I've cooked this 3 times before

July 9

Crispy Tofu with Cashews and Blistered Snap Peas (Dinner)

Everyone liked it, it vanished in one sitting.

July 11

Meatloaf (Dinner)

Recipe from The Lost Kitchen Cookbook. My wife really likes it, but despite the glaze being ketchup AND sugar the kids weren't excited (and it's not my bag).

Tacos (Dinner)

Soft tortilla chorizo tacos for me - I sauteed the chorizo with potato, poblano, and onions.

July 12

Panko Pork Chops (Dinner)

With tomatoes, grilled bread and zucchini

Served tonkatsu style

I've cooked this 2 times before

Crispy Tofu with Cashews and Blistered Snap Peas (Dinner)

I thought it turned out a little better this time (having just made it), but no one really ate it except for me. Unfortunately, I had doubled it.

I've cooked this just once before
