Wednesday Wanderings...

It's about 2 AM and I'm wide awake. I got to sleep at about 11 but had a nightmare and was awakened by it a bit ago. So here I am, checking email and such and hoping to get back to sleep soon.

Last night I cooked two more beef roasts in the pressure cooker. This time I dumped one package of brown gravy mix, a package of onion soup mix, and about 3/4 cup of Country Bob's All Purpose Sauce into a 4 cup measuring cup and added enough water to make 2 cups of liquid.

I brought it to pressure and cooked it for 15 minutes, then used the quick release and added a bag of frozen green beans, some carrots and potatoes, and set the PC for another 12 minutes. When it was finished, I used slow release and the resulting beef roast is so very tender and very delicious!

The meat, vegetables, and juice were divided into 2 large freezer bags and I got a small freezer bag of just sauce and vegetables. All of it went into the freezer to be used in the future. I'll use part of it for stew, part to be served over rice, some will be used in a crockpot beef pie, etc. Those two roasts should provide us with at least 12 meals.

Tuesday night dinner was a #9 from Long John Silver's. I didn't get off until 6 and Rod wanted to go out for fish so we did. Ehh, it wasn't frugal or healthy but it sure was good!

Today is a day off for and I got the laundry done yesterday so today I'm going to rest. Dinner will be leftover cheesy chicken pulled from the freezer and used to make chicken and rice that we'll have with a salad and green beans. Yum!

Terrific Tuesday & tonight's dinner

So far this has been a great Tuesday. Since I don't have to go to work until 2, I slept in until a little after 8. That's rare for me and it was sooo nice! I got up, did a little cleaning, checked email, set the beef roast out to defrost, and am going to head out in just a few minutes to do laundry before going to work. While I'm out I might pick up a few fresh vegetables since we're running very low.

We don't have a garden this year, unfortunately. There's not really space for one but we are going to put three or four tomato plants in pots. If all we can grow is those wonderful tasty tomatoes that will work, though we would prefer to grow much more. As they say, though...if wishes were horses, beggars would ride.

Anyway, tonight's dinner is Beef Quesadillas made from last week's leftover beef roast, low carb tortillas, a mix of several grated cheeses, roma tomatoes, and some plain yogurt mixed with sour cream. We'll have them with a salad if I get the vegetables while I'm out. I get off work at 6 so it might be a late dinner but it should be great.

Okay, I'm off to do laundry then head to work...
