With the hubby's ketovore (mostly meat) eating style, I prefer to cook large batches of things. Fortunately for us, he does not mind eating meat leftovers. I usually only cook a couple days per week, but I might make 3 different things on a single day. Instead of the Costco rotisserie chickens, we've been buying the packages of pulled meat from them and have developed a number of ways of quickly turning the pre-cooked chicken into some pretty good dinners!
Today we are going to a local Lebanese social group fund raising dinner midday. Tonight or tomorrow I have quite a bit to cook, a thawed pork roast (about 3 pounds) and planning on a big batch of Joe's Special (ground beef with mushrooms, spinach, eggs and parmesan).
I'm lucky that he likes hearing me sew, yesterday was as much sewing as I've done in a couple years. Sometimes I wish I had more demands on my time other than quilting (ok, mostly I'm fine with limited demands). Now that we've moved I have no family and just new acquaintances not quite in the friend category. One of the neighbors down the street sent up some of nachos stuff she had prepared for trick or treaters -- with the cold snap bringing temps down and Halloween being on a Tuesday she had lots of things prepared but less than half the expected trick or treaters. I was taught to return dishes with something in them, took me a bit but I think the savory version (add small can of Ortega Chilis and cheese) of the Jiffy Mix Corn Casserole would be a good return dish. Just got back from the store with the ingredients and plan on that adding to my cooking chores tomorrow.
