See below for our dinner plans tonight. I have a loaf of french bread to go with. Likely a big green salad to go alongside.

Basing dinner on a Hasselback Potato recipe I came across yesterday. Boneless Pork Chops and whatever veg looks best in the market, green beans have been good lately.


HASSLEBACK POTATOES


4 Med Yukon Gold--peeled and halved
1/2c. white bread crumbs
1/4c. parm or reg grated
1 tbsp. EVOO or butter melted
1 tsp. paprika
S+P to taste

1-2 tbsp. to drizzle atop

Oven preheated to 450 - oil pyrex baking pan

Cut potatoes by arranging 2 chopsticks on either side of the potato halves and slice thinly across {sticks will keep you from cutting through} creating a potato "fan"

Blend--Crumbs, cheese EVOO and seasonings in food pro. Set aside on a shallow plate.

Drizzle with EVOO

Bend to seperate sections and roll in crumb mixture. Arrange in baking dish. Bake covered for 1/2 hr. Remove covering and continue to bake for additional 15 min. until potatoes are done and crispy on top.

This is my first time making this, looking at the measurments I will make more of the bread mixture and add a clove of garlic {cause EVERYTHING is better with garlic} and really pack the stuffing in between the slices.

Quorn fillet sandwiches with brown sauce. Totally addicted to trying quorn lately.

 

[Alix]

I just looked up quorn. Its fake meat? What does it taste like?

 

[kezlehan]

Surprisingly a lot like meat! I've tried the mince, which tastes exactly like beef mince to me when I did a spaghetti bolognese the other day, then yesterday I made a smoked paprika sauce and used the quorn bits which were like cut up chicken pieces, and it tasted like chicken to me! I've always wanted to be a vegetarian but just don't think I could do it. But this is a good alternative to meat, especially when we're finding it so expensive here, and quorn really helps with our budget. Of course it can't replace a good roast or something to me, but when we're really penny pinching, it gives us our "meat" fix.

 

[Alix]

I read that its quite popular in the UK. I don't think I've ever seen it here in Canada.

 

[babetoo]

big fresh spinach salad with mushrooms, artichoke hearts, and fresh strawberries. thin sliced purple onion would be good i think. one piece of garlic toast if calories allow.

I use a large wooden spoon to hold the potatoes for cutting. I never saw a recipe for Hasselback potatoes with bread crumbs before. I'll have to try that some time. I also use small to medium whole potatoes. Never heard of cutting them in half either.

 

[taxlady]

The plan for tonight is pork schnitzel, some sort of potato dish, Danish red cabbage.

 

[Zhizara]

Tacos today. I've got a little lettuce and tomato to use up.

 

[Steve Kroll]

Just me and DW tonight, so we'll probably have "breakfast for dinner"... omelets, oven roasted potatoes, and bacon.

 

[Vanilla Bean]

I love spinach salad, especially the way you're having it!

leftovers

 

[Dawgluver]

Leftovers here too.

 

[jabbur]

Hamburgers but haven't chosen sides yet. I have some bacon so I may fry some up for bacon cheeseburgers.

You use bacon to make a hamburger into a cheeseburger???


Just teasing.

 

[Andy M.]

Beef barley soup with mushrooms.

 

[Timothy]

Pot Pies! I just finished making my second set of pies. I did two the first time and they cooked a little unevenly, so this time, I did all four.

Two White Chili and two Beef and Potatoe!

This thing is too cool for words!

I used Puff Pastry this time for both top and bottom and had much better results.

 

[danbuter]

I think I'm going to make spaghetti. Haven't had it in a month or so.
