This was breakfast for house guests. I made veggies with onions and peppers on he cast iron pan and then I made eggs with soy chorizo. I heated the tortillas on the pan which gives them a nice crisp. It was eggs, peppers then topped with avocado.
It was good but pretty simple.

Even though I just had Walafels, I decided to make it again (the dough defrosts super quickly).I cooked it for 9 minutes 30 seconds which was fine. I decided to also top it with two poached eggs. (3 minutes with a simmer).
It was good. As usual! I would do this again and again with the egg. It was better than a strange yogurt sauce (though I think tzatziki is better). I also put sriracha on it.
The broken egg version is below:

I was originally just making falafel dough to freeze but I tasted some and it made me want to make a Walafel. I made two batches of dough and froze 1.5 of it for later use. The other one I cooked on the waffle iron for 7 minutes. The dough was pretty standard except I used regular (as opposed to flat-leaf) parsley. I ended up using less than entire batch since it was simply too much.
Maybe it was because this wasn't previously frozen but it was still wet. I would do 10 minutes next time but check on it.
I also made a dip out of yogurt, Sriracha and z'atar.

Meredith was out of town so I made a NY Strip Steak. I salted it and let it sit for 40 minutes. After blotting it, I followed these instructions on cooking it. I had a cast-iron pan super hot in the broiler. I did 3 minutes per side and then 4 with the oven on 500°F. While it was resting, I did shishito peppers.
I made a dip for the peppers with light mayo, olive oil, white miso, garlic powder and some of the drippings from the steak.
Honestly, this was the best cooked steak I have made but it wasn't super flavorful. Maybe it is because of how I cooked it, the meat, or the lack of added butter. But either way, I was simply not impressed. I think I am going to stop trying to make steak since I tend not to be successful.

I wanted an easy and light meal but also with things that Meredith doesn't really like since she was out of town. I made curry-roasted cauliflower (she likes roasted cauliflower but not with curry) and a ham steak. It was pretty simple and not much to it.

We made one of Meredith's favorite meals. It is the same thing we did before (2014-06-14). We first grilled the lobster. We butterflied it and grilled with the shell for about 7 minutes. We pulled the meat out of the shell and let it finish cooking (the shell adds flavor so we wanted it for a while).
We poached eggs (3 minutes on a simmer) and made the cilantro sauce from the cilantro-egg-drop soup but with a single (large) jalapeno instead of thai peppers. And heavy on the spices. We first coated the bread, then lobster with the egg and then topped it with the sauce.
We also served it with [lightly] roasted asparagus (5-7 minutes at ~400°F)

A quick and easy meal. We bought these 110cal Sandwich Rollups (we've done similar before but these were better). We topped them with low-fat cheese, turkey pepperoni (Wegmans Brand. Much better than hormel), peppadews, mozzarella balls, and a variety of other toppings. Really nothing too special but it was easy and good.

We made the avocado basil cream sauce with zucchini noodles as we have done previously (local recipe). We did our own toppings and skipped the corn. We followed the sauce recipe pretty closely except that we went light on the lime (I think the recipe calls for about the equivalent of one lime and we used 3/4).
We made pan-seared tofu for the top. We cut the tofu and soaked it quickly in hot water to help harden it. We then pan seared it with just pam and finally tossed it in some thin teriyaki sauce. A bit strange with the creamy noodles but really not bad.
