Beef Stew Day Two

The only thing better than beef stew is leftover beef stew. The meal tastes even better the second day, and there’s no chopping, peeling, slicing or dicing to do!

Beef Stew

Tonight’s dinner will be beef stew. This will fill the house with a lovely aroma all day, as it simmers slowly.

Tips: To fill out the meal, we could add a salad next time.

Pork Chops With Apples and Pears

Tonight’s dinner is pork chops, slowly pan cooked with apples, pears, and a bit of onion. Side dishes are boiled potatoes and wax beans. Delicious comfort food for a cool evening.

Tips: Maybe a coloured vegetable next time, to brighten up the plate a bit.

Quesadillas

Tonight’s supper will be quick and easy to make, and is a family favourite — quesadillas. They’ll all have shredded Tex-Mex cheese, with optional chicken and peppers. On the side, we’ll have guacamole, salsa, and tossed salad. Yummy!

Baked Pork Ribs

Fish With Lemon

Dinner tonight will be poached fish (sole, I think), with lemon. Side dishes will be rice with mushrooms, and steamed vegetables. It might not look exactly like the plate shown here, but it should be delicious.

Easter Dinner

Today is Easter, so we’ll go to Mom and Dad’s for dinner. I’m not sure what we’ll be eating, but the best part is getting together with the family. Maybe there’ll be chocolate!

Pasta With Steak Strips

Tonight we’ll have pasta with a simple sauce and strips of leftover rib eye steak.
To prepare it, cook the pasta according to package directions, then drain well.
Toss drained pasta with one raw egg, until egg is cooked, then mix in 1/4 cup of parmesan cheese.
Stir in strips of steak and season with salt and pepper.
