Menus for the Week

Grocery shopping is done, and there were some good meat buys this week. I bought two boneless pork roasts ($1.99 lb.) and had one cut into 1/2 inch chops, and the other left whole for a roast. From the sliced roast, I packaged and froze 16 pork chops, which is 5 meals for us (Jeff eats two, I eat one). Also on sale were bone-in chicken breasts and chicken thighs at .99 a pound. My favorite hot dogs, Hebrew National, were on sale, as well as ham steaks. Because of the salt content, we don't eat much ham, but I thought a steak would be nice with macaroni and cheese, and we'd have a portion leftover to have diced up in omelettes or scrambled eggs for breakfast.

If you notice the link to the Pork Chops with Peaches and Couscous, you'll find a new blog of mine - TEACHING MY DAUGHTER TO COOK. The title is self-explanatory! Cooking 101 for my daughter - whom I forgot to teach to cook! It's a fairly new blog, but I'll be adding tried and true family recipes each week. This week I will probably add the Baked Haddock recipe, since she recently posted on FaceBook that she has no idea how to cook fish. Sigh sigh sigh. What was I thinking?!?
