We spent this morning swimming at Lake Anza (second time this week - i highly recommend it if you have not been yet). After a brief nap in the car on the way home, the afternoon was spent at a child's birthday party. Needless to say the afternoon was spent consuming juice boxes, chocolates from the pinata and cup cakes. Not a good foundation for getting them excited for dinner.
When we got home Philip suggested (and I was very tempted) throwing some Irish sausages in the oven and let that be dinner. Trust me, I wanted to, but its only day 2!
So garlic miso pork chops it was. I made the arugula salad for Philip and I and for the kids I steamed some edamame and also made mash. I did a mix of one sweet potato and one regular potato since it was all I had. Also, I used red miso instead of white miso.
The pork chops were super simple to make and the whole dinner was 30 minutes from start to the table.
The verdicts?
Me: I loved the chops and would definitely make it again.
Philip: thumbs up
Sofia: Tried and sort of liked the mash, ate lots of edamame (not new) and had one bite of pork.
Jack: A few bites of pork and few tastes of mash, no edamame.
Liam: Nothing, nada, zilch.
At sticker time, Liam was again mad. Philip finally got him to try 1 edemame (he ate it along with a chocolate covered raisin!).
