Meal Preparation and Breakdown:
First Night's Dinner: I pan-cooked a small package of pork chops, seasoning them with an all-purpose blend. To enhance the flavor, I added a few small onions to the pan, which also served to flavor the green beans later.
I opted to bake the corn and took the opportunity to roast the 4 small potatoes at the same time, which I'll use for a future meal, minimizing oven use.
In a small pot, I heated the drained green beans with a touch of butter and mixed in the cooked onions from the pork chop pan.
Dinner Menu:
Pork Chop
Ear of Corn
Green Beans with Sautéed Onions
Second Night's Dinner: We enjoyed the leftovers, which included:
A Pork Chop, optionally topped with Lemon Rosemary Pear Jam
Half an Ear of Corn per Person
A Small Baked Potato with Butter, Salt, and Pepper
The remaining two small potatoes were used in breakfast scrambles throughout the week.
