One of the treasures that I brought home from Mother's house was a boxed of saved recipes, many of them in her handwriting. In there were also several I had sent her, in my own handwriting. Swapping recipes was something I loved to do, both with my mother and with my late MIL.
My mother and I both were a fan of eggplant, so in her honor, I am adding it to this weeks' menu. My mother was a good cook - very creative and frugal. She also loved fried okra, pecans in anything, roast pork, and a good lemon pie - I think of her every time I eat something she loved.
Monday - kitchen closed
Tuesday - Asian Peanut Butter Pork*, rice, broccoli {take Easter decor down}
Wednesday - Eggplant Casserole, salad {get some pre-house painting prep done on patio}
Thursday - Crock Pot Pork Ribs, orange baked sweet potatoes {payday, do bills, lunch out}
Friday - Chicken and Peppers, baked potato, corn
Saturday and Sunday - kitchen closed {outside repairs by painter in advance of painting}
*I put this together last week, then left the house without turning the crockpot on, so here's hoping I'll remember this time!
