Two pounds on day one. Well not my best day one, but I'll take it. I guess I dreamed that for some reason I'd have a nice 12 lb week one. LoL yeah right.
I finally got around to batch cooking some chicken breasts today. If you've read my blog, you know that I think batch cooking is the way to go. Why cook each and every meal when you can cook several portions at once and have them on hand. I tend to do this with everything except fish. I now have about 15 portions of chicken all ready to use. I can chop them cold for a salad, toss them in soup, or warm them just a bit and be good. In the next few days I'll do the same with eye of round steak and 96/4 ground beef.
