Beef with broccolini, mushrooms and bit of leftover red bell pepper, served over basmati rice.

Pork chop, BBQ-style, dry rubbed then grilled on the PAG, yellow squash also grilled on the PAG.

Panko-breaded shrimp (Kirkland), air-fried, with steamed cauliflower with butter.

Figured as much! 😉

Burgers, cooked SV then seared, served with mashed cauliflower (butter, garlic and chives) and sautéed mushrooms.

Pizza with mozzarella, onion, sausage and mushrooms.

Spaghetti with my chunky red sauce, Italian sausage version, with (OMG) actual spaghetti noodles.

Tri-tip, cooked SV then seared, served with more snap peas in butter.

Panko breaded chicken tenders again, made the same way as last time. This works so well my days of pre-toasting the panko are over. (Light olive oil spray and air-fried.) Served with snap peas in butter.

Probably too much sugar content (no actual sugar, but cream sherry and mirin). I am going to try sake instead next time, but I was out. It was still tasty though. Served with mini-peppers and squash also grilled on the PAG. They were marinated in EVOO and balsamic.

Chicken tenders with homemade panko coating. Made in the air fryer. This time I did not pre-toast the panko. Instead I lightly sprayed the coating chicken with olive oil and that browned and crisped up nicely. Served with steamed cauliflower in butter. I also made a cherry pie, sans crust. Instead I put a few cheerios on top near the end of baking to give some crusty flavor without all the calories of a real crust. Not sure it made any real difference. Also made vanilla ice cream with oat milk. It was OK flavor-wise, but I like almond milk better. First the "pi
