Linguine with meat sauce

I took a bit of a shortcut for supper tonight. The spaghetti sauce came from a jar. There, I've confessed, and now on to the rest of the supper. Tonight's daily plate features whole wheat linguine topped with jarred spicy tomato sauce and 96/4 lean ground beef.

This supper was super quick to make. I fried up the ground beef with onions, garlic and other seasonings a couple of days ago, when I made the Swedish meatballs. So, all that had to be done tonight was cook the linguine, warm up the meat and tomato sauce and combine them together. Oh, and I put on homemade 1/2 whole wheat French bread in the bread machine and let it rise this afternoon. I baked it while preparing the remainder of the meal so it came out of the oven piping hot just when the linguine was done. It was a quick and satisfying supper!

Adobo Pork Loin Chops

     Tonight's Daily Plate features adobo pork loin chops grilled along with Cajun spiced fresh zucchini from my garden. Watermelon completes the entree for a fresh, spicy summer meal.   Adobo Pork Loin Chops      The zucchini was marinated in olive oil, lime juice, honey, salt and Cajun seasoning. When grilled, it blackened slightly, adding a nice grilled flavor. The zucchini was not a favorite with most of the family, but I personally thought it was delicious. Of course, most of the family thinks vegetables are limited to potatoes, English peas and broccoli.

Finally, I had a serving of simple potato crowns for a bit of crunch. A quick, simple but delicious meal.
