Here is the new thread. For Easter dinner, I will be making a Maple-Glazed Pork loin, mashed potatoes, and steamed green beans for Easter dinner, along with homemade applesauce that I had in the freezer.
Since we were working all Easter weekend, I made deviled eggs and baked ham and cheese sliders for dinner Easter night. We've decided that the King's Hawaiian rolls are too sweet for us (they were on sale). On Tuesday, I made the honey garlic chicken in my new slow cooker. It cooks hotter than my old one, but I don't mind - I was always adding time to the old one. I used low sugar ketchup which I liked better. I need to try it again with less sauce
For dinner tonight, I made Shepherd's Pie. The base recipe came from Martha Stewart, but I have modified it, and continue to modify it. For the topping, I used the leftover mashed potatoes from our Easter dinner, mixed with some cream to soften them up.
For lunch today, I made butternut squash soup. I had about 2 cups of pureed squash in the freezer, I had a cup of chicken/turkey stock. I added 1/2 tsp. of Penzey's Now Curry, and I added some leftover heavy cream (not too much).
