We're having a brunch of scrambled eggs with green ? peppers and Jewish rye toast does that count ?
But we did have the above ^^^ Asian Grilled Salmon recipe yesterday for supper and it was delicious ! My wife got the salmon at Aldi's for $8/lb better than two $19 restaurant takeouts. Still deciding on tonight's dinner.

Hell yea! It is stunning how much money my wife and I have saved over the last 18 months be not eating out, plus we can control the sodium and whatnot. Heading to the kitchen now to make a protein shake.....
Almond milk, Plant based protein powder, frozen bananas and frozen strawberries.... Todays ride was brutal, and I'm worth it. ?

You mentioned smashburgers. They have become my favorite, done on my cast iron griddle on the gas grill. Butter & toast buns (on griddle while heating to 400 degrees) Secrets are twofold...."meatballs 80-20" kept cold, then SMASHED thin (with my "Sasquash" from Amazon & parchment paper to prevent sticking) soon as placed on the 400 degree surface & then seasoned. Instant sear=flavor, then about 2 minutes cooking, flip, 1 minute more cooking, add cheese, close grill shortly to let cheese melt & serve. Because they're thin, all mine are served as doubles.
Seasoning I use is 7-2-2......7 T Diamond Crystal kosher salt (any other brand, cut to 4 T, 2 T GRANULATED garlic, & 2 Tfresh ground black pepper. This seasoning is also great for steaks & pork chops/cutlets.

They are quite tasty. A "crunchier" taste than most burger joints or even backyard grillin'. My wife and I both like them.

Steamed burgers are excellent, and healthier.

Today we had tilapia steam cooked in the microwave in a dish with a lid designed for this. The tilapia came out fork tender and was really good for a whitefish meal.
We had a spinach salad I had French dressing plus olives, artichokes and crackers for an appetizer and french style green ? beans also asparagus as sides for the ? lunch.
AND the tilapia was on sale at Aldi's for about $5.79/lb we had about a half pound each....... really good and good price nice lunch today.

(And almost like Ted's ?)
Brought to you by our resident health nut diehard.
Actually they sound pretty good (I was thinking that blah English stuff) worth giving it a try along with conventional grilled cheese ? burgers and smash burgers which are crunchy good.
GO BURGERS, it's what's for GAMEDAY football ?......baby !

Today is a beautiful cookout weather day so we're having cheese ? burgers on the grill with tater tots in the oven and a salad and/or a green ? vegetable like asparagus, spinach or french style green beans. I'm basically on a high protein diet with good healthy so this lunch is good -and- delicious.
All of those canned vegetables are from Amazon pantry delivered to your at a good price. I generally get 12 packs of the veggies for a price and convenience.
My wife was at Walmart and got a package of their PRIME RIB STEAK HOUSE BURGERS a package of 4 is 1.33 lb or 0.42 lb each for $9.11 or $2.25 each.
They didn't have a meat mix (like 80/20, etc) so it looks like all ground prime rib meat mix, 380 calories each. So you're looking at a 500-570 calorie cheeseburger ? for a key part of a 2,000 calorie diet. And a definite GAMEDAY meal. You just have to watch the chips, dip and other munchies instead load your cheeseburger with lettuce, tomato, onion or any of your other favorite toppings.
Mmmm-mmmm sounds good mine is a burger with Deluxe American or maybe Cheddar cheese with mustard, mayonnaise, lettuce, red onion........ and burgers hit the grill at 2 pm this afternoon !

We have two burger ? patties left from the ^^^^^ above Walmart PRIME RIB STEAK HOUSE BURGERS and we are going to have them today. (see above post for details).
Yesterday's burgers we both found were good but maybe lacking the PRIME RIB buildup. In any case we've had better hamburger patties from Aldi's for less and were really tastier and juicer...... but you hate to judge on just one test. The condiments and side dishes carried the meal out. It often does.
Tonight we both are having Vadellia onions on our burgers her's grilled and mine a big raw sliced Sweet Vadialla, salted with mustard and mayonnaise on a toasted bun.
Dinner is at 6:30:pm with the usual appetizers and other stuff....... can't wait to dig in !
.......... edit add, optional grill time decision for any tomato ? or any other adds !

Starting the week of August 29 and for as long as we want monthly we are getting PACIFIC SALMON and later WHITEFISH from the WILD ALASKAN COMPANY sent to us packed in dry ice of the good stuff. We're starting with twelve 6-8 oz. servings of Coho and Sockeye salmon and later five different whitefish -or- various crab, scallops or whatever at an additional cost -and- of course great for any GAMEDAY.
We haven't forgot about our delicious steaks, chops, chicken and pizza but I'm really on this high protein eat well menu which now includes east to cook GRILLED SALMON mmm-mmm good. So rather than buying it pack at a time it's the monthly plan...... we'll see how it goes !

Our GOOD OL' TUNA NOODLE CASSEROLE a favorite old recipe that is easy to make and delicious for any meal even before GAMEDAY. We might cook up some sausage ? on the grill and have a casserole for a get-together.
And see more links below.
SERVES. 6. COOK TIME. 30. MINUTESOur Good Ol' Tuna Noodle Casserole is a comforting classic that first become popular in the 1950s. Our version has the same mouthwatering flavors, but we've added a few shortcuts, so that you have more time to spend with the family. This tuna noodle casserole has a nostalgic feel, and you might just find all those childhood memories coming to join you at the table.
What You'll Need to have......oh we have a few tweaks to this classic recipe. My wife adds some chopped celery, optional.
- 1 (12-ounce) package wide egg noodles
- 2 (10-3/4-ounce) cans cream of mushroom soup
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1 (12-ounce) can solid tuna in water, drained and flaked
- 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese....... we don't use cheese just add mayonnaise, optional.
- 1 (13-ounce) package frozen peas
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup French-fried onions.......we like to use bread crumbs also optional.
What to Do
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9- x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Prepare noodles according to package directions; drain.
- In a large bowl, combine soup and milk; mix well. Add noodles, tuna, Swiss cheese, peas, butter, salt, and pepper. Pour mixture into prepared baking dish then top evenly with French-fried onions.
- Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until bubbly and heated through. Serve immediately.
Test Kitchen Tip
-
When it comes to the tuna, we think this is best with white solid tuna packed in water. It seems to give it the freshest taste. Yes, it’s a bit more expensive, so if you prefer, chunked in oil will work. The choice is yours.
