I took some meat out before we left to run errands, even though I had zero idea what I was actually going to do with it. Normally I try to do one side, some kind of bread, and a veggie—because apparently, I like to pretend I'm running a diner.
Before we headed home, we stopped at Walmart to grab a couple of things. While we were there, I made a last-minute decision to pick up garlic bread and a side I could just toss in the oven with the pork loin. I landed on cheesy tater tot casserole. It wasn't exactly what I expected, but it was decent—and hey, it's a good reminder to the kids that trying new things won’t kill them.
So tonight's dinner lineup: applewood bacon pork loin, garlic bread, green beans, and cheesy tater tot casserole.
Overall, not bad! She-child only ate the pork, which honestly didn’t shock me—I figured the sides were going to be a no-go from the start. He-child had me make him a plate and toss it in the microwave for later. Considering I caught him making a sausage biscuit at 5 p.m., I knew he wasn’t showing up hungry. And that’s fine—I know when to pick my battles, and this wasn’t the hill I was dying on.
So that was dinner at our place tonight. What hit the table at your house?

@thislittlepennyearns My dad had marinated the patty in something, which made it pretty tasty. Then I put on mustard and fresh tomatoes. It was really delicious.
