Since on day one I broke out steaks and cube sandwiches, I knew exactly what we were going to eat: cube sandwiches.
George, my super-duper cooking boyfriend, once again make the cube steaks exactly the way I like them: pepper, salt and garlic. Amazing how often we use that combination to get meat the way we like it. We’re garlic people for sure.
While we always have bread on hand, we rarely have buns. Every now and then we get smart and put our extra buns in the freezer for future use, but buns are one thing we are not good at saving. They sit out with every intention of getting used, but in the end they sit out too long and we end up throwing them away.
Bread it was.
The side also was easy. Hashbrowns.
I am not a hashbrown fan. I have to be in the right mood to eat them. They remind me of soggy messes and, while I’m not a hashbrown fan, I also am not a soggy fan. This worked itself out because I was not very hungry. George had hashbrowns and I decided to forgo the side dish.
Our complete meal consisted of two cube steaks, four pieces of bread, a piece of cheese for George’s sandwich, ranch to dip the sandwiches in and hashbrowns with cheese. George likes cheese. We each had a soda to drink.
Day two was super easy.
After I realized this I began thinking George and I may be going about it the wrong way.
We’re eating things we always eat, the things I buy every week. I think part of it was when I got into my steak mood. I told myself I was going to put the spontaneous eating on the back burner but I’m not doing a very good job of it.
I know there are things in my freezer that I want to get rid of. There are some pot pies I made that have been in the freezer too long. I know we won’t eat them once it gets warm out. Those need to go.
There also is a whole chicken that, while nice to have, won’t get used because it takes a whole day to thaw. That is my goal, to get rid of the chicken. Then there’s the turkey broth I mentioned in my first post. We had such grandiose plans of using it and saving money. This week it’s going to happen.
A whole chicken is too much to eat in one day and in a normal week what to do with leftovers is constantly on my mind. I think we might have a couple of leftover meals from the chicken. Since I have turkey broth in the freezer and I’m going to have extra chicken to get rid of, I’m thinking chicken soup. Anyone have any good recipes or other ideas for my soon-to-be leftover chicken?
