What to Expect

This week at These Old Cookbooks, we are serving up delicious meals that Grandma would approve.

Let’s talk about how to save time and money on meat and protein items.

Consider buying a quarter or half of beef from a farmer to stock the freezer. Buying beef in bulk can save you money in the long run. It might be a bit hard to swallow at first, but once you see how much beef you get for your money, you will change your mind.
We recommend using canned chunk chicken breast in casseroles. It’s an easy item to stock ahead, and it is really fast to pull out. Try using it in our Chicken Bow Tie Pasta Salad this week.
Brown up ground beef and pork sausage on the weekend. Drain it, and store in the refrigerator. This week, we have several recipes that this strategy works for.
Have you ever used canned salmon? We stock up at Aldi and use it for many recipes including Low Carb Salmon Patties and Salmon Casserole. It is very reasonable in price.
