I'm trying to get back in the habit of cooking every day. Mary is a great cook, but hates to cook. I like to cook.

Yesterday I made oven fried chicken thighs with sliced potato wedges coated with Miracle Whip and Italian seasoned bread crumbs, a low fat recipe we got off of Dr. Oz. Mary said it was delicious.
Today I cut up 2 boneless chuck roasts we bought at Wal-Mart on manager's special into 5 small pieces, and froze four of them. I cut the remaining one into thin strips, then cut baby red potatoes, 2 carrots, a handful of red cabbage, half a red onion and red bell pepper.
I started with the electric fry pan at 300 degrees, 2 tablespoons of coconut oil, and cooked the chuck strips until the outsides were done.
I added the hard veggies, taters and carrots (next time I'll add the cabbage also) along with the seasonings (honey, soy sauce, salt less seasoning from Costco, and lightly salted) and cooked till the taters were done.
Last I added the soft veggies, including a bag of wilting salad that I carefully picked through, put the cover on and cooked for 5 more minutes.
Mary made a half gallon of tea, and we sat down had a delicious, nutritious, very inexpensive, and simple to prepare dinner. Again, Mary liked it.
To top it off, the leftover will go into a soup pan, I'll add some Wal-Mart Great Value White Corn and Black Bean Salsa, a little water, a teaspoon of taco seasoning, and make Miracle Salsa Soup.
