Beef Roast (I tried a cut that is new to me- tip roast?) with a dry rub of seasonings on it
Twice baked potatoes- I normally use sour cream but I was out so I used cream cheese, cheddar cheese, salt and pepper. . .
I used the left over beef to make a delicious veggie beef soup. I added onion, frozen mixed veggies, onion soup mix, can of tomatoes, broth, potatoes, and spices. Served it with a homemade pizza- only put sauce, olive oil and mozzerella on the pizza. . .
"pasta bake"- spaghetti sauce (store bought but I add my goodies to it- ground beef, garlic, onion, spices and let it simmer for a few hours), elbow pasta, shredded cheese- baked together until bubbly.

A couple of nights ago I discovered a great simple and tasty low carb meal while watching the food network. Perfect for 1 or more people! So I thought I'd share. I found this to be a fantastic way to prepare white fish (btw, the cook claimed this is the only way her husband would eat fish!!). Season the fish to your liking, dip it into some scrambled egg mixture, and fry in olive oil just like that!! The fish came out nice and crispy and tasty!! I paired it up with some wilted spinach with garlic.
Also recommended was to add a white wine, lemon juice, capers, and olive oil mixture to the fish for the last 5 min of frying. I did that to half the fish just to try it, and that came out great as well....however the fish was even good without the sauce.

Then I took the remainder of the mustard/milk mixture and added a little honey and some more mustard to get a sauce, which I then drizzled on top of the chicken breasts. | Quote:

It was tasty & better than if I'd done just the pasta alone. It only took about 30 minutes total & DH acted as if I'd made a feast. | Quote:

They come out great it is a whole meal. I bet your soup will be great! | Quote:

I place the pork chops on the bottom of a baking dish. Then I core some apples (usually one for every pork chop) and peel a strip of the skin around the side. Place the apples on top of the pork chops and stuff them with brown sugar. Put a pat of butter on top of each apple and bake.
The time depends on how thick the chops are. The part directly under the apple will take a couple extra minutes to cook.
I like to make mashed potatoes, then I make a gravy out of the juices from the pork chops and apples.
Like I said, not very healthy, but VERY yummy. |
