Dinner tonight was grilled salmon, cole slaw and steamed broccoli.

I made pizza dough this morning and had pizza tonight..sausage,pepperoni,onion,green peppers,banana peppers,black olives and mushroom,with cheese.

Our dinner was grilled chicken, grilled potatoes, the last of the broccoli from the garden, and cole slaw.

I made TOH's cider-glazed pork tenderloin. I added the juices from the oven baked pork to the saute pan and reduced it per instructions. Could have added sliced apples too I suppose. Highly recommend this recipe.

That sounds delicious, Navlys.

It is soup weather, so on Wednesday, I made a pot of soup, using a mixture of beans and some barley from a company called Pereg. They pride themselves on gourmet beans, grains, and various mixtures. I bought this package a while ago at T.J. Maxx and needed to use it. I did a long soak overnight in salted water, following Kenji Lopez-Alt’s technique. I rinsed them this afternoon, then cooked them in fresh salted water. In a larger pot, I sauteed chopped celery and carrots in olive oil, then added a package of ground turkey and browned it. I added about 6 cups of turkey broth from the freezer, along with 2 tsp. of re-hydrated dried onion and 1 Tbs. Penzey’s Ozark Seasoning. I added the beans to this mixture, then simmered on low. We will have several more meals from this pot of soup.

I did black bean chili at the end of last week Saturday/Sunday its a fairly mild combination of several recipes that is my standard chili, I use beef heart cut up in very small dice for the meat. This was partly to be wierd I read that heart is the main ingredient in Chicago Chili Sauce , the one that is served on top of hot dogs, and partly because it seemed safer than buying ground round in the supermarket, and its appreciably cheaper than having a chuck roast ground at the butcher store. I also did Yankee cornbread to go with it.
I did chicken soup tonight, sort of Chinese flavored with onions and ginger and five spice powder for the time when I want something mild. Its a little too mild, but I can add some soy sauce or chili sauce later.
