Easy Mondays use Salad and Frozen Leftovers

​Re-play tasty morsels....I get accused of not having a sense of proposrtion but I do like great food that has a rerun! I had lots of onions and yellow bell peppers a week ago and sauted them for a vaoriet of purposes and a great dish was simple pork loin chops and I cooked the whole package with 5 poritions then we ate 2 and I froze the othter three in two portions. Today's meal was a pork loin chope with the most amazing a ju sauce created from the meat, spices and onion/pepper mixture. I cubed it, ssauted one medium approximately .66# yam cubed; when the yam was just done I tossed the meat veggie mixture to just warm, then served it over spaghetti noodels. I don't know if I mentioned but somehow I over bough spaghetti noodels, we really don't have it that often. This meal was a late lunck served with fresh lemonade.

Easy dinner....a blast from the past. Ever eat at a diner or a retro place and they have wedge of iceberg lettuce on the menu? Yes, that was a think all through the 50s, 60s and even today. simplist salad every, classically it is approximately a 6th or 4th of a head of lettuce served on a plate with or without garnish with thousand island dressing over the top. I made a clean out the fridge thousand island inspired dressing from 2/3rds cup non-fat greek yogurt, 1/4 cup mayo, 2-3 tbs olive  tapenade, a dash of hot sauce mostly for color not flavor and a scant teaspoon  of sweet pickle relish. For serving options I added a little more protein and fiber with black/white bean salad and crackers with cheese. Dinner in under 15 minutes.
