  Don’t Take Us So SRSLY Sweet and Zippy Beef Stew SRSLY, SRSLY domestic science, admin, domestic science, freezer cooking, recipes, slow cooker | (0)

  A little bit Teriyaki, a little bit beef stew, and a whole lotta flavor...but not out of the freezer.  This meal was born last weekend, entirely out of "what do we have* that can be thrown in the slow cooker with these red potatoes?", and turned out wonderfully.  I used my l33t "dump  and sniff" skills to add various things until it smelled just right, and damn, was it lovely.  I can't attest first-hand for the survival of this dish in the freezer pre-cooking, but I can't imagine there'd be any problems.  To SRSLY-ify this dish, skip the schmear and ...

  A cross between chicken parmesan, chicken cacciatore, and chicken "pot roast", this slow-cooker poaching method allows the tomato flavor to penetrate the entire breast and makes wonderfully moist chicken. Mer likes the leftovers shredded on a roll, similar to our WTFBBQ.

  Cereal Killers: The Incredible Crock of Things You Don’t Need domestic science, frugality, health and fitness | (3)

  This weekend, I treated myself to a box of cereal. (I am a hardcore cereal lover. I would eat cereal for almost every meal if I could, but that would be unhealthy and expensive. Instead, it's a once-in-a-while treat.) As I crunched away on my flakes, I studied the back of the box, and found one of the most ridiculous examples of "you don't need it, but we'll sell it to you anyway" that I've seen in quite some time. The Special K Challenge, as I remember it (from my days of regular cereal consumption) went a ...

  SRSLY Mexican Rice SRSLY, SRSLY domestic science, domestic science, freezer cooking, recipes, slow cooker | (6)

  I love rice. Looove. Unhealthfully, immodestly, unreasonably do I love rice in it's many beautiful forms. Rice has become our default starchy carb food in the house, and I really see it as another sign of my adulthood that I get to eat rice when I like, instead of pasta and potatoes. ... aaaand, y'all don't care. Fine. Here's a rice recipe. It'll make me happy, at least. SRSLY Mexican Rice Ingredients: 1 lb. extra lean ground beef 1 medium onion, chopped 1 large green pepper, chopped 16 oz. can kidney beans, rinsed and drained 14 1/2 oz. can diced tomatoes, undrained 8 oz. can tomato sauce 1/4 c. ...
