There’s not much going on this week other than my menu plan is a little aggressive considering I’m feeling pretty miserable.
Here’s to me keeping hope alive and not darting to the nearest Chipotle.
Monday: Frittata
Tuesday: KFC Fried Chicken or Chicken Nuggets
Wednesday: Leftovers
Thursday: Bacon, Egg, & Cheese low carb sandwich
Friday: Barbacoa Shredded Beef Tacos
Saturday: Leftovers
Sunday: Meatloaf, Green Bean Casserole and Macaroni & Cheese Muffins
Rookie Cook Tip: I love fatty, slow cooked meats. It’s fat that gives meat flavor. No amount of salt, broth, spices, or herbs can replace it. Since I trim very little fat from my meats prior to slow cooking, I end up with an untenable amount of fat remaining in the liquids produced by many of my dishes. The problem is unnoticeable if the meal is consumed right away as the fat is liquid. But once the dish is cooled, the fat solidifies and, well, it’s pretty disgusting.
So, this is what you have to do. Pour the stock into a separate bowl from your main dish and refrigerate it. Once it’s cooled, spoon off the fat that’s floated to the top of the container.

Plus an added bonus – almost without exception, your slow-cooked food will taste EVEN BETTER after it's had a chance to "rest" at least overnight. I always make soups, stews, chilis, etc., on the weekend, to be enjoyed later on in the week.
That's why I LOVE leftovers!
Great cooking tip! And I hope that you feel better soon!
Have an amazing week. Looks like there's going to be some good eating at your home this week!
Thanks! Just gotta muster up the strength to get in the kitchen.
Hi, I'm new here and I wonder if you bring lunch to work. If you do, I'd love to know your lunch menu. You are sassy and I like it.
Thank you. I absolutely do take my lunch to work. Since I always prepare several servings, my lunch menu, generally, consists of whatever is leftover from my dinners. Some of my coworkers admire my diligence in bringing my lunch to work. They'll even remark at how good my lunch looks/smells. When they do, I have to refrain from replying, "I know."
Hi there to all, how is everything, I think every one is getting more from
this web site, and your views are pleasant in support
of new people.
