Lazy Man's Chili (using frozen leftover braised pork shoulder)

It worked out. Made it a bit milder than previous chilis due to some complaints. But it still worked out. Pretty good overall, but not my best effort.

Spicy Pork and Mustard Green Soup (p70 Bon Appetit January 2014)

This was nice! I had to swap out kale for mustard greens (since the mustard green options looked withered). Good on a cold night. Would be nice to save it for tomorrow or Monday.

Pan-Roasted Chicken with Harissa Chickpeas (p30 Bon Appetit January 2014)

Of the stores I tried (3) nobody had Harissa paste. So I shelved it and we had some burgers instead.

Low-Fat Meaty Lasagna

First use of the Lasagna Pan I got for Christmas from Shannon's Mom (Thanks again, Linda!). Highly rated by Cook's Illustrated, I've been wanting it for a while since sometimes a metal pan doesn't make a ton of sense. While the picture looks a bit of a mess (I did overcook the white sauce on top a bit (started to early)) it turned out great.

This was quite the task, I started around 5:PM and finished around 8:PM. Making two sauces. Turned out pretty good. Maybe a bit more spice, but yeah you miss the fat a bit, but the mushrooms help to get it back to the savoriness.

Quick Cheesesteak subs

Quick, easy, pretty tasty.
