2011 - Week 9 Cooking Results

Uncured Apple Cinnamon Breakfast Sausage and Scrambled Eggs

The sausage was ok.  I had bought 'em because they looked good, it was ok enough.  We ended up having this combination twice, because I had spent so much time that when Shannon woke up from her nap, it should've started making dinner a while before (the chicken thighs).  So it made for a quick simple meal.  Nothing too Special.  The second time around I added some Prarie Breeze cheese to the eggs which added a bit of niceness to it.

Eden Farms Berkshire Pork Tenderloin (pounded out) sandwiches

I segmented out the tenderloin in segments and then pounded it out quite thin.  I also made this twice.  The first time for dinner, I took the time to cover them in a loose covering of a mixture of mostly flour, pepper and salt.  The second time I made it for lunch on Saturday, but didn't use the flour.  It made for good sandwiches.

Ground Chicken Sloppy Joes

I don't think I've made Sloppy Joes the same way...since I started making them.  These were a bit on the spicy side.  I think I used cumin, cayenne pepper and some other things...

Sweet Breakfast Quinoa (p72 February 2011 Food & Wine)

This was surprisingly good and actually filling.  I think it has the fruits which provide the quick hit of sugar and then the full protein from the quinoa keeps you full, I may have to make this a breakfast staple.

Cider Vinegar–Braised Chicken Thighs (p49 February 2011 Food & Wine)

This is delayed until the next week.

bechamel based baked pasta dish (lots of leftover bechamel)

Since the bechamel was already made, this was easy to put together and throw in the oven.  It was a bit spicy (used quite a helping of spices and pepper jack cheese).  But it still went down pretty well.
