I just finished cooking for a couple more days at the lodge. Typically, I don’t cook lunch. My routine is a big brunch, appetizers, and dinner. So, it was a bit of a challenge, to gear myself to lunch. I had to scale down breakfast, and pretty much cook non-stop!
Lunch on the first day was chili, sausages, hot dogs, sauerkraut, German Potato Salad (recipe below), and Panettone Bread Pudding for dessert. I fixed the sauerkraut like I do for Reuben Rolls, only I add the sauce ingredients to the kraut. The potato salad is so delicious, and easy to make.
Lunch on the second day was a meal that I’ll use a lot there. It wasn’t too heavy, and a great combination of flavors – everyone loved it. I made pork tenderloin like I usually do, and had garam masala rice, and Green Bean and Tomato Salad for sides. I just looked back, and realize I’ve never posted the pork tenderloin recipe, I use all the time, so I’ll do that soon.
Great potato salad recipe anytime, but especially when you don't want to worry about mayonnaise, because it might be sitting out for a while.
