Once a Month Cooking Week!

I'm doing a Once a Month Cooking (OAMC) marathon this week. Some of the recipes I do will be ones that I have already shared for you in this blog, but I'll be doing a lot of other stuff too! I will be putting up some new recipes this week, so be sure to check back!

Today I started the week off by buying all the meat at Costco. When I got home, I immediately began browning the ground beef. I still have about 8 lbs of it left to go, but I'm almost there. I will also be baking several pans of chicken breasts, which will be cut up and added to a number of recipes, including enchiladas, tortilla soup, and my sweet and sour chicken recipe. Before the day is over, I'll also be putting together some ingredients to make a quick and easy Roast Beef Au Jus, which you must remind me to share with you if I forget!

Here's the complete list of what I plan to make:
Sloppy Joes (x3)
Chili (x4)
Beef Tips (x2)
Beef Pot Pie (x2)
Taco Meat (x4)
Roast Beef Au Jus (x2)
Sweet and Sour Chicken (x3)
Chicken Enchiladas (x2)
Taco Soup (x3)
Tortilla Soup (x3)
Chicken Cilantro Enchiladas (x2)
Beef Stew (x2)
Teriyaki Meatballs (x2)
Barbecue Meatballs (x2)
Chicken Pot Pie (x4)
Spaghetti Sauce (x5)
--------------------------
45 meals

Yes, I know this will last me well over a month, but I so love to double or triple recipes when I can, and it makes it so much easier to do OAMC when you aren't making 30 different recipes!

So, that's what I'm up to this week!
