I took out 2 quart packs of good ground meat and will make some hamburger steaks, brown them off a bit and then add them to a rich mushroom/onion brown gravy to finish cooking.

Then make some creamy mashed potatoes and heat up some peas to go with it.

Comfort food, and easy to fix.

You could go freezer diving. I found 2 pork butts in the chest one from 2022, they still look good. So it's a smoke party Saturday.

I have had a steady diet of pulled pork items for lunch that I smoked on Monday and steaks for dinner. I am doing pulled pork pizza today.

Oh nice, I need to do pizza. The kids like tacos and nachos with it, I'll do that and make Cuban sandwiches.

I use bar-bq sauce instead of tomato and sprinkle boudin on top.

Odd, same here. Had gumbo earlier in the week (and for lunch yesterday), then red beans then made sloppy joes (Manwich) last night.
Think the wife is making shrimp Alfredo tonight. She does a great one.

Throw frozen bone in skin on chicken thighs in a Dutch oven with some olive oil and bake with the cover on at 350 for 50 mins.
Remove the chicken, put the Dutch oven on the stove over low heat and add flour to make a quick blonde roux.
Add a bottle of Buffalo sauce and whisk
Put chicken back in the Dutch oven and coat it
Put it back in the oven cover on for 20 mins
Take the cover off and broil it for 5 mins to crisp the top of the skin.

delicious

This is what we do for pretty much all weather events that shut the city down (hurricanes, ice, snow, etc.). It's a great way to work through the freezer every now and again.

I actually inventoried and cataloged the freezers today on a big notepad, and I was shocked at how much we have. We could eat for a month, easily, between frozen raw meats, frozen batch meals I've cooked over the past year, and misc. "freezer foods" from Trader Joes/Billy's/Cannatella/etc.

I could easily go a month too.. lots of wild game and things I bought on sale to freeze.


I made a venison chili a few nights ago.

I made ‘birria’ in the crock pot today. Roast with onion and mushroom, garlic powder, chili powder, cumin, salt, pepper and some canned enchilada sauce. It was pretty awesome.

My daughter made a Pasta Fagioli Soup! I had two bowls.
It was really good.
