I made what is quickly becoming a standard. Turkey Pistachio Arugula Patties based on this recipe and some of the mods at the top.
This one was 1.5x. I just used a giant onion instead of two smaller ones. Still, it was super, super wet. Between being really wet and making more so they were cramped on the pan, I left them in "ball" state and not patties. I also cooked them longer before broiling. And I managed to drain a lot of liquid between cooking and broiling.

I made Tofu Satay as I’ve done before. This was the first time I actually used pineapple juice. The coconut milk was from Trader Joe’s and it’s awful. It’s entirely non homogenized and super chunky. You can see it in the photo below. The fats did melt as I grilled the them and coated the tofu.
They came out pretty good and the baby even likes it (especially with the peanut butter sauce).
Meredith made the easy-version sauce and it was really good!

Meredith made Tuna Pasta Salad from The Kitchn (LOCAL)
Notes:
We liked it enough. Caroline was not very impressed but she just may not have been hungry

I made "Fiesta Burgers". I basically mixed a packet of low-sodium taco seasoning into 1.5 lbs of ground turkey. While I do not consider myself a burger aficionado or connoisseur, I have done a lot of reading so I knew I was making two major burger mistakes. (A) I was super handling it to add the seasonings and (B) I was mixing salt into the patties (which makes it more like a sausage texture). I also tried something different. Like I do with chicken, rather than oil the grates, I oiled the top of the patties. I tried to pull the patties off the parchment (meh success) and flip then onto the grill. I got a few minor flare ups. Then, before turning, I oiled the top. Flipping it this time caused major flames. Oops.
They did come out pretty good though. Not a great texture but we liked the flavor.
I also grilled broccoli with Fox Point seasoning. I did better at not burning it and going for longer at a lower temp. I thought they were cooked enough but could have used more. Meredith was happy with it.

Milk Chocolate Cookies and Cream Cookies from Joy the Baker (LOCAL)
Meredith’s Notes
They were good and very reminiscent of cookies and cream ice cream. But “not everything I wanted them to be”. Not my “go-to” cookie recipe.

Grilled shrimp with half Montreal Seasoning and half Adobo. I actually meant to do just Montreal but realized that after the Adobo went on one half.
Meredith also made Vegan Ceviche except that the cilantro went bad so it was missing.

I grilled broccoli using the grill basket. Maybe a bit too hot for not long enough as there was a mix of char and some raw but really not bad either. And hotdogs...
