What Are We Eating For 2014 ..

Today (Friday) will be food shopping day..

Even though it is still snowing like anything, I MUST do some food shopping in the town 30 kms away...
Running low on veggies ...
 

Tonight I made B/S chicken thighs in a honey garlic sauce..

Steamed cauliflower and red onions...

Breakfast: omelette with chives and grated cheese..
 

Sounds great Mirabilis, nothing like fresh fish! Tonight we had a big salad with organic baby spinach, sweet onions, red peppers, cucumbers, celery, tomatoes, broccoli, croutons. I had homemade salad dressing with mayo, chives, parsley, pepper, Italian seasoning, dried onion and wine vinegar...hubby had Catalina dressing, and balsamic vinegar.
 
The shopping day on Friday was (to say the least) interesting..
They had chicken on BIG special and I bought soooo much, my freezer is filled to capacity with:
Thighs skin & bone in
B/S thighs
B/S breasts (large ones)
Breasts skin & bone in
Drumsticks
Legs
Minced in 450g packages

All have been packaged in zip lock freezer bags, dated, in portions for 2....
Those large breasts are one per bag......
They were all in larger trays that is why it was cheap.. Quantity buying .......
 
Supper tonight (Saturday) was a stir fry in the wok..
Chicken breast cut into cubes and marinated in a honey-garlic sauce for a few hours..
Onions, garlic, broccoli, mushrooms, red pepper, zucchini, and snow peas were the veggies I added.....
NO LEFTOVERS !!!
 
That sounds good Steve! I agree, buying in bulk and freezing is a good way to save money, and there's always something on hand at home to prepare. Tonight we had Santola King Crab legs with hot butter, cocktail sauce, and French bread.
 
Obviously for tomorrow supper, it will be (of course) CHICKEN of some sort..

Perhaps I will open up the freezer door and take the package that is on the extreme right front, regardless what it is......
It will be chicken of some sort, (for sure) and I can work and create something around that....
 
The package of chicken turned out to be drumsticks..
It was the closest to the right and in front..

I will BBQ them outside..

I also am steaming a small turnip that I will smash, add butter, 2 eggs, caraway seeds, scraped carrot, and some frozen peas.. I will put the mixture in a loaf pan and bake it @ 375 till the top is golden.. Voila...... the veggie to go with my BBQ drums....
 
Last night, I used a package of minced chicken and I made a casserole with a ton of veggies...
It was OK but nothing fantastic.. Perhaps a bit more spices and HERBS would've made the dish more flavourful..
Mind you, we ate it and finished it all.................


For tonight (Tuesday), again I have NO idea what to make..

I was thinking of some cod I bought last week to make a change from chicken....
A piece of fish would be kind of nice..
 
The fish was OK but I find that fish doesn't fill you up as much as meat (chicken) does for the same quantity.. It takes a BIG piece of fish to satisfy your hunger....

I made the cauliflower thing that looks and tastes like mashed potatoes, with sour cream....


For tonight (Wednesday) I am thinking of thighs skin & bone in seared in a skillet and then cooked in wine on low.. We seem to like that way of cooking thighs and it is very tasty..
 
For tonight (Saturday) I am looking at making chicken burgers on the BBQ..
One pound (450g) of minced chicken thawed and I will add some spices and herbs and make 4 nice patties...

A salad will go nicely with that...

Breakfast: omelette with herbs and caramelized onions
 
I took out 2 large chicken breasts B/S...
What to do with them is another challenge..

I can make one into a lovely stir fry for tonight and keep the other for tomorrow night.. Pound it thin, bread it, and fry it in the skillet....

Actually I will do the opposite and have the stir fry tomorrow....
 
For tonight (Wednesday) I took out of the freezer a 450g package of minced chicken that will end up being a meatloaf for supper....
As far as veggies goes, how about the steamed cauliflower, smashed, and sour cream and herbs added.. Looks and tastes like mashed spuds, except better and healthier.........

Breakfast: omelette with some grated cheese and some chives...

Lunch: Must you ask ???????????
 
Supper tonight (Friday) was a lovely piece of fish cooked to perfection with herbs in the skillet..
Steamed broccoli with sesame seeds and garlic butter..
 
For tomorrow, it will be a stew in the slow cooker..
I have some stewing meat that I will sear first and then cook in white wine for several hours and than add a ton of veggies....

That should be for 2 days......

Breakfast: omelette with green onions..
 
TONIGHT ????
Absolutely NO idea what to have...
Everything is frozen in the freezer and I have nothing out for supper tonight...

Obviously I have to make something... My freezer is full of all kinds of chicken as well as other meats and fish.......

Any suggestions ??????????
 
Last night we had homemade hamburgers on Crustini rolls with sweet onion, tomato and mayo. Tonight was Alaskan King Crab legs, with hot butter, cocktail sauce, French bread and Foster's beer.
 
Tonight (Thursday) I made chicken burgers on the BBQ..
I used some spices and herbs and it turned out pretty good as we ate the whole thing..

Steamed carrot sticks with broccoli..

Breakfast was an omelette with fresh parsley and cheese..
Lunch: As usual, nothing !!!!
 
For tonight (Friday) I am thinking of some chicken thighs skin & bone in seared in a skillet and then cooked for a while in white wine till the meat falls off the bone.....

A turnip casserole will go well with that.....
For dessert, diet jello and a pot of tea.....

Breakfast: Omelette of some sort
 
Today was food shopping day..
We came home with nothing out for supper, so I quickly made a piece of fish from frozen..
It was very good..
I made a sauce to go with it as a dip..

Steamed butternut squash with green onions on the side...

Breakfast was an omelette with mushrooms and chives...
 
Last night (Monday) I made a stir fry in the wok for supper.. I used B/S chicken thighs cut up into bite size pieces and marinated for several hours in a honey-garlic sauce..

I added garlic, onions, celery, mushrooms, orange pepper, zucchini and loads of broccoli to the sauce in the wok.............

WOW !!! What a great meal it turned out to be ...
