Cheddar & Scallion Stuffing (a thought I had) patties w/ eggs

I could’ve added a bit more fat, I suppose, to make a patty that would fry up a bit better, put over all they didn’t stick together that well, but they did get the nice crispy edges. I did do this a few more times, for lunch, and it was a nice combination. Good thought, but would have to rethink the patty part. Perhaps if I had sliced directly from the pan, rather than the broken up stuff that got stuffed into the fridge. Anyways, a half way decent way to use up leftover stuffing.

Pork Burgers

Good as always.

Taco Salad

A nice change back to normal.

Butternut Mac & Cheese

It was a good use of the leftover butternut squash that we have from our Grade A thanksgiving pack. My big complaint about this recipe, is this line:

Pour half of the cheese sauce over and add puréed, roasted butternut squash. Fold together. If it seems too dry, add the rest of the cheese sauce.

The fudge is that? Look I get the butternut squash may be a bit of a variety in size. So you make a lot of cheese sauce than maybe only use half? What do you do with the other half? I get having extra makes sense…but damn.

In the end the noodles were a bit overdone, not taking into account that they would cook in the cheese sauce, but it was still all right. I added more herbs and spices, like mustard, cause damn.

Grilled Cheese with Asiago and Dates

Delayed. Shannon had a rough day, so we ordered Pizza. Saturday, the Cheese Bar.
