so I complained about my cooking being interrupted....well that is not the case today. I have made three meals today and may tackle at least more before days end. I think this new found motivation started last night. I roasted a chicken with potatoes and veggies (asparagus, zucchini and onions). It was a tasty dinner and made me want to cook more.
The bad thing...I went to the grocery store hungry which everyone knows you are never supposed to do. The bright side...I was inspired. I bought pork tenderloin, chicken and ground beef. When I got home I skinned the chicken and trimmed it of fat.... then made a tandoori marinade. My chicken is bathing is this yogurty goodness and we will be having the dish for dinner tomorrow night with some steamed rice.
I made some yummy looking meatballs from one pound of the beef (froze the other pound) and made a pot of homemade spaghetti sauce using a few short-ribs I had in the freezer. The meatballs have not been cooked, not sure if I am going to fry them (yum) or baked them in some sauce(also yum).
The pork I cut into bite sized pieces and made a marinade using olive oil, garlic, cumin, oregano, salt, lime zest and juice. there is two pounds of this but I going to use the same marinade for both pounds so they have been frozen together. I will make one pound by frying it and serving with steamed rice and black beans. the second pound I will use to make tacos.
I am so excited to have so many yummy meals ready and waiting for my family to enjoy. I will post the recipes and update as to what I do when each meal is eaten....maybe I will make some changes.
