Meatless pasta sauce, from the freezer (I made it with roasted tomatoes last year). I'm going to saute chunked zucchini and throw that into the mix, too. Over spaghetti, most likely. With a bit of salad.

Creamy chipolte chicken tacos and corn on the cob.  The corn was fantastic!  Super sweet and yummy!  The tacos had a bit of a kick but even my kids ate em up!  Now I want some watermelon to finish it off!  (I don't have any. lol)

Rick had a bad sinus headache last night and wasn't hungry. I threw together a quick wrap for each of us and that was our supper. No spaghetti. He was pretty much down for the night. He ate his wrap and went to bed.

Got my new Cooks Country mag the other day and there's a simple recipe in there for a baked pasta dish that I'm going to make tonight. It's sausage with tomatoes, summer squash and pasta. Cook the sliced sausage, then add the yellow squash. Then add chicken broth and tomatoes and the dry pasta. Cook about 15 minutes. Add freshly grated Parm and a sprinkle of fresh chopped basil and you've got (what I hope is) a good Saturday night supper.

chili, and a slice of homemade carrot cake.
I'm jealous.  I had frozen grocery store Chinese, and I'll never buy this particular one again:  InnovAsian General Tsao's chicken.  It was sickeningly sweet, not very hot just incredibly sweet.  A weird kind of sweet too, like an overdose of aspartame or something.  Weird since it isn't diet.

Eww, aspartame has such an offputting taste.

I had spicy ramen with basa filets, egg, spinach, garlic and onion and an oyster sauce base. I always cook meat when the vegetarian goes away.
I'm trying to lose weight, so the other day I tried to cook fish without oil or salt and used water and lemon juice in its place. It was, hands down, the worst meal I have ever made. Whoever says citrus is a good substitute for salt must be delusional!

Couldn't you have spiced it up?

so many foods coming from the grocery stores are overly sweet, imo. with the carrot cake i make i have never frosted them. sometimes i'll dust a cake with powdered sugar, instead of frosting it. i like sweet, but some things don't need more sweet.

Grilled chicken breast that I'm turning into chicken fajitas....I'm going to add some grilled zucchini to our fajitas tonight (don't laugh, the zucchini is really coming in now and I need to use it!). And we're having some Parmesan grilled broccoli. 
if you have too many zucchini make pickles from them, especially bread-and-butter pickles, better than making them from cucumbers.
