Cow Share

My husband signed up for a cow share with about 5 people total.  A farmer met them all and they took turns picking packages of beef.  It was a really great experience and buying a 1/5th of a cow and storing it in the average person's freezer is doable.  I've heard from people who buy 1/2 a cow that you need a lot of storage for all that meat.  This is our haul.  There are some beef bones, ground beef, two roasts, cubed beef, and a steak.  I have the steak thawed for dinner tonight.  Both of the roasted have already been cooked and several of the ground beef packages have been used too.

Thanksgiving Leftovers

What did everyone do with their turkey leftovers? We roasted a turkey breast Friday night. We carved the meat off the bone and made turkey stock with the bones and some vegetables overnight. Saturday I made turkey pot pie and my husband made turkey noodle soup.

Trader Joes Orange Chicken

People are always asking what everyone likes to buy at Trader Joes. Last night we used the orange chicken in a new way. We cooked the chicken and sauce following the instructions on the bag but we used the chicken to top a salad. I bought romain lettuce, a red bell pepper, green onions, and Ken's asian sesame dressing. Then I sprinkled some sunflower seeds and red pepper flakes on top of my chicken. It was pretty similar to Pei Wei spicy chicken salad. I felt a little better about eating the batter covered chicken on top of a salad :) try it sometime.
