When you roast chicken thighs with the bone in and skin on the result is a much more flavorful meal. This recipe calls for adobo seasoning and pico de gallo so it has a Spanish flavor, but using different combination of seasonings and toppings you can achieve a wide variety of flavors.

Red Fork Beef Stew
As soon as I get a chance to post my photos of the actual food, I will. Hopefully by this weekend. We are using a pot roast slow cooker sauce to make stew. The main difference is using cut up beef instead of the whole slab that you then have to slice before serving. I like the stew better because the meat takes on more of the flavor of the sauce.
5-Minute Power Breakfast
I’ve been making coffee cup eggs for years but I recently decided to amp it up with some spinach. That way I could start getting my daily servings of veggies right from the get-go. Plus all that protein keeps me full until my mid-morning snack 3 hours later.

people
|
- 1 package Red Fork Pot Roast Slow Cooker Sauce
- 2.5-3 pounds Chuck roast
- 1 cups water or beef or vegetable broth
- 1 cup red wine or water; omit if using slow cooker
- 1 pound baby carrots
- 1 pound parsnips or potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Ingredients
|
- Chop beef into stew size (large bite size). Turn oven on to 350F to preheat.
- Preheat dutch oven (or large frying pan if using slow cooker) on the stove on high heat. Add olive oil and brown beef for 5 minutes. Do this in batches so you're not crowding the meat. Add more oil by the teaspoon if needed.
- Cook in dutch oven in oven at 350F for 2.5 hours, or in slow cooker for 7 hours on low.
- Scrub and chop parsnips into large pieces. Add parsnips and carrots to the pot half-way through cooking time.
- Test meat after time suggested -- it should be falling apart. If not, leave in a little longer (20-30 minutes).

Weeknight Chicken + Avocado Lettuce Wraps
Serves: 2-4 people

I grabbed this recipe out of one of those BH&G special issues that you find at the supermarket checkout stand. It’s pretty true to the original but we are using leftover chicken instead of making it from scratch. Since the chicken is a leftover from the fridge it helps to take it out and leave it on the counter for about an hour before serving so it isn’t so cold. Sometimes I’ll even zap it in the microwave for 30 seconds before putting it on the salad. Continue reading “Weeknight Chicken + Avocado Lettuce Wraps”
