What's for Dinner, Wed., July 1, 2026

[NJCher]

Cherry chicken lettuce wraps. Has celery, green onions, mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lemon balm, salt and pepper.
I cooked the chicken breast in my slow cooker yesterday. I'm using iceberg lettuce, which I chilled in ice water when I washed it. Wrap the chicken salad in the lettuce leaf and top with toasted almonds and the cherries.

I was happy to find a recipe that used lemon balm. I have it growing all over my place. Here's a pic of a young lemon balm plant, which also makes a very relaxing tea. Almost like a drug--calms you down.


A bowl of cantaloupe with chopped mint leaves.

For dessert, a chocolate chip mochi and decaf cold coffee with half 'n half and cinnamon.

5. Chicken BLT club sandwich

I used chicken instead of turkey because that’s what I had. It was still delicious.

Also, the tomato was the third ripe one I’ve gotten from my tomato plants (early girl ~ 50 day). It was small but enough for the sandwich and it was also delicious. 😋

7. Up here in the hot Catskills: poke bowls

(After a gin & tonic…)

Sushi rice
Sliced chicken cutlet
Cucumber chunks
Avocado chunks
Kale slaw
Tahini dressing (tahini, rice vinegar, tamari, orange juice)

Brownie + coffee ice cream later, as we huddle in the air conditioned den with something on the TV.

Stay cool out there, Y’all!

9. Salmon Salad

Didn’t feel like heating up the kitchen and my produce broker brother in law gave me a bunch of romaine that had to be used up. Chopped romaine, red onion, tomatoes, black olives and capers tossed in a Dijon lemon vinaigrette and topped with a mound of deboned canned salmon. Toasted baguette on the side. Cheers!🥂
