Cooking With Sale Items & A Stockpile (Pt.4 & Final?)
Woo-Hoo! Here it is. The actual menu list!
Here are 11 meals that we have recently eaten by combining our random sale items & the items we have stockpiled. Our (semi-picky, but not too bad) family of 6 enjoyed them all. :)
(If you missed post #3 in this series, it lists our "random sale items" for a couple of weeks. It'll explain why we used which fresh ingredients we used.)
1) We had Mediterranean Night with grilled chicken thighs marinated in oregano, garlic & lemon juice. I made a Lebanese cabbage salad using the cabbage & lemon juice. We threw it all together with pita, hummus & tabouleh. The girls begged to eat that way more often. We felt full, but healthy. (Next time, we'll have some couscous from my stockpile.)
2) We cooked a whole chicken in the pressure cooker with the carrots, onions & lemons. I cooked some rice from my stockpile. This process also made a ton of delicious chicken stock that I froze into small portions for later u…

This is a new favorite for Mike and me. It's cheap, easy and yummy! Extremely cheap if you only have 2 people to feed, but I think it's reasonable for any size group. You can also use 1/2 chicken breast per person to make it less expensive.
ReplyDelete2 large Russet potatoes
1 large (or 2 small) heads of broccoli
2 chicken breasts, cubed and cooked
1 jar alfredo sauce
I'm sure this goes without saying, but bake the potatoes, split 'em open, then add salt and pepper, the cooked chicken, broccoli (after steaming it) and I usually use 1/4 jar of alfredo on each potato, so one jar should cover a family of 4. Enoy!!
