Chef's Notes

For this Cypress, TX menu, I would start the week with Blackened Trout and Chicken Caesar Salad, keeping the croutons and dressing separate until serving. Ground Venison Rigatoni alla Vodka gives another meal its own base, without needing rice or potatoes alongside it. Rosemary Garlic Pork Tenderloin can pair with Cinnamon Baked Sweet Potato one evening and Wild Rice Pilaf with Dried Cherries, Pecans and Herbs another.

Read the full notes

I recommend reheating Ground Venison Rigatoni alla Vodka covered at 325°F for 20–25 minutes in a shallow oven-safe dish, checking that the center is hot. For a portion of Peach Pecan Cinnamon Cobbler, start with 12–15 minutes at 350°F, uncovered, and check whether the center is warm. Keep Chicken Caesar Salad cold and add its croutons after tossing so they retain their crunch.

Venison appears in two different forms here: Stuffed Garlic Venison Backstrap cut into slices that expose the filling, and Ground Venison Rigatoni alla Vodka coated in orange sauce. I like having both on the menu because they make different plates, even with the same main meat. Roasted Green Beans Almondine brings visible almond slices alongside the backstrap, while Garlic Roasted Broccoli & Carrots adds a vegetable side to the pasta.
