Teriyaki Beef Bowls/Sandwiches (#14 and #15)

No pictures because my camera DIED! But, this was delicious. And super simple. The kids LOVE teriyaki, and so do I.

All this required was tossing a beef roast in the crockpot, half a bottle of low sodium teriyaki sauce and a cup of water. I let it cook for 9 hours, and it feel apart. I had made a pot of rice in the CP the day before, so all I had to do was warm it up, top with some beef and carrots and we have DINNER. Everyone had seconds.

There was quite a bit left over since rice and carrots will fill you up. The next day we had the shredded beef on sandwich rolls with some sliced oranges for dinner. Leftover peas to go with it, and dinner was good. :-) The beef also covered lunch for me for 2 whole days. The $9 piece of beef made 12 meals. That is some good math if you ask me. Today I am trying again with a different Au Gratin potato recipe in the Crockpot. Wish me luck... this one should have photos... :-)

April was a Mess!

April was filled with frozen chicken nuggets, pizza rolls and so much more. (I am sure the kiddos were in HEAVEN!) But, I am back. I have figured that my Crockpot is a way to cook and still get my reading in. I am in the process of planning the ENTIRE remainder of May out for meals, and the ones from April that I will keep on my list are:

1) Chicken Tortilla Soup

2) Apple Coffee Cake

3) Baked Potato Soup

4) Chicken Parm

5) Orange Chicken

6) Honey Garlic Chicken, I made this - kids loved it, but did not use my CP.

The other recipes I am going to try this month are:

7)Asian Beef with Mandarin Oranges

8)Sloppy Joes

9)Sweet & Sour Chicken

10)Crock Potpie

11)Chicken & Rice

12)Lemon Chicken

In between, I will be playing with the idea of Spaghetti in the CP. I have not yet come up with one I like. And this is a staple dinner in my house. So, back to the drawing board. :-) Oh Happy May!.

So, my Crockpot April was interrupted by a series of 22 books so far. LOL, I only have 4 left and I will be back to blogging. As for my kids, they have 100% enjoyed a life of corndogs, mashed potatoes, frozen pizzas and corn. LOL.

Be back soon...
