I always get stuck on what to cook. I'd love to cook a broiled salmon or roasted lamb, but I'm the only one in my household who likes salmon and lamb. Something light and flavorful would be nice...

Having 3 kids here on Wed night - no clue, yet!
So many choices for what to serve! In the middle of a 14.5# turkey cooked on Thursday. Have 1/2 of the bones/skin in Instant Pot to make stock. Then have all ingredients for potato broccoli soup to go right back into IP once stock is done. Also making pate from the single big liver - cooling then into the mini food processor. Listening to Hamilton mind-blowing soundtrack on YouTube - Dh is going tonight w/older son here in Detroit. Colleen

Last night w/2 entrees - Cuban sandwiches and Carnitas tacos
I bought a nice looking 7+lb boneless pork butt at Aldi's which I cooked overnight using Gretchen's Pulled Pork method - coating with brown sugar and pepper. Dh sliced the thicker muscle "strips" and made Cuban sandwiches on bolillos buns. I pulled the thinner strip pieces into shreds to crisp in the oven for "carnitas", stirring pork with a large splash of OJ, squeeze of lime, minced garlic, and a sprinkle of cumin and crushed dry Mexican oregano. Younger Ds made us Aperol Spritzers, fried up the soft tortillas and filled my prized Tupperware divided server with all of the traditional taco stuffings. Older Ds made a large kale salad with red romaine and oakleaf lettuces, halved grape tomatoes, candied walnuts, dried cranberries, feta and made a honey dijon vinaigrette. Black beans, rice, and baked apple slices completed the buffet. We started with layered dip/tortilla chips and ended with lemon curd yogurt cheesecake pie. Colleen
