Roasted Chicken Thighs and mashed potatoes
Some leftover chicken thighs, seared on both sides, then finished in the oven, then a few potatoes, boiled then mashed. It went quicker then I thought, but turned out pretty well for the amount of time spent.
Iowa Beef burgers with smoked bacon
Simple burgers, and the wonderful smoked bacon from Crooked Gap Farm. It was a good match.
Ground Goat Curry
I don't want to call this a "I'm cleaning out my cupboard", but that's what it turned out to be. So there were a few things I bought for it, the coconut milk, the ginger, things like that. But the rest was from things already in the house. Carrots, onion, yellow potato, ground goat (yes I had ground goat in the house), etc. Simmered the potatoes in the coconut milk and tomatoes and sriracha. It turned out pretty well. The goat, which it does, stands out, even with all the other flavors.
Sloppy Sammys
In order of preparation: Onion (until soft), Garlic, spices (variety, salt, pepper, chili powder, chipotle chili powder), other vegetables (this time jalapeno), ground meat (beef this time, until almost cooked through), can of diced tomatoes, some amount of tomato paste (I usually use what is left in the fridge), mustard (Yellow). Simmer until thickened, serve on rolls / bread.
And since it's got a summery feel, Bratwurst
It makes it feel like summer, it does...though later in the week the weather was closer (certainly spring like).
