midweek dinner, sorted

and the scramble to Halloween

Welcome to the mid-week dinner, sorted! So glad you’re here.

I cannot believe it is nearly the end of October. As usual, we’ve left halloween costumes to the last minute and will now be running around last minute trying to come up with something. I fear we have set the bar too high, our first couple costume was Steve Jobs and an apple and we have yet to top it. I must also include an honorable mention for my top solo costume of Elizabeth Holmes too (I won 2 virtual costume contests with this bad boy 😜 and it was the easiest costume ever).

So far we’re thinking: secret lives of mormon wives, Pensatucky from Orange is the new black, or something to do with the Matrix. But I think we can do better. If anyone has any good couple costume ideas for a bald guy and a pale brunette lady, please let me know in the comments 🙏 . Bonus points if we can include Reggie.

Anyways back to the food, here’s this week’s recipes!

this week’s menu

turkey pizza sub with giardiniera (recipe is in the caption): growing up my go to order at Mr. Sub was a pizza sub, sub turkey with pickles and lettuce. I still think that combo slaps but I’ve since elevated it a smidge with fancy seasoned lettuce and giardinera instead of pickles. Don’t sleep on this combo.

chorizo and potato tacos with homemade salsa verde: a “cozy” taco recipe perfect for fall. The salsa verde is actually surprisingly easy to make, as long as you can find tomatillos. You can also sub in jarred, or any hot sauce/salsa you please.
