I know that it has been a long time since I have blogged, but I am trying to get back into it.
What I have done this week:
For Sunday I made Italian Beef Sandwiches in my crock pot. To make this I put a rump roast, or other beef roast in the crock pot, add diced onions, a couple of bay leaves, beef broth, and Italian seasoning. I let this cook until it falls apart (about 10 hours). Once it if finished I "pull" it using forks. To serve I put the meat along with mozzarella cheese on a hoagie roll and place under the broiler until the cheese is hot and melted.
For Monday I took some of the left over beef and made stuffed baked potatoes. I washed and scrubbed 5 russet potatoes, then rubbed some olive oil and salt on them. I also pierced them with a knife. Baked the potatoes in a 400 degree oven for about 45 minutes. Once they were crispy on the outside and cooked inside I cut off the tops, scooped out the potato flesh, leaving the skin. I then mixed the potato flesh, some of the beef, butter, and a little bit of milk. Mixed it all together (like for mashed potatoes) and then stuffed back into the potato skins. Topped with Colby jack cheese. Put the potatoes back in the oven for about 5 minutes to melt the cheese.
Tuesday for dinner I made Greek chicken, couscous, and spinach. For the chicken I marinated my chicken breast in Greek vinaigrette dressing overnight. Sauteed the chicken in a skillet with a little bit of olive oil. For the couscous I followed the directions on the side of the box. The spinach was frozen and I cooked it in the microwave.
Wednesday we eat at our fellowship dinner at church.
Thursday I am making shepherds pie using the rest of the leftover beef. I will also use the leftover broth to make a gravy. Mix the beef and gravy together, top with mixed veggies and mashed potatoes and bake until hot and bubbly!!
