What's for Dinner, Thurs., Feb. 20, 2025

BBQ pork sandwich on sesame seed sandwich bun. Zoodled sweet potatoes with fennel seed, crispy brown and very light.

Big tossed green salad, probably later tonight.

I was going to have this yesterday but my BBQ sauce turned out too hot. It called for an entire tsp of cayenne. By the time it was finished making it, I was too tired to fix it so I just had a salad last night.

Dessert: hazelnut sandwich cookies and decaf coffee.

made with real milk and Chocolate Cortés (thick bars of chocolate you melt into the milk). I'm not that really hungry.

I made a pot of pinto beans, and mashed some. I'll make chili tomorrow. Heated some breaded fish filets and oven crispy shrimp.

in the 7" pie plate. Italian sausage, pepperoni, sliced jalapenos and mozz, with garlic olive oil instead of tomato sauce. For dessert, I had a glass of chardonnay and DH had the last prune cupcake.

Off early today, so I put 2.5# ground pork in the freezer as 8oz sage breakfast sausage logs and 2.5# ground beef as 5oz patties. Then I processed 1# of pitted prunes into nearly 3 half-pint jars of lekvar (sounds so much better than prune paste). I wish I thought I wasn't going to need them.
