Everyone is cooking and sharing recipes on Facebook. There aren’t enough meals in our day to make all the things I want to make! Oh, the strict diet that is coming to us when this virus threat is over! The scariest part of all – summer is coming and I’m going to have to stop wearing these big, floppy sweatpants.
While working on the 14 day menu I promised to post, I came across this recipe for Pioneer Woman’s Italian Pot Roast. Oh, it looks so yummy, I can almost smell it. I remembered seeing a can of artichoke hearts in the cabinet and a jar of roasted red peppers in the pantry. I don’t even know why I had those roasted red peppers but I’m thankful I had them. When making a chuck roast, I always make it the day ahead so it can stay in the fridge overnight and the grease will harden and can be scooped away. I see PW does the same thing so I’m cooking that for tomorrow.
Then a friend posted that she was making White Chicken Chili. I love that and it’s about to be too hot for those kinds of meals so we’re having that today.
One both of those are done, we’ll have lots of leftovers – chicken piccata, tomato soup, Italian Pot Roast and White Chicken Chili. That means . . if things go according to the plans, I will cook two meals today , then I won’t have to cook Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday! I’m quite sure there will be some baking – bread for sure, but otherwise, there’s lots of knitting time for me this week.

That pot roast looks GREAT! Would be great to have smellavision broadcast from your kitchen today, LOL.

My kitchen was a super busy place. The roast is in the fridge with the “juices” separate so the grease can rise to the top and harden. The chicken chili was awesome. I had enough to put a good size container in the freezer and still have enough left for another meal.

Since you like denser breads, have you tried some Irish soda bread? This is a good recipe and I use canadian bacon since I can’t find irish bacon. Hmm… may need to make this today.

I actually like yeast bread most of all. I make soda bread some but not often. Vince likes sourdough; I like yeast so those two are what I mostly make.
