Saturday Night Special
Saturday night's dinner menu:
Grandma's (somebody else's Grandma) Pork Chops
Mashed potato cheese and chive gratin
Minted sugar snap peas
Peanut butter chocolate shakes
Here are the recipes:
I used Simply Orange o.j. instead of squeezing oranges. I didn't have a lemon, so skipped it. Very tasty.

Only had 1/2 the cream cheese on hand, 1% milk, and spring onions instead of chives. Still yumma.

The mint really mellows when it hits the heat. These were good.

The mint in that pea recipe reminds me how much I like the recipe below. I wrote it down while watching The Naked Chef several years ago and haven't been able to find the "real" one online, but this works for me. I've made it quite a few times. I need to make this soon since I have mint on hand:
Squash and Zuchinni Crostini from Jamie Oliver
1 c. sliced pattypan squash
2 zuchinni, cut in qtrs and sliced
1 garlic glove, chopped
1/4 c. finely chopped mint
pinch of salt and pepper
Saute' the above in olive oil until softened, about 10 minutes, smashing it up a bit as it's cooking. When finished, squeeze the juice from half a lemon on top. Place in a serving bowl and sprinkle with feta cheese. Serve with toasted ciabatta bread.
