Our Door Knock dinner from 2 nights ago?
1 big fat butterfly pork chop (slice paper thin) dried shiitake mushrooms (rehydrate), stir fry with ginger & garlic (serve over rice with scrambled eggs)
Red cabbage, red pepper, cilantro: asian slaw with sauce made from rice wine vinegar, oil, soy sauce, brown sugar, peanut butter, garlic & ginger.
Looks amazing! Reminds me I have some fresh asparagus I need to use.
Most of my meals are door knock dinners - I rarely follow recipes - I just read them for ideas then do my own thing.
One favorite creation is to grill a bunch of veggies, asparagus, sliced zuchinni, roma tomato halves, sliced portabellos....then chop them up, and toss with hot pasta and your favorite italian-type salad dressing - some grated parm and you are good to go!
