Pork sirloin cutlets
Steamed cauliflower florets
Butter beans

I marinated the pork cutlets as I would for a flank steak... teriyaki
sauce, crushed garlic, onion (I used dried minced as I didn't have an
onion), a sprinkling of ground ginger, some crushed dried thyme and a
dash of lemon juice. I browned the "cutlets" (which is merely another
name for pork loin chops, sans bone) in a skillet. Poured the marinade
over them. Covered and simmered on low heat, about an hour. They
weren't all of even thickness so I shifted them around a bit and added a
little water when the sauce started to cook way down. Simmered until
fork tender. Yum!

I thought about making rice (due to the gravy aspect) but really didn't
feel like making it. Besides which, I had rice with dinner on Friday at
Ruby Tuesday's after picking John up at the airport. The cauliflower
and butter beans worked nicely.

If you can find Margaret Holmes brand canned butter beans (and if you
*like* butter beans), please do give them a try:

I buy them at the dollar store for about $.50 per can. They're very tasty.

That was our delicious, albeit unconventional, Easter dinner.

Sounds good except for that plain old blah cauliflower.

Speaking of nontraditional... I made up a "thing" with many kinds
of mushrooms (my daughter having decided that mushrooms deserve to
be a food group), egg, and a bit of tofu topped with unagi.
Strawberry-rhubarb for dessert. Not good. Should have stuck with
my usual pie/crisp, albeit a lower-carb (or LC) version. No, the
unagi is not LC. I told my daughter she had to take all of the
orts. (Today was mostly veggies, some chicken, cheese, a bit of
fruit for me.)
