It is really hard to write this menu because I am suffering from acute tonsillitis that makes swallowing food and drink painful. Hopefully the antibiotics prescribed by my doctor will start working soon and allow me to enjoy this week’s meals.
Monday – spaghetti with homemade meatballs, salad
Tuesday – toad in the hole with homemade sausage, peas
Wednesday – cornbread crust veggie pot pie
Thursday – homemade pizza
Friday – fish, quinoa, green beans
Saturday – dinner with Ohio 4-H International County Coordinator Team
Sunday – hosting Alex’s parents – french onion soup with swiss cheese croutons, cranberry sauce
Curious about toad in the hole I’ve never heard of it. Thanks for your comment at the Land of B, we’re psyched to start charcuterie. Glad to know someone else who has done it, we’re kind of nervous about hanging raw meat in our basement. I’ve been debating with myself to roll the pancetta or do it flat, tesa style. Flat seems safer and easier for a beginner but rolled seems more authentic. I’m only concerned since we’re new at it and I hate to waste it if it went bad.
Toad in the hole is sausages baked in a popover batter. I’ve never made it but it sounds delicious.
We always hang pancetta flat because it’s easier and safer.
Yum! I think we will hang it flat also, thanks for the affirmation on that. Do you just use the basement or a modified fridge or something. Not sure how to ensure proper humidity but the temp in our basement should be good.
How do you make a corn bread crust for your pot pie? Would love a recipe, please
