I made a mixture of Potatas Bravas with half potatoes and half rutabagas. It was actually really easy. I tossed the potatoes and rutabagas with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, cayenne, and chipotle powder. Roasted at 425°F for around 40 minutes.
I roughly used our recipe for the sauce but roughly doubled. I blended some of the tomatoes and then just played with the seasonings. Again, mostly smoked paprika, chipotle powder, cayenne, a tiny bit of liquid smoke, and some vinegar.
We also had lemon-chipotle chicken sausage grilled. It was a nice compliment to the smokey meal.
Only problem was that I made way too much of it.

Quick pho again. Still fine-tuning a reduced spice version of this. I made it with
Plus the normal 1/4 cup fish sauce at the end.

I threw together another asparagus stir-fry. It was roughly inspired by broccoli beef but with a Thai bent. In particular, for the sauce, I used:
I made the stir fry first by stir-frying (from frozen) 1/2 pack (125 grams) of Gardein "Beef" tips(5 pp total). Then I used a bit of oil and did half an onion with garlic towards the end. I then stir-fried about a pound of asparagus.
When I added the sauce, I quickly realized that it was too much. It thickened nicely but was too much of it. I will have to reduce it in the future.
It was actually pretty good though way too salty! I will work on that in the future.

We had friends over and they bought us a waffle iron so we made two things waffled plus soup.
The soup was really, really good. We made it based on past soup recipes and I then wrote it up into its own recipe on my recipe book. We used Sargento Parmentino which is about 3.75 oz which is pretty low for the amount of soup.
There was not a lot of other flavors but it was still really flavorful. It needed the lime juice to brighten the flavors.
For the main meal, we made parsnip waffles. We had done them before but pancaked it. Now that we had the waffle iron, we used that. Meredith made it but I think she followed the recipe pretty well. It didn't pancake super well. I think we liked it more as a waffle. It had a nice flavor but wasn't anything out of this world. Also parsnips are really hard to waffle since they have such a thin tip.
Finally, we made brownies in the waffle iron. We used Ghirardelli dark Chocolate Mix with White Chocolate Chips. We tried doing smaller bunches but what worked best was to use a lot of batter and fill the iron. They needed 7 minutes. Also, they seemed to be very soft but they hardened at the end after they were out of the iron. And they were so good! Biggest issue was that we ate too many of them! But we will do this again.

I made a stir fry using the "broccoli beef" recipe for the sauce with a pound of asparagus and a zucchini. The meat was the fake chicken from the asian market. I thought it was really good as usual. And it looks pretty as it was being cooked in the dutch oven.

Pretty simple dinner that was really all about the veggies. We had this new hybrid vegetable: kale-sprouts (kale + brussel sprouts). We roasted them for 7 minutes. We also did shishito papers. We made a dip with light mayo, olive oil, garlic powder, Sriracha and cayenne pepper. Finally, I also made a ham and egg open-face sandwich.

I made a balsamic broccoli and zucchini stir-fry. I used my recipe here and made it in the dutch oven. I used a chicken thing from trader joes (7 points) making the whole meal pretty light. Maybe 10 points total. And so many veggies! I really like this recipe at this point.

We made the same avocado-basil pesto thing (local copy) like last time except we skipped the greek yogurt. We used a little bit of olive oil and more avocado to try to make up the creaminess. We used too much lime giving the entire thing more of a lime taste than basil. We'll be more reserved next time. The shrimp were just sautéd. Nothing special
