What are you Cooking the Week of November 17, 2024?

We're having baked pork chops

We re-ran last night's dinner of black-eyed peas with rice and ham and coleslaw. We went hiking in one of the state parks today, so it was great to have a dinner that just needed to be warmed.

I bought a rotisserie chicken. I made mashed potatoes, broccoli and carrots.

I'm doing a beef stir fry for supper tonight.

We are having sourdough pan pizza (details in the baking thread) tonight, with coleslaw on the side.

It began snowing Wednesday evening, which is the first snow of the season for us. It continued into Thursday, so it was an excellent day for making apple butter using the crockpot that I bought at the thrift store a couple of months ago. I got it started late, around 1 p.m., so ten hours at low will be 11 p.m. I may refrigerate it at that point, then cook it on the stove tomorrow until it is the proper consistency. I want to can most of it.

I had a salad with fruit and a brownie from my neighbor.

It's Friday Pizza Night here again.

On Friday, I canned the apple butter that I refrigerated overnight. I warmed it on the stove and reduced it some before canning it. I canned five 8 oz. jars and one 4 oz. jar. I kept out another 4 oz. for a recipe (see baking thread), and there was a bit left to go into a dish in the refrigerator. One jar is designated for my younger bonus son and his family, and another is designated for my youngest sister and my twin nieces. I like this recipe that Mike Nolan found last year. My thrift store crockpot did an excellent job. I would trust it overnight next time. My only issue is that using my stick blender made a splattery mess. Given the depth of the crockpot, I expect it will always be a problem.

We had leftover black-eyed peas with rice and ham and leftover coleslaw. I also re-heated three leftover potato wedges. Leftovers let me concentrate on other projects.

Yesterday I had 2 hotdogs on bread before I went to poker and today I had a steak with baked potato and sautéed onions and peppers.

At the farmers' market on Saturday morning, a favored vendor had the salad turnips that I like so much. I bought a bunch and removed the greens, which I used to make Beans and Greens for lunch today and for another two days. Cooking it also turned into clearing some items from the freezer. I found some frozen chickpeas, a bit of frozen broth from black-eyed peas, and some pork deglazing. All of that went in, along with olive oil, onion, red bell pepper, 2 Tbs. tomato paste, freshly grated pepper, and Smokey Parika. I really enjoy this simple dish.

For dinner, we had the leftover pizza and more of the coleslaw.

Our dinner tonight was roasted honeynut squash and brussels sprouts, with salmon brushed with maple syrup.

We had more of last night's pizza.
