I made a pasta salad with lots of vegetables to go with the two remaining pecan covered pork slices. I deliberately made the pasta salad large with lots of vegetables, so that we can eat it over the next four or five days. For the dressing, I'm using the one that I make for the green bean and cherry tomato salad, as we really like its flavor. It combines olive oil, cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, and Penzey's Sandwich Sprinkle, along with some freshly ground pepper. We had to eat it without Greek cheese crumbles as, alas, we are out and the local store does not carry it.
Navlys--I dip them in egg mixed with Dijon mustard and paprika, then coat them with pecan meal. I cook on a parchment lined sheet pan in the oven at 350 F and check thinner ones at 15-20 minutes. You want to remove them when the temperature is 145 F. For 4 boneless pork chops, I would use an egg, 1/2 Tbs. Dijon mustard, and 1 tsp. paprika. (I also use a single egg for eight, but I double the mustard and sweet paprika).

October 2, 2025 at 5:36 pm #47445Tonight I had a grilled cheese sandwich with cottage cheese and pineapple.
October 2, 2025 at 6:18 pm #47448I've cooked up three 5-gallon pails of tomatoes from the garden into a sauce for soups and pasta, etc. and froze them in quart containers. I'll add the seasonings when I thaw them to use. I think I'll have another 2-3 pails of tomatoes ready to do the same again next week.

I roasted two butternut squash on Thursday, after we got back from getting our Covid shots. I used my food processor to puree them. I made Curried Butternut Squash soup by adding chicken broth to the desired consistency to the pureed squash in a pot on the stove, then a dash of maple syrup and 1 Tbs. of Penzey's Now Curry. I froze three 2-cup containers for fast lunches and had some soup with half of a turkey bacon-tomato sandwich. I have a little left for tomorrow as well.
For dinner on Thursday, I made Turkey-Zucchini Loaf with Peach-Dijon Mustard Glaze. It will give us another two meals after tonight, which is good, since temperature in the upper 80s are predicted for this weekend. I used a Golden Arrow squash.
October 2, 2025 at 8:16 pm #47450My tomato garden is only about 12x15 feet.
