Dental surgery in the morning (followed by a long map) meant that dinner was just (nice, soft) saag paneer and some ice cream. Happily, the leftovers were even tastier.

Saag planner with feta, from Priya Krishna. I should have bumped up all the spices, but it was still quite nice. I figured cheese + two bags of spinach + rice = plenty of dinner, so that's all we had.

Quinoa bowls with broccoli, boiled eggs and lemon-tahini dressing. More or less from the NYT; they called for farro which I didn't have on hand, and their recipe for the dressing was overly complicated (also: double it!). I also added some sliced mini bell peppers (and forgot the sesame seeds). Tasty and versatile and who doesn't feel virtuous eating quinoa and broccoli?

Rice and pinto beans for a quick dinner (I made the beans the night before in the Instant Pot; while 20 minutes has been right in the past, I thought they were a touch overcooked this time and would do a few minutes less, and add a little more liquid). Cheese, avocados, two salsas, and some quickly sautéed zucchini to round things off.

Eggplant parm pizza, with some frozen fried eggplant from the freezer. Very heavy and filling. Jason was a little disappointed as he felt he should have used more sauce (he was probably right). I think some pepperoncini peppers would have brightened the whole thing up, but Aldi has been out for months.

Dinner with Jodi; Jason made bread (duh) and I made pretzel cookies from "Smitten Kitchen Every Day'. They are supposed be a sandwich cookie with a caramel filling, but were good just plain. In fact Jodi really loved them (big win for me!). She is a known pretzel lover, so I was hopeful that she would go for them. Dinner was a pasta with what we scrounged up: onions, a can of white beans, garlic, spinach and some leftover pesto. Actually not bad at all.
