Breakfast - February 24, 2013
This was a sweeter meal than I usually have, but pretty good for a change. I found the recipe here: Sweet Cinnamon Banana Crunch
I think it would've been really good with some chopped nuts, too. May try it another time.

Lunch - February 22, 2013
Today's lunch was a last-minute purchase. I had to go to the store for a few things and found that I had some bonus points for a discount on angus chuck roast. So, I couldn't pass that up.
I rubbed it in butter and sprinkled it with Trader Joe's 21 spice mixture (love that!)
Broiled it on low for 20 minutes on both sides and done!
My mom took half for her lunch, so this was mine. So good and juicy! I'm stuffed.

Onion-roasted Ribs Recipe
I found the original recipe here: Caveman Cuisine's Roasted Beef Ribs
I followed the recipe for the most part. Although, I don't cook with wine, so I used water for the sauce. I would've used bone broth, but I forgot to thaw some out! I cooked in a cast iron skillet. And, we had 4 ribs each, rather than the 2 in the recipe.
This turned out so darn good! The sauce was the clincher! We also had banana with almond butter, and milk.

Dinner - February 18, 2013
So, my mom really likes her NuWave oven. I still don't. She wants to cook everything in it! So far, the only thing I think turned out alright was the Cornish game hens last night. Everything else is either raw inside or tough and dry.
Tonight we had a really nicely marbled beef chuck roast. With Trader Joe's Dukkah spice blend rubbed on it.
It may look really good. And, the flavor was good ... but, tough and dry ... I ate half, though. It was huge! I will have the other half tomorrow. Drowned in butter!

Breakfast - February 18, 2013
I bought this unusual artisan sausage from my local co-op a few weeks ago and it's been waiting in the freezer for me to remember it's there! So, last night I moved it to the fridge to thaw out overnight. This is what I had this morning for my rarely eaten breakfast:
Buffalo Cranberry Sausage
Pastured Eggs, sprinkled with Trader Joe's 21 Seasoning mix and Chipotle pepper flakes
Fried in Bacon Grease!
I cut the sausage down the middle to cook more thoroughly.
So good!

Lunches and Dinners - February 17, 2013
I have been lax in posting these this week! I took the pictures and they've just been languishing on my desktop! So, here are some of this week's lunches and dinners!
February 13 - Lunch
This salami is so good. It is not overly spicy, but just right. I actually had 5 slices and 5 crackers.
February 16 - Lunch
The same salami, but on Mestemacher whole rye and almond bread with lots of butter. So yum!
February 17 - Dinner
Tonight's dinner was so good! Cornish game hen with Trader Joe's Dukkah nut & spice blend! I love that blend! Ate half the bird; will have the rest for lunch tomorrow. We also had dates stuffed with Bellwether Farms Créme Fraiche and pecans. Mmmmm.

Vinegar Oven Cleaner Recipe
I found this recipe for cleaning your oven without harsh poisons: Make Your Own Inexpensive Natural Oven Cleaner
So, I'm giving it a try on our nasty oven and broiler. I love using the broiler, but it was starting to 'smoke', it had gotten so filthy!
Following the directions, I got together all the ingredients.
1 Tablespoon Dr. Bronner's liquid Peppermint Castile Soap
1 1/2 cup baking soda
2-4 drops lavender essential oil (you can use any scent you like, or none at all)
1/4 cup organic white vinegar (you can also use apple cider vinegar)
Water, as needed to make a “paintable” but thick paste
Mixed them in a bowl, and used a basting brush to 'paint' the oven! Looks messy, doesn't it! ;)
I'll let all of that set for a few hours before wiping it off. Hopefully, it will all be sparkly!
~~~~~
Well, I think it worked pretty well since the oven and broiler were so filthy to begin with. I left most of it overnight. It may take a couple more pastings to get the oven door and the shelves really clean, though. And, there are still a few areas on the broiler pan to work on. But, I am happy with it. I'll use this recipe again.

Lemon/Vinegar Cleaner Recipe
There are so many things you can do with lemons and vinegar. They are both great for cleaning things. Together, they clean nearly everything! I found this article, which had some great recipes. Here is a similar article using orange peels.
I've been saving up lemon peels (with a few Clementine peels) for a month in the freezer to have enough to fill a gallon jar. Then, poured about 2/3 gallon of white vinegar over them. I will let them sit for about 2 weeks before straining out the citrus peels. The resulting liquid will be stored in an empty vinegar jug as refills for the spray bottle.
