I can eat them cooked though, so I do.<br /><br />Sorry you cannot eat beef - it is my favorite! Pork is my second favorite.<br /><br />Thank you - we are working hard!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02863887265545701157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4218568831965507385.post-73687321443287649202017-09-19T02:10:41.651-05:002017-09-19T02:10:41.651-05:00Since I am deathly allergic to all mammal products...Since I am deathly allergic to all mammal products, I just skipped to the chicken. I will eat fish but never plan to. <br /><br />I do eat a bit of pork and rarely have beef...like a little bit once a month. I keep the EPI pen handy. <br /><br />I can eat the same thing for days. And there is just me, so this would not work. Plus, I eat what is on sale and/or what I have frozen that was on sale. <br /><br />I cannot imagine having some meals only a few times a year. Spaghetti would be missed as would chicken dishes. I use a bit of ground pork and lots of zucchini in spaghetti...no beef.<br /><br />It is quite an impressive list.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14991571309786149363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4218568831965507385.post-21424481497659683072017-09-18T17:04:52.977-05:002017-09-18T17:04:52.977-05:00I have tried to cut down the size for just 4.

Sometimes the bigger cuts of beef or ham do have LOTS of leftovers, so we typically cut them up and create either another dish and just delete the next day or it is used over a couple of lunches. I truly believe this is better for families than couples. I know when my husband and I go for a weekend, we eat much differently - like 2 times a day, finishing earlier.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02863887265545701157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4218568831965507385.post-48975806997311556122017-09-18T16:44:02.402-05:002017-09-18T16:44:02.402-05:00I think this is a great idea, but with my hubbies ...I think this is a great idea, but with my hubbies comings and goings, it wouldn't be feasible for us. Just curious, how do leftovers factor in?

Yeah, I do that with the larger cuts of meats, but it is just us 4 99% of the time. The older 2 boys don't live with us any more. Peanut Butter Toast was my breakfast this morning!

Then one to two meals could come off from that main meat and leftovers froze used for several other meals. Amazing what you could make, sometimes up to five meals when say the ham was getting down such as ham and potatoe soup or quiche etc. (after scalloped potatoes and ham, everything omelettes etc. etc). usually every week one type was on sale or I pulled from the freezer. Now I'm in my 60's and a meal is peanut butter toast as I live alone. :) Enjoy this time of cooking. I do have family meals on Tuesday evening now but it's simple things to get grandkids and parents fed as it is a short stop from off the school bus to sports 4-5:30, lucky as I now have 12 grands!JREhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17038945848573796070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4218568831965507385.post-382959724446332212017-09-18T12:33:30.653-05:002017-09-18T12:33:30.653-05:00Yeah, we are still cooking for 4.

Hubs and daughter could eat the same thing over and over. Really, for this list - it took maybe 30 minutes - I wrote all of favorites. Just some weeks, I cannot seems to come up with even one!<br />Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02863887265545701157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4218568831965507385.post-74740703996489197122017-09-18T12:31:26.911-05:002017-09-18T12:31:26.911-05:00It is wonderful too and made mostly in the crock p...It is wonderful too and made mostly in the crock pot.

Since I buy meats on discount it would only work as long as I had the appropriate proteins stockpiled in the freezer so 1 year commitment would prolly not work.<br />But it's a good idea and you can riff off of it.slugmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12728856166374248591noreply@blogger.com
