Friday the 22nd: Food of the Week

 *Tonight is meatballs and mashed potatoes. The Husband likes his with a red sauce, and I use the Potenza Meatballs recipe from The Bread Monk. The mashed potatoes are a little difficult since we don't have a masher, but I think I will make them more smashed and trust they'll come together.

*Yesterday I made a dill and horseradish potato salad. It had no mayo, which was nice, and instead used olive oil and horseradish and mustard and lemon juice and herbs to make a nice creamy sauce. We had it with parmesan chicken from Aldi's. This was also the day that the boy cleaned out every leftover from the fridge for his lunch.

*Wednesday we had peanut butter, honey, cayenne pepper, and bacon sandwiches on cinnamon bread. 

*Tuesday was sausage patties and a fruit salad. I used apple, banana, grape, mango, nectarine, and plums. 

*Monday the boy made hash brown sheet pan casserole and green beans with shallots and lemon from hi Betty Crocker cookbook. He did a great job.

*Sunday we had cornmeal fried pork chops with goat cheese smashed potatoes. I definitely have more energy for cooking as we reach the end of the school year and my looming unemployment.
