What are you Cooking the Week of August 9, 2020?

[Mike Nolan]

No supper plans here yet, something that doesn't heat up the kitchen much, probably.

I bought some Genoa salami and a cantaloupe, so that's supper, along with some sweet corn and the peach tart that I posted in the baking thread.

For Sunday dinner, I made Maple Glazed Pork Tenderloin (recipe from Cook’s Illustrated) and mashed potatoes, along with microwaved green beans fresh from our garden.

BLTs - the first 2 regular size tomatoes (Celebrity) from the garden, after 2 teeny 1.5" diameter tomatoes. So good. The lettuce is from my 3rd succession planting, the 4th planting is just sprouting now.

Today we had leftover pork tenderloin,creamed corn and Italian beans with diced potatoes.

I wanted to use up leftover mashed potatoes for lunch on Wednesday, so I looked for mashed potato patty recipes online and found this one:

Leftover Mashed Potato Patties

I had to make some changes, as I only had 1 cup of mashed potato. I used an egg, used 1 Tbs. oat bran rather than flour, used less dried chives and onion powder (should have kept those two the same), some pre-grated mozzarella that I wanted to use up, and no bacon. I used my Zeroll #16 scoop (about ¼ cup). I flattened them into about 3-inch patties, then pressed them on both sides in Panko. That not only gave them crisp, it also kept them from burning and sticking. I used grape seed oil to cook them in a skillet. These were a little hard to keep together; I should have used additional oat bran, given that I was using half the potato and the full amount of egg. These were a little bland, so I would include more chive and onion powder next time.

I have a posted recipe here for Potato Puffs...uses 1 cup mashed potatoes and bake in muffin pan. I like to add dried minced onion.

[BakerAunt]

Thank you, S. Wirth! I wish that I had known about your recipe first. I have copied it for the next time that I have leftover mashed potatoes.

[Joan Simpson]

I made Sloppy Joe's from scratch and burger buns,french fries for me and pork-n-beans for my husband.

[S_Wirth]

You're welcome, BakerAunt! That recipe is especially handy after large fall/winter meals, just do multiples.

I made tomato sauce on Wednesday afternoon to go on the pizza we had that evening. I used a bunch of tomatoes from our garden. I start with a 10-inch sauté pan, into which I put olive oil and diced garlic. I heat it slightly, then add the cut-up tomatoes. I cook, stirring as needed until much of the liquid has evaporated and the sauce is thick.

[Joan Simpson]

I made lima bean soup from leftovers.I cooked 3 chopped small carrots,one rib of celery and about a half cup of chopped onion with left over tomato gravy,a bouillon and some left over chicken stock till they were soft,then added leftover dry lima beans and leftover rice.Simmered for a little while was so good.Refrigerator is about cleaned out for another grocery shopping day .
