I love this meal! I just bought a huge piece of pork butt on the weekend. I tossed it in the freezer but can't wait to make it. Life is better with pork.

Yesterday we had pizza (I had meatzza and the kids and hubby had Italian pizza). After the fire in our pizza oven had burned down a bit - I put this this caserole with pork chops in the warm oven. They have been spiced up with celery salt, sweet smoked paprika, garlic powder and cummin. They've been cook g for almost 24 hours. Wiĺl be eaten w. Baked cauliflower and a big ass salad

I can't seem to add a photo...

Dawn that sounds awesome.

The smartest thing the Instant Pot folks did was remove the words "pressure cooker" from the equation. I applaud their marketing savvy!

Tonight's primal dinner: Roast chicken, brussel sprouts, and if I can wakeup Snoreguy, smashed potatoes.

Grilled meat & Greek salad.

Grass fed NY strip, mustard and spinach greens with Indian spices and a too large sweet potato.

^That looks good!

Looks great!

Mmmmmm.

Tonight was Moroccan spiced meatballs in tomato sauce and roasted cauliflower. Very tasty - and enough sauce left to use on chicken thighs tomorrow.

That sounds really good!

Tonight is going to be scrambled eggs. I'll probably throw some cheddar cheese on 'em and have some veggie on the side. Some dark chocolate for dessert.

White asparagus with sauce Hollandaise, boiled potatoes and beef...

^^^ That looks and sounds so awesome.

...Am I the only one who's kind of freaked out by white asparagus...? There's just something about the way they look. It kind of grosses me out, even though they don't taste bad. lol

Bacon-wrapped chicken thighs!

Had some carrot "noodles" and cauliflower rice on the side.

^ Looks good! Probably tasted good as well.  

Shawarma chicken thighs and tomato-cucumber salad with feta & fresh herbs.

You're welcome.

No issues with the green ones? Or other veggies? Since the white ones are only available temporarily I enjoy them while they are. Mostly eating what the seasons provide, not too strict during winter months though...

Broiled haddock with cooked white asparagus and Butter/Bibb lettuce with mustard vinaigrette and some panfried potatoes (with onion/garlic/paprika/s&p).

Yesterday grilled chicken filet w. salad of sun flower shoots and cucumber, olives, avocado, feta cheese, olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

Today the same except chicken filet have been swapped for thighs and the dressing is ceasars and the cheese is parmesan.

As they say: 'A picture is worth a thousand words'.

I am a very recent convert to brining meat, although I have been brining veggies for years. Anyway, I accidentally left a couple porkchops overnight in my brine, when the usual time is 2-3 hours in the fridge. Let me tell you, seared in ghee and sprinkled with magic mushroom powder ( from Nom Nom Paleo), then briefly cooked, they were yummy. And tender! Probably the tenderest meat I have eaten in years. Yet some from the same package were dry and chewy the day before. I won't be brining turkeys any time soon, but chicken breasts getting the treatment might just change my mind about the dry stuff I've choked down for years. Just don't overbrine them, or they may end up slightly too salty when the mushroom seasoning is added.

Lovebird.....I would LOVE that dinner! It looks delicious!
