I spent a good bit of yesterday cooking meals for Chad and Nicole to have when I'm gone. A pot of spaghetti sauce, meatballs and roast. In the picture, the roasts (two chuck roasts) were just browned but I pressure cooked them, will leave it all in the fridge overnight, skim off the fat, make gravy, then divide it into meal size portions and put it in the freezer. There should be three ...

Refried Beans
For those who requested my refried beans recipe . . I don't follow a recipe but here's what I do. I use pinto beans because that's what the Mexican restaurant here uses and those are the beans Addie loves. You can use black beans or probably most any beans you want to use. I probably use half of a one pound bag of beans. Wash and clean the beans. I don't soak them overnight but you can if ...
Dinner Tonight
I didn't take a picture and I wish I had because it was pretty and delicious! The meat is very thin, browns quickly in hot olive oil and tasted like a thin steak though it was ground beef and ground pork. This is the recipe: Mexican Meat Patties It would be a pretty decent keto meal if you leave off the corn and serve it with chopped onions, cilantro, jalapeno peppers and a few chopped ...
Granny’s Refried Beans
When I told Addie that I could make the beans she loves so much, she didn't believe me so when I picked her up at school today, I told her the beans were waiting for and she had to do a taste test. Her after school snack was refried beans. She was shocked that they were so good. She wouldn't say they were better than the restaurant beans but she said they were "equal". It's a whole lot ...
Mexican Meat Patties
Addie loves the refried beans at the Mexican restaurant here in town. When we go there, she's always begging everyone for their beans so when she and I went yesterday, I got her an extra side order of beans. I told her we could make them at home. She is skeptical. They may not taste exactly like the beans at the restaurant. I think mine are better but different may not work for her but we're ...
Pressure Cooker Chop Suey
This morning I wasn't sure what I was going to fix for dinner so I went to the Pressure Cooking Today website and found a recipe for American Chop Suey that looked good. Definitely not a keto meal but something they would all eat. Chad is a bit picky and Addie is terribly picky. Chad said he really liked it. Addie had two servings of beans and chop suey. Addie is at the age and quite a ...
