Meals of the Week, August 11th - August 17th, 2024
Hi everyone! Here we are, another Sunday, another Meals of the Week post! Every Sunday I like to share with you, my dear readers, my meals of the week. Everything delicious that I have cooked and or eaten for my main meals over the past seven days!
Because I live on my own, feeding myself can be somewhat of a challenge unless I am having company over for a meal. The temptation can be there to eat frozen dinners or takeaways. I don’t want to be that person.
Meals like this are a part of the reason I don’t want to be a person that eats frozen dinners. I did try one one day. I fell to temptation. (Not this week) Look at the difference between the photo on the cover and the meal that was actually in it. There is no comparison. It was decidedly inedible. I did taste it, but it was yucky. In fact I would call it disgusting.
These ready meals are usually loaded with fat, sugar and salt. Not things I really want to be eating, and . . . they are always disappointing. They never look like the pictures on the box. I have never yet found one that I actually enjoyed. So no frozen dinners for me.
So the only alternative is to cook for myself. Its cheaper, healthier and I enjoy the food a lot more. I do eat out twice a week. Usually I have Sunday Dinners at my sister’s, always a delicious home-cooked meal and on Wednesday nights we have dinner out with our Father. It makes him happy to have us there and we enjoy being together. It is always at a family style restaurant locally. Not like a fast food place. Generally speaking the food is quite good. It can be a bit hit and miss at times, but you quickly learn what to order and what not to order.
Anyways, the rest of the week I cook my own meals and I try to make them interesting and budget friendly. I also always try to keep them varied so that I am not always eating the same things. This week was my birthday and so I did treat myself a little bit on the day and repeated something which I had really enjoyed from the week before.
In any case here are my Meals of the week for this the third week of August. Do let me know in the comments what you think!
SUNDAY, August 11th - Family Dinner at my sister’s
On Sunday my sister had a Birthday Celebration for me at her place. My brother in law was actually going to be working on my birthday so she wanted to do it while he was there! I didn’t mind. She cooked a lovely pot roast supper, with biscuits and all the trimmings and then for dessert she had bought a whole Double Chocolate Fudge LaRocca Cake! That was the piece de resistance. I love that cake. We all do, except for maybe my dad. In any case everything was delicious, but the best thing of all was being with my family.
I am sharing my recipe for Instant Pot Pot Roast with you for this day. Its really good. The meat always comes out tender and delicious and the gravy is also fabulous!
MONDAY, August 12th – Angel Chicken Rice
I had some leftover chicken to use from having cooked two chickens for my food video on YouTube. It was on how to spatchcock a chicken and then I showed how to prepare it for roasting. It went very well and the chicken was delicious. You can watch that video here on Marie Cooks Up A New Life.
Anyways, I had lots of leftover chicken. I froze the bones, etc. for making soup at a later date and I used some of the chicken for this recipe here for Angel Chicken Rice. A simple and delicious casserole with leftover cooked rice and chicken and a few other bits. Its really tasty and very simple to make.
