What's for Dinner, Wed., Mar. 1, 2017

The cauliflower soup I made yesterday was a hit, so whatever’s left of that for this evening, along with pork chops and applesauce.

Polenta, sauteed, and with peppers on top.

Salad is watercress, red and green cabbage, and a few other types of greens. I think I’ll try the new sesame ginger salad dressing we purchased the other day. It’s made by Bragg’s.

Sorta my version of a Mexican shake 'n bake. (Oven "fried" crunchy Mexican chicken??)

With chili pinto beans w/ cilantro, and Mexican rice with pico de gallo folded in at the end. And, a cup of leftover posole verde as an appetizer.

American style beef chili with cheddar on top. Toasted onion roll with butter.

Some fruit after, I'm not sure what we have.

4. Vegetable Meatloaf

I sort of used this recipe as a basis for meatloaf
http://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/vegetable-meat-loaf

but no meatloaf is ever the same depending on what veggies are begging to be used up in the frig. I shredded the veggies in the food processor and voila! savory and tender meatloaf. Even better will be the yummy sandwiches tomorrow. Meatloaf sandwiches are the real reason to make meatloaf to begin with.

Chemical taste overrode the real potatos, corn, bacon & onions. I'll never use that again. The bread&butter was good though.

Organic free range chicken, onions, celery, carrots, peppercorns, bay leaf, sage, thyme. Low slow stove top cooking. Tomorrow is supposed to be blech weather, so sitting overnight will be okay. I'll never buy a soup starter again.

A King Arthur recipe. Enjoyed with a bottle of Villa Wolf Pinot Noir Rose.
