Monday Meat Day!

;) lol!! So funny!

I grew up with a grandfather who was a butcher and a farmer and I kid you not, it was against the rules to do anything but this. Therefore, we are very much a meat & potatoes family (now minus the potatoes). I think that made it easy to transition to my way of eating now. I add spices to chicken (which we didn't eat as kids, my father called it "yard bird"), fish, and occasionally pork. But, beef is supposed to stand on its own.

I'm making this Mocha Rubbed Pot Roast tonight. I'll report back...

This was yummy. I'd make it again.

I may be very weird, but I love the stuffing from my jalapeno stuffed peppers. It's basically Italian sausage, a little onion and garlic for seasoning and some cream cheese. It is so good. I made jalapeno stuffed peppers this weekend and my kids and I made short work of them! I must remember to make another pound of just the stuffing, so I don't have to mess with the jalapenos! (and hide it from the kids!)

Oooh, that sounds really tasty! I like shredded chicken with cream cheese and garlic, this sounds pretty similar. I'm going to try this soon, thanks!

And I laugh at the crazy list of excuses to keep eating the same fatty menu that made us morbidly obese pre op

Once again: fat doesn't make you obese, calories do.

You don't listen, but I'll keep saying it anyway.

I like a hamburger patty as cooking I salt and pepper each side as flipping ....couple times.... I also like A1 sauce and put some of that when cooking on each side ... gives a good flavor! I eat it without a bun like a salsbury steak!

I get the 85% lean premade fresh burgers.

Also love beef chili made with the MCCormick Chili Mix.... I use 2 packs because I like it spicy.... 1.20 to 1.40 ground beef. 2 cans diced tomatoes, tiny can sauce and 2 cans kidney beans... cooks up fast on stovetop .... like all Chili best days after...
