Dinner Decisions
Do you ever get tired of planning out your dinner every night? You constantly have to run to the market to pick up a few more things that you need. Does it seem that you never really end your day on a relaxing note because you just go, go, go all the time? I have a perfect solution for you then. I was watching a cooking show about just this thing, and the best thing to do is make a big weekly meal.
This may sound harder than it really is when you think about how much food your family eats in one week. I was surprised at how simple it really was to create and plan an entire weeks worth of meals around one kind of food. What you do is cook a really large piece of meat such as a roast. You use the left over roast to create four meals for the rest of the week. I will show you an example menu for a weeks worth of meals from one roast.
Day One: Roast cooked with vegetables and gravy
Day Two: Slice the extra roast and make smothered sandwiches and French fries.
Day Three: Break apart some of the roast and add BBQ sauce. Place on top of a baked potato to make loaded baked potatoes for everyone.
Day Four: Take the roast and gravy and simply add noodles to make Beef Stroganoff.
Day Five: Shred the last of the meat and add a packet of taco seasoning for soft tacos.
This technique is really simple and allows you know exactly what you are going to have for dinner every night with no extra planning needed. You can do this with other kinds of meat as well. You just want to make sure that you start with enough to make it through out the week
