Meat and Fish "Family Packs"

Dear Betty, We love your recipes but are on a tight budget. We only buy our groceries for a month at a time so we buy family packs. We divide the meat up in portions for one meal. We would like some new recipes for boneless pork chops, boneless skinless chicken and fish. Thank you, Loraine
Hi Loraine, Well, what a fabulous way to trim the food budget! I just love the warehouse stores with their family packs of meat and fish. Get ready, because I have lots and lots of boneless chicken breast recipes!  Go to this page, Chicken Breast Recipes,  and take your pick! I also have a few pork recipes that would work with boneless pork chops: Sweet-and-Sour Pork Chops Apple Roasted Pork Chops (you can use boneless or bone-in chops) Tangy Pork Cutlets (you can use thin boneless chops) Maple Apple Chops (again, you can use boneless chops) And I’ve also got a few fish fillet recipes (most any firm-fleshed white fish can be used): Mediterranean Fish Medley Zesty Flounder Fillets Southern Breaded Catfish   Spicy Broiled Fish Fillets Baked Fish & Potatoes Blackened Flounder

    I've heard that you can prepare sweet potatoes and all side dishes ahead and then freeze them. If this is done, then how do you prepare them so they're not overcooked on Thanksgiving, i.e., dressing, sweet potatoes, casseroles, etc? --Patty

  • Question
    I tried to make beef stew in slow cooker; it came out too soupy and potatoes still a little hard. How long should it cook? Instruction book gives no clue, no recipe book, nothing as a guide. Thank you. --Connie

    Hi Grandma! I'm kind of scared of undercooking chicken, but I don't want to overcook it, either! Can you tell me how to tell when it's done? --Alex
