What's for Dinner, Thurs., Sept. 23, 2021

[NJCher]

Egglant roll-ups filled with spinach and goat cheese.

I tried to make this the other night, but had to abandon my plans because the spinach wasn't up to par IMO. I had cut it from the garden late in the day and while it was "all right," it wasn't exceptional. I knew I had better leaves to choose from, so I put what I'd done away to continue it when I had better spinach.

This is a kind of spinach that's ok to grow in the summer heat, however, it does get better as the season cools off.

Last night I picked the spinach so I can finish the dish tonight.

Dessert: don't know. Will post back when I decide.

1. How do you keep the rollups from getting soggy as the eggplant exudes its moisture?

2. Tomato feta bake with zoodles. Nectarines for desert.

3. beans and weenies

sliced tomatoes

dessert: a slice of homemade chocolate cake (made yesterday)





Just checked outside to see if I could get any more tomatoes out of my garden--not likely. But...


There's eggplant out there!!! I had given up on it.

4. Braised pork chops and veggies

Pork chops (from Butcher Box) are extra thick so I sliced them horizontally and made a double batch.
Potatoes, carrots, onions, and peas, seasoned with a little rosemary and thyme. The gravy should be exceptional.
