Done and Dusted

Wine Braised Pork Chops with Acorn Squash and Brussel Sprouts

The first meal drop of 2010 is done and dusted! It feels so good to be finished with the cooking and know that mom's food is on its way to her door.

We had several weather delays this time. Snow and ice prevented me and my brother from making the trip last week. Each day we had to delay was frustrating because I knew mom needed a new supply. Fortunately, my brother and sister live close by and could make sure she had plenty to eat in this kind of situation.

The delay forced a few menu changes. Here is the final menu that mom will receive today:

*Pea soup with bacon

*Carmelized onion, spinach, and cheese frittata

*Walnut cranberry chicken salad

Entrees

*Lemon garlic halibut/sweet potatoes/asparagus

*Steak Diane/mashed potatoes/broccoli w/cheese sauce

*Broiled chicken thighs/spinach/rice pilaf

*Wine braised Frenched pork chops with Apple and onion compote/acorn squash/brussel sprouts
