I've been working off of leftovers the last couple of days - partly because I WANT to and partly because my budget requires it.
Anyhow, I think I mentioned that I made and froze two chicken pot pies...... still had chicken left (more later)
Yesterday I found a bottom round steak on sale at a ridiculous price. I cut off a small portion for dinner last night, marinated it and then grilled it. It was merely decent. I shoulda known that I've been spoiled by great cuts of steak and my palate is simply NOT gonna settle for 'grilled tough meat'.
I've cubed the rest of the steak (a bunch!) and am braising that right now. In a couple of hours, it'll be a great start to a beef stew or whatever else I wanna make of it.
Meanwhile, I'm trying to use up the last of the chicken (see earlier post). I saved just a bit of breast for a sandwich but will heat the rest with some of my leftover chicken gravy and serve that over rice. I've given up on mentioning all the spices I add to things. You know what spices YOU like (if not, EXPERIMENT! FIND OUT!!!). But the chicken is gonna make a GREAT meal tonight!
