On Thursday I had the day off, so I made a double batch of spaghetti sauce.
I only cooked a single batch (16 oz) of noodles though. That came out to be 1 gallon bag of sauce for the kids and I, and 5 quart bags of sauce+noodles for the husband. 2 meals for the husband, and 1 meal for me when I work a late shift.
Friday, I made a pot roast in my slow cooker.
3lb beef shoulder roast.
6-8 small red potatoes, halved
1 lb baby carrots
2-3 stalks of celery, diced
1/2 onion, diced
1 can beef broth
3 cups water
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
2 TBS minced garlic
1 TBS celery salt
2 TBS parsley
Combine beef broth, water, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic in slow cooker.
put roast in.
top with onion, celery, potatoes, carrots, celery salt, and parsley- in that order.
Cook on low for 8 hrs.
This fed the kids and I. Plus I had 2 quart bags of meat+veggies (1 meal each) for the husband.
Monday we had chick fil a cause I had shit to do after work and didn't feel like cooking. I was supposed to make tuna noodle, but that obviously didn't happen.
So Tuesday, I made tuna noodle. A double batch, in my extra large stock pot.
2- 12 oz. bags egg noodles
5- 10 3/4 oz cans of cream mushroom soup
5- 5 oz cans of chunk light tuna
16 oz frozen peas (optional)
Fill stock pot 3/4 full of water, boil. Add noodles and peas. cook for 8-10 mins.
Strain noodles. Combine soup and tuna in pot, heat on low and stir until well blended.
Add noodles/peas back to pot and stir well!
It's that easy.
This fed the kids and I, plus I had 4 heavy quart bags (hopefully 4 meals) for the husband.
Wednesday morning, before heading off to work, I put a whole chicken in the slow cooker.
I layered it this way :
Whole chicken and 1 cup of broth on the bottom.
6 medium sized red potatoes- quartered.
1 lb of baby carrots
then I topped the whole lot of it with:
2 TBS of minced garlic
a layer of minced onion
a layer of celery salt
a bit of black pepper
cooked on low for 8-10 hrs.
that chicken fell apart!
It made a good meal for the kids and I that night, and the rest went into soup for Thursday. That recipe is a post of it's own! Stay tuned!!
