So long, Saturday

Today, I made:
  • peach custards for breakfast
  • leftover chicken pot pie for my lunch
  • Catalina Roast for supper

The custards actually baked with the sweet potatoes last night, and I re-warmed them in the toaster oven this morning. I used a recipe from MDC as a guide. I wasn't terribly impressed with the way these came out - they seemed pretty bland. And I think they would have been better fresh.

I nearly forgot to put together the Catalina Roast from KerryAnn's TF MenuMailer this morning - as I rushed out the door, I grabbed a frozen chuck roast, chopped carrots, onions, potatoes, celery, parsnips, and turnips, and whipped up KerryAnn's sauce. The roast was frozen solid, and would not conform to my slowcooker...so on to plan B...which was to find a roasting pan large enough for the chuck...which was at my parents house since we're trying to de-clutter prior to listing the house...so on to plan C...which was to stuff as much into my smaller roasting pan as possible and cover the whole thing with foil.

That worked.

So I popped it into the oven at 200 degrees and jumped in the car, 30 minutes late.

The kids were at Grandma & Grandpa's for lunch, so I scrounged the last of the chicken pot pie (DH was at a meeting).

The roast was nice and tender when I got home from picking up the kids. I chopped the remaining meat and added it to the broth/vegetables that were left. We'll eat that for supper tomorrow over some brown rice. I put the bones/gristle in the slowcooker with a little apple cider vinegar and filled to the top with water.

I ate a cup of Sundrops after supper. Ugh. But I'm too tired to care now. I must finish up our bathroom -but first I think I'll lie down in the living room and let the kids race their cars on my back. :)

Tomorrow is another busy day. We'll eat:

  • leftover pancakes and fresh bone broth for breakfast
  • leftover taco stuff for lunch
  • leftover roast etc for supper

AND NO SUNDROPS!!
