Two-Week Cooking Project: My Progress

August 24, 2010

I decided to take advantage of a quiet house yesterday, and I tackled my Two-Week Cooking Project.  I have everything in the freezer and can breathe a sigh of relief, knowing that I don’t have to stress over what’s for dinner each evening.

I ran into a little snafu with my Sesame Beef recipe. I couldn’t find flank steak at Kroger. I asked one of the meat department staff members if she had any, and she went into the back to check. They had it… for $7.99/pound. I don’t think so.

Needless to say, we’re NOT doing the Sesame Beef this time around! I opted for grilling pork chops instead. It was less expensive, tastes just as good, and is cooked by my Grill King Hubby.  What more could a girl ask for?

I also learned that the Kroger enchilada sauce is pretty spicy. I ended up having to dump it and get the more expensive name brand sauce. I would rather throw out two cans of sauce than a whole casserole that’s too hot to eat!

The only thing I didn’t do was take a picture of everything after it was all put together. Oh well! Maybe next time.

So did you cook for two weeks? I would love to hear your stories too. Feel free to leave a comment to share it!
