Pork Gouda Burgers

These were so good I have to make them again and soon!  Adam wanted burgers at the beach house so I took the ground pork out of the freezer and the rest of the ingredients were things I had.  Make these!  The caramelized onions with sriracha and lime blew my mind. Ingredients: 2 brioche bun 2 slices gouda cheese 1 sweet onion, sliced thinly.  You will need about 2 tablespoons minced onion. 2 cloves garlic, minced 2 limes, for juice and zest!  The recipe saids 1 lime, but I used 2 1 teaspoon sriracha 1/2 teaspoon paprika 2 tablespoons mayo 2 tablespoons sour cream 10 ounces ground pork 3/4 teaspoon sugar butter olive oil salt and pepper Melt butter in a pan, add thinly sliced onion, 1/4 teaspoon sugar, and a little salt.  Stir around the pan until soft and brown.  Do not let these burn!  Add a little touch of water if pan gets too hot.  This should take around 10 minutes.  Remove from heat and stir in a squeeze of lime juice and sriracha....

Sweet Thai Chili Pork

 People rave about this dish, but I thought it was just ok.  I probably wouldn't order it again.

Veal Parmesan

 I made the last of my Aldi veal cutlets.  So sad :(  we have to wait for another German or Italian week to find them again.  I had tons of fresh basil in the yard.  It struggled when the temps went over 100.  I'm hoping it rebounds and we can keep it going all summer.   You just have to pan fry these patties in some oil a few minutes each side.  We made our usual spaghetti sauce and noodles.  I bought the nice big ball of mozzarella cheese and cut it into slices.  When the veal is cooked through place it on a sprayed baking sheet, top with sauce, and cheese, and pop under the broiler until the cheese is nicely melted.  Then serve over the noodles and sauce.  Sprinkle of parmesan or basil and you are done!  It's really fast.  I highly recommend buying these veal patties.

Gangster Dogs

  There is now an Ellicott City location for gangster dogs.  It's by the Ritas at Frederick Road and St John's Lane.  I got the Chicago style dog and it was spicy and so good.  I'd get it again.  Adam said his mostly tasted of cheese and not chorizo.  For around $8 they are pricy, but a fun lunch option.

Hello Fresh Hot Honey Pizza

  We got out of work early Thursday because of lightning so I had time to make this!  You need at least an hour.  You have to proof the dough, roll it into two pizzas, proof again, add toppings and bake about 13 minutes.  This had almost the exact toppings I always put on pizza.  It was diced shallot, green pepper, and tomatoes, plus pepperoni.  Then use olive oil on the edges.  After baking drizzle hot honey and dip in ranch dressing.  The recipe was very good, but I already make my own pizzas for pretty cheap.  I'd probably not buy it again.

Chili lime chicken skewers

These skewers from Aldi are the bomb!  They take about 10 minutes in the air fryer.  Remember to flip them over once.  I sprinkled with tajin after cooking.  They skewers come in a package were each skewer is sealed.  You only open up the number you want.  10 in a package.  They lasted 3 meals for me.  The asparagus was also from Aldi!  It was awesome.  After the horrible Sams Club asparagus I guess I needed to give the veg another try.  My red skin mashed potatoes are not Aldi.  The potatoes were probably bought from Walmart.  This meal was so good.  I love Aldi sometimes!
