I'm thinking lentil soup for lunch and lemon chicken with potatoes for dinner...unless the chicken doesn't defrost in time. In which case we will have eggs for dinner lol

Last night I made Pioneer Woman's Herb Roasted Whole Chicken, stuffing and corn. Tonight we're having burgers, hot dogs and baked fries (kids request).

For brunch (combined breakfast/lunch today since it was easier that way) we had homemade egg mcmuffins... whole wheat english muffins, with cheddar cheese, fried eggs and chicken sausage. Also a bunch of different fruits- blueberries, blackberries and bananas.

I am going to make a cranberry almond tart soon.

And for dinner I will be making chicken wonton & bok choy soup. It takes like 2+ hours to make so I save it for days when I am snowed in and have the time because it takes so long!! Plus it's so cold, warm soup is nice after shoveling.

Sure. This is my favorite recipe for a dutch oven. Absolutely delicious. A little time consuming but so worth it. Comes from Cook's Illustrated/America's Test Kitchen.

Simple Perfect Pot Roast

Ingredients:
1 boneless chuck roast (about 3 1/2 lbs)
salt and pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 small carrot, chopped
1 small celery rib, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons sugar
1 cup canned low sodium beef broth
1 cup low sodium chicken broth
1 sprig fresh thyme
1-1 1/2 cup water
1/4 cup dry red wine

Directions
-Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 300°F.
-Thoroughly pat roast dry with paper towels; sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.
-Heat oil in large heavy-bottomed Dutch oven over medium high heat and brown roast thoroughly on all sides, reducing heat if fat begins to smoke, 8- 10 minutes.
-Transfer roast to a large plate; set aside.

-Reduce heat to medium; add onion, carrot, and celery to pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to brown, 6- 8 minutes.

-Add garlic and sugar; cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Add chicken and beef broths and thyme, scraping bottom of pan with wooden spoon to loosen browned bits.

Return roast and any accumulated juices to pot; add enough water to come halfway up sides of roast.

Bring liquid to simmer over medium heat, then cover tightly and transfer pot to oven.

Cook, turning roast every 30 minutes until fully tender and meat fork slips in and out of meat very easily (3 1/2- 4 hours).

Transfer roast to carving board, tent with foil to keep warm. Allow liquid in pot to settle about 5 minutes, then use wide spoon to skim fat off surface; discard thyme sprig.

Boil over high heat until reduced to about 1 1/2 cups, about 8 minutes.
Add red wine and reduce again to 1 1/2 cups, about 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Cut meat into 1/2 inch slices, or pull apart in pieces; transfer meat to warmed serving platter and pour about 1/2 cup sauce over meat. Serve, passing remaining sauce.

Chat Icon Just figured out what I'm doing with my roast tomorrow night!

Tonight nothing exciting, probably pesto baked chicken. Maybe some kind of risotto on the side to have something less boring lol. I do know we have the makings if brownie sundaes for dessert!
