Monday
- instant pot chile verde
- I used hatch chiles from Trader Joes instead of the poblanos + anaheims
- It needed more liquid so I added 1 cup of broth to the chiles before pureeing
- I think it could have gone for an extra 5-10 minutes to get the pork super tender
- cheese quesadillas for the kids

- broiled salmon with mayo/mustard sauce - from cookbook "Keepers". the sauce wasn't my favorite but I love the way they tell you to cook fish in the book:
- preheat your broiler for 10 minutes
- put a cast iron skillet under the broiler so your fish will be 4-6 inches from heat
- heat skillet for 5 minutes (should be smoking)
- prepare your fish while skillet heats by rubbing with olive oil and whatever seasoning you like. we like blackened seasoning or salt, pepper and dill
- carefully pull hot skillet from oven, add fish to skillet, topped with a bit of butter and put back under the broiler for 3-5 minutes depending on thickness of fish.
- roasted asparagus with lemon
- rice
Monday
- posole with chicken - my mom had recommended this recipe, but I think I'm going to add in a couple of poblano peppers to keep it mild
- toppings: sliced cabbage, radishes, avocado
- cheese quesadillas for the kids
