My major kitchen accomplishment last week was canning peaches. These are so good!
A couple of months ago, I bought 20 pounds of chicken leg quarters, cut them up, and cooked them in bbq sauce. After cooling, I froze them in meal size bags. I have been enjoying the convenience of pulling those bags from the freezer. Just thaw and heat. Love it! Last week, I served it with crispy potato rounds from the store freezer, corn. and homemade applesauce from the pantry.
About 2 weeks ago, I ground a lot of venison meat in the food processor. I cooked it, and froze it. All I have to do is thaw and add to what ever I want. In this case, spaghetti sauce.
A favorite meal here is venison roast in the slow cooker. In this instance, I cooked it with carrots, and served it with rice. Which didn’t make the picture.
I went shopping at Aldi’s a week ago for school supplies. So of course I did some food shopping while there. I got some of their brand Italian Chicken Sausage to try. It was pretty good.
I served it with homemade mac and cheese, and peas.
A new family favorite is homemade trail mix. I bought a store bought mix a few times, but the family didn’t like it the way it was. It’s much easier to make my own, then try to find several different bags to meet my family’s likes. And it tastes better, too! At least we think so. In the batch below, I used honey roasted peanuts requested by my daughter, cashews, M & M’s, and in the container on the right, raisins.
For a snack during the opening night of the Olympics, I served cheese and salami. Extra sharp Cheddar cheese, Colby Jack, some salami stuff that I don’t eat, and multi grain crackers.
Not what I was planning on serving for the 1st night of the Olympics. I always try to serve food from the country that is hosting the Olympics that year. I can’t find my Not Just Tacos cookbook though!
I need to hurry up & find it so I can make some Brazilian recipes before the Olympics are over!
