Beef Stroganoff & Air Fried Ranch Zucchini

I've made this recipe a million times. It's easy, good and cheap so that's great lol. The zucchini was from the garden that I tossed in EVOO, garlic/pepper/ranch seasoning and air fried at 400 for like 6 minutes.

Tortellini Salad

 

Tortellini Salad

This is another "it's too hot to cook" meal. Super easy and I wanted to use up a few ingredients from the garden. I was inspired by this tortellini salad recipe by Love & Lemons and I just randomly added stuff that I had already. I also used bottle dressing because I really wanted a super quick meal lol

Ingredients:

- 20oz bag of tortellini

- 2 tomatoes from the garden, diced

- 2 zucchinis from the garden, diced

- 1/2 red onion, diced

- 1 5oz container shaved parm

- 1 14oz can of white beans

- 1 14oz can artichoke hearts, diced

- 1 bell pepper, diced

- 1/2 cup maybe of pepperoncini, diced 

- a few handfuls of an arugula/spinach blend

- 1/2 bottle of Kens Zesty Italian dressing. I don't like it too wet so I added garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes and a smidge of cayenne to taste and mixed it into the salad

I just cooked the tortellini, chopped all the veggies and just combined everything. Super fresh and tasty, it would be amazing with some fresh herbs. The zucchini I diced and air fried with a little EVOO/salt/pepper/garlic at 400 for about 6 minutes. 

Veggie Sandwich with Garlic Butter Fries

 

Veggie Sandwich with Garlic Butter Fries

The guys were here finishing up the flooring today and I wasn't sure how late they'd be here. So I got some Dave's Killer Bread that I toasted and I spread some garden veggie cream cheese, & topped with: arugula, pepperoncini, tomatoes & cucumber from the garden, avocados and red onion. We had some bacon too that would have been yummy.

I also air fried some of these garlic fries from Kinders, they are super good

Creamy Salsa Chicken Skillet

Creamy Salsa Chicken Skillet

I'm 9 months pregnant and we've been having all of our flooring replaced so I've hardly cooked lately. But there was no construction today and we had all the ingredients for this so I thought it was the perfect time. It's super easy, the most work is dicing the chicken. I've made this once before exactly as written, but this time I made a few changes to use up ingredients I already have. Instead of beans and corn I added a zucchini from the garden, and I used 2 cups of homemade salsa my husband smoked and made. I didn't have any queso fresco but I did have some shredded Monterey Jack cheese. The rice is also just the microwaveable cilantro lime rice pouch. The green onion is leftover from another recipe, if we didn't have any it still would have been tasty without it. The homemade salsa has so much flavor!

EveryPlate Glazed Sweet Heat Pork Burgers

I air fried some frozen french fries since it didn't come with sides or anything. My son loved these. I thought they were good but I should have left the seeds in the jalapeno, because there was no heat....just sweet. So they would have been perfect if they were a bit spicy!
