I've been cooking up a storm this month. I don't think that Brendan and I have gone out to eat during the week for all of January. I truly do love cooking, it's just a matter of getting into a routine, planning ahead, and utilizing left-overs.
I have used the crockpot quite a bit, which has made meal time very easy. I never know exactly when Brendan will get home from work and I have been taking evening classes at the gym. Coming home at 8pm and having dinner ready is warm and inviting! I tend to just play with ingredients and see how it turns out. If I've used a specific recipe, I'll link to it. If anyone is interested in more specifics from anything below, just let me know!
A few things I've made:
 |
| Chicken sausage, sauerkraut, tiny potatoes, and Brussels sprouts in the crockpot |
 |
| Buffalo-style chicken breasts |
 |
| Blue cheese ranch cole slaw to go with buffalo chicken |
 |
| Which turned into shredded beef, black beans, and salsa over cornbread |
|

Cooking always makes me feel very accomplished and is relaxing for me, so I've been loving all the homemade meals lately! Besides, I love leftovers. Any leftover meat is great on a salad or with sauteed veggies. All of these can be paired with any type of grain for a well-rounded meal.
What have you been cooking this winter?
