Because I am cooking for only two people, I cook in bulk and freeze most of the food. Every few days, we take a few items out of the freezer to thaw in the fridge, and then we reheat the food in the microwave. I use Pyrex glass dishes with a plastic lid. The glass pyrex containers are oven-safe, freezer-safe, mircowave-safe, and dishwasher-safe. These are similar to what I use: Pyrex glass cookware
I love them!
Here is what I made today...
Taco Meat
I used two pounds of ground sirloin (90% lean/10% fat) and two packets of taco seasoning. I prefer to use lean ground beef (93% lean/7% fat) but Publix was out of it today.
Laughing Cow Chicken
I used two pounds of boneless skinless chicken breasts. In the original package, this was only 3 HUGE chicken breasts. I asked the butcher to slice eat one horizontally to make them thinner, and I ended up with 6 pieces. I pound each piece to make it even thinner. Top with one piece of ham, and a piece of laughing cow light swiss cheese. Roll up and secure with a toothpick. Sprinkle top with Shake N Bake. Bake at 400 degrees for 35 to 45 minutes.
Potato Soup
I used four pounds of red potatoes, cut into 1/2 inch pieces. This is the general recipe that I used, although I put approx one pound of potatoes in the food processor after they are cooked, and then add them back to the pot. This will help to thicken the soup. I also add canadian bacon.
Weight Watchers Moroccon Stew
This is from Holly's Winter Stew post.
Pork Tenderloin
I cooked two pounds of pork tenderloin in three separate containers. Each one was rubbed in EVOO and then I add sliced garlic into slits in the top of the tenderloin. I bake in the oven until the temperature reaches 150 degrees.
Whew, I think that's it. What a day! Now I can rest and watch the rest of the Rose Bowl.
