Cook-at-Home Challenge: What’s for dinner?

Leave a reply

I will meal-plan for you this month!

Hopefully you got to read a bit about our upcoming Cook-at-Home Challenge introduced in our last newsletter. I know there are so many of our readers that have said, “I want to eat more healthily, I just don’t feel that I have the time to devote to cooking, and even if I did, I don’t know WHAT to cook!”

I can totally relate. Sometimes I ask my family, “What do you want for dinner?” And when they don’t respond with answers like “pizza” or “fried chicken,” then they say, “Whatever,” or “I don’t know.” 

I don’t know anybody who got full on I Don’t Know. Sometimes what I really want is someone to just tell me what to make, and I’ll make it! (Well… except for things like fried chicken and pizza, ha!) 

If this sounds like your life… I have great news for you. I’m ready to be that person that says, “Hey, here’s what you should make for dinner.” (I’m the first-born child and only girl among my siblings, so I’ve got Bossy down! 😉 )

I want to make it easy for you to get healthy meals on the table. Not only healthy, but delicious. Not only healthy and delicious, but affordable. Not only healthy, delicious, and affordable, but EASY. 

Ready?

Here’s what’s on the menu:

  • Slow-Cooker Roast Chicken with Veggies
  • Homemade Chili
  • Slow-Cooker Beef Chuck Roast with Veggies
  • Oven-Roasted Drumsticks with Homemade Mac-n-Cheese & Steamed Veggies
  • Slow-Cooker Pulled Pork with Veggies
  • Deliciously Moist Meatloaf with Homemade Mashed Taters & Steamed Veggies
  • Slow-Cooker Roast Chicken with Veggies (again!)
  • Pan-fried Pork Chops with Homemade Mac-n-Cheese & Steamed Veggies

 

Pictured above is a super-simple dish of slow-cooker beef chuck roast with veggies. You can just toss it all in the crock-pot early in the day, and come home to a delicious home-cooked meal, hot and ready to serve.

I chose this collection of recipes for their simplicity, ability to fill the belly and please the palate, and frugal selection of ingredients. Even the least experienced cook should do well with the teaching-style recipes. No more powdered cheese mix. No more seasoning packets. No more cans of cream-of-chemical soup. 

 

You can do this. Let me get you started! Join us for the Cook-at-Home Challenge in February. We’ll be making our monthly delivery rounds in Tyler and Shreveport this week, and Marshall and Longview next week. I hope to see you there!

Farm life is lots of things. Most folks know and reaffirm to us, “Farm life is so busy!” Yep! 100%!

It’s also very cyclical. Certain things happen alongside the seasons, and it really is so interesting to witness the ebb and flow from year to year. Sometimes we change things to better mesh with seasonal changes. And sometimes we find a groove that we really like, and we try to stick… ... Continue reading
