Greek marinated pork tenderloin, Greek stuffed peppers, turkey taco rice skillet and make ahead lasagna
I think I love fall most of all. I found these sweet little mushrooms in the woods, and the colourful leaves on the trees just make my heart happy. What a beautiful season.
In the kitchen, I'm back to making what I consider comfort foods, but still keeping things simple. Enjoy!
On the menu September 27 - October 3, 2020:
Sunday Leftovers / takeout
Monday Leftovers / takeout
Tuesday Greek Marinated Pork Tenderloin
I really like this pork tenderloin, although I used less salt in the marinade than the recipe calls for. I know the grated cucumber seems like an odd marinade ingredient, but trust me, it works. I marinated the pork about 8 hours and cooked it for almost an hour (we like our pork well done). The Greek salad was a perfect accompaniment.
Wednesday Greek Stuffed Peppers
These stuffed peppers are one of my favourite vegetarian dishes. They are amazing! I know we just had Greek last night, but I was just in the mood. Your whole family is going to love these.
Thursday Leftovers / Eat Out / Takeout
Friday Turkey Taco Rice Skillet
This!! Quick, tasty and uses everyday ingredients... What's not to love? We ate this topped with all of our favourite taco toppings - shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, diced avocado, and sour cream, but as the author writes, it would be great inside a flour tortilla as a burrito filling, or nacho topping. So versatile and simply delicious.
Saturday Make Ahead Lasagna with Caesar salad and garlic bread
This lasagna was really tasty, but honestly, I think my family prefers my version (see Week 6 - 2020 for the recipe). If you like sausage and a basic lasagna (with no added veggies), this will be a hit, though. I used a combination of Italian sausage and ground beef from Trick's Creek Farm. We found the lasagna a little on the dry side (likely because it was made ahead), but it had very good flavour and went really well with the Caesar salad and garlic bread. The make-ahead aspect was awesome, though, and I plan to try that with my own recipe.
