Menu Inspiration

I'm going to try a new type of entry here, called "Menu Inspirations." I hope to do this regularly, as it strikes me to share my family's menu choices with you. I may not include the recipes here for every dish. In fact, I probably won't. But, the idea is to possibly inspire you--in just a glance--to prepare something you might otherwise never try. For example (and simply put) today's menu includes freshly cut corn in tarragon butter. You may have lots of fresh corn on hand, but are tired of munching it off the cob, and from my menu description you can discern the main ingredients enough to try your own take on the dish. Of course, if anyone has any questions about my technique or the actual recipe I used, I'll be happy to share, as always.


So, tonight's Menu Inspiration is:

  • Roast Pork with a Brown-Sugar and Apple Glaze
  • Caramelized Onions 
  • Garlic Mashed Potatoes
  • Freshly-cut Corn in Tarragon Butter



Weather-wise, this dish made sense with temperatures in the low 70s and a nice breeze in the air. Plus, we had lots of new potatoes, garlic, red onions and sweet onions from our CSA share (which we love).
