I prep or cook the same foods for 6 day periods. This is one of them.

Make a pot of 3 pounds mashed potatoes. I use yukon gold.

Toss in 4 tablespoons olive oil. I prefer butter but use cheese later anyway.

Toss in about 6 cloves garlic finely minced.

Add enough buttermilk to make creamy as you work the masher into it.

Add kernels from two cobs of corn to taters. Stir gently. Refrigerate in large bowl.

Now, each day take some of the tater mix and put in a smaller bowl and add a bit of buttermilk to soften it up, not too much, just enough.

Add to the tater mix some finely cut up brocoli, an ounce of the cheese of your choice, a tablespoon or two of sauerkraut along with some tossed in carroway seeds before adding broiled and refrigerated pork or chicken breast pieces. Salt and pepper, cayenne. Put on plate and cover with paper towels and microwave for 3 minutes. Eat with a hunk of bread. I used toasted nan. Put some raw zuchini chunks around the mix if desired. They too cook down. The tater mixture does not overcook but the raw cut up brocoli and chunked zuchini cooks down and incorporates nicely.

This meal has no name as do most meals I make, but some are pretty darned good if I have to say so myself. I guess if I had to give it a name I'd call it "Cheap and Easy", like me.
