My wrist is sore today, so I didn't do anything fancy, but here it goes!
I didn't take any pictures of what I cooked today, but here's one of where I got lettuce for our salad. My little garden is doing quite nicely.
In addition to salad, we had baked chicken and mashed cauliflower. Both are extremely easy.
Baked Chicken
Pre-heat the oven to at least 350 degrees F.
Cut up a whole chicken, or take pre-cut chicken pieces.
Spray a baking dish with olive oil. Put the chicken pieces in the baking dish. Spray them with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Bake for 30 minutes. Turn the pieces over sprinkle the other side with salt and pepper, and bake for another 15-20 minutes (until the internal temperature is at least 170 degrees F).
(If you manage to time it right, and take them out at 170 degrees, cover with foil and let rest for 5-10 minutes so the internal temperature comes up to 180 degrees.)
Mashed Cauliflower
Cut a whole head of cauliflower (or as much of one as you can fit into your steamer) into florettes.
Steam them for about 25 minutes.
Dump them into a bowl. Add a few tablespoons of butter (and salt, if you used unsalted butter).
Mash. (I use a hand-held immersion blender. If you use a potato masher, you might need to steam the cauliflower longer.)
My husband prefers more salt than this, but he adds it at the table.
