One highlight from last week's menu was the slow cooker Elk Stroganoff. It turned out really good and wasn't at all chewy like game can be sometimes. Seems the slow cooker is a way to get game to come out nice and tender.
OK, I'm sure everybody knew that but me. Sorry for stating the obvious. ;-)
For this last week in February, the budget's almost dry, so we're eating from the pantry except for buying a some produce and milk. And we've got company two nights. But we're going out another night, so it should all balance out.
This is when it's nice to have a pantry.
Monday- Tuna sandwiches on homemade bread, chips and carrots (youth night)
Tuesday- (company) green salad with cranberries, Vegetable Bisque, artisan bread, slow cooker Herbed Roast with carrots, garlic mashed potatoes, Chocolate Lava Cakes
Wednesday- Ham bone soup with beans (how's that for getting back to real life after Tuesday's company dinner?), salad and artisan bread
Thursday- (company) Slow cooker whole chicken with Basic Spice Rub, baked grated carrots, baked risotto, salad, cookies
Friday- dinner at son's school preview night
Saturday- Homemade pizza (or dinner at friends?)
Sunday- Pesto Pasta and vegetables
