Hot smoked salmon, chick pease, green (wiggle) beans, tomatoes, and olives.
Dressing was Nicoise-Inspired Salad [Real Simple]. Also had crackers

Keeping the one-a-week trend, I made Grilled Chicken Bacon Ranch Pasta Salad [Ambitious Kitchen].
This time, however, I was making it to bring to a Fourth of July party so I was less worried about calories.
First I doubled the ranch. Probably a bit too much but not bad tasting! I also subbed pepperoni for bacon. I think using bacon is the right answer but I was curious about it. I also used lemon-pepper rotisserie chicken (from Walmart). I did add chopped arugula and skipped the avocado

I made a variation on my Crispy Seared Salmon.
The first change was that I accidentally used smoked paprika instead of cumin. Not a bad change but not intended.
The real issue was that I tried to up the salt since I didn't have a chance to brine. I used 1 tbsp of salt and that was too much. And/or it didn't spread very well. I really need to remember to salt it the first time correctly.
I also think I cooked it too hot...
Meredith made Zucchini Crisps. Light dusting of Parmesan and then 15-20 min in the air fryer at about 450°F.

Fattoush [Jerusalem: A Cookbook by Yotam Ottolenghi]. Meredith used about half the amount of oil. I am not sure if that is a typical change or not.

Pita pizza instead of ordering. And Meredith made Boursin stuffed peppers. (I can't find the previous time but I will add the link when I do)

I made Grilled Chicken Bacon Ranch Pasta Salad [Ambitious Kitchen] again for our lunch but skipped the bacon, forgot the arugula and avocado, and used rotisserie chicken. I really liked it! I had to add more salt to make up for the lack of bacon. And I ended up heavy on the dressing. But it is pretty easy and tastes great. I also used frozen corn directly. It defrosted enough just in the mix.
Served with Carrot Raisin Salad

Meredith made chocolate coconut cupcakes for Isaac's birthday. She used Mint Chocolate Chip Cake [Cakes by Courtney] for the cake and Coconut Cream Cake [Cakes by Courtney] for the icing.
Perhaps because I accidentally left the Baking Steel in the oven or because of other factors, the cake rose oddly and stuck a lot to the cup cakes. But Meredith was able to free it and cover it well enough with the icing.
They were, unsurprisingly, delicious!
