Pamphlet suggested 10 to 15 minutes at 285>300F degrees. Interested in how the cooking went, watched it the whole time. After 15 minutes at 300F though maybe done, it didn't look too sizzly so I added another 10 minutes that turned out about right.

Tilapia have a wonderful clean fish flavor that reminds me of some ocean surf perch. Onto a clear glass Pyrex dinner plate, added some Imperial margarine (soybean and palm kernel oil) and salt. Quite delicious. Afterwards in my sink, conveniently filled the cooker removable heavy duty 12" diameter 6.5" deep glass bowl with an inch of warm soapy water, and plopped in the chrome steel wire tray, that cleaned easily, then repeated with the dinner plate and usual tools.

Glad you like my idea. What brand is your Hollandaise... and is it jarred or powdered? I love broccoli...I can just eat it steamed with some I Can't Believe It's Not Butter or with a little American cheese and I make an interesting broccoli salad. I can eat broccoli several times a week. I used to cook asparagus when I was younger. Last time I had it, I choked on it, so not crazy about eating it now. Enjoy your dinner.
 
A local church prepares Fish Fries and brings them here to sell $14 each. They do it every Friday during Lent. I got one today. I am not a huge fan of them, but the church reaches out here a lot for different things so I bought one today.
They have come out and sang Christmas Carols, and done lots of things. I probably won't do it again, but a nice contribution to the Church.
