Monday Marathon

Yesterday/Monday: Began the day by walking to the butcher shop for 5lbs of ground beef, 5 lbs of ground pork, 10 lbs of Milanesa res (beef sliced incredibly thin) and 2 plump chickens.  After walking home and changing clothes I went to HEB (drove, bummer) for 5lbs of bacon, 5 lbs of Italian sausage, 9 cans of tomato sauce and crushed tomatoes, 4 lbs onions, 1 large jar of pickles, and few other items needed.

The result by days end --

two roasted chickens, meat pulled from the bone -- (one protein 3 meals)

15 C of homemade chicken stock made from the bones of the roasted chickens (frozen 3 C portions)

45 roladens with bacon, pickle and onions (frozen 2 per bag with extra onions)

3 LARGE pots of ragu (still finishing their day 2 cooking today with a little more added tomato sauce; will freeze later for a bzillion meals.)

…and a batch of chocolate chip cookie in bar form.

It’s been quite a Monday marathon – and the larder is again well stocked.

What a fabulous day off.

Chicken Italiano

chickenThis one's for a busy when there's little time to cook ... or when it's 104 degrees out and you don't want to turn on the stove or oven.

Chicken Italiano
1 crock pot
1 bottle of Fat Free Italian Dressing
4 or 5 boneless, skinless chicken breasts  

Before work: Plug in and turn on crockpot (don't laugh...it doesn't work if you don't plug it in...don't ask!); place chicken breasts in crockpot; pour entire bottle of dressing over the chicken breasts; go to work.

After work:
Open a bag of salad, remove chicken from crock pot. Serve with a fresh green salad or a seasonal steamed veggie.    

Enjoy! 

It doesn't get much easier than this -- and talk about quick, easy, and low fat/low calorie -- save the extra time, energy and calories for ice cream...oops, I mean walking. 

For what it's worth...make a double batch and make chicken salad for lunch the next day, shred chicken and make enchiladas, or eat with your fingers for an evening protein snack at 125 cal.
