October 23rd: creamy mashed potatoes with caramelized onions and cinnamon-apple pork

Verdict:
Already keepers: potatoes & onions, pork

Saturday night's supper came from our keeper book and included two of our favourite recipes. The first one could convert potato-haters and/or onion-haters in your household: from October 2004's Chatelaine: Creamy mashed potatoes with caramelized onions. These are rich potatoes smothered in sweet rich onions. As you can see by the picture below, the potatoes are glaringly white, due to the abundance of cream cheese mixed in with them.

To accompany the yummy taters I made another keeper: from January 2003's Chatelaine: Cinnamon-apple pork medallions. Pork + apple juice + whipping cream = sweet rich goodness. Delicious. Olivia was most excited when she saw me opening the can of apple juice and received an affirmative answer to the question of whether she could have some to drink. Watered-down apple juice to drink with supper is a real treat in her world.

Feeling like we should have something simple to go along with all the richness, I dug around the fridge and found some old carrots to toss on the side.
