Pulled pork Fiesta Bowl with tomato salsa bell pepper & Monterey Jack cheese

2 servings prepared

Here's what you get:

Jasmine rice

Green bell pepper

Cilantro

Pulled pork

Chicken stock concentrate

Sour cream

Shallot

Roma tomato

Lime

Fajita spice blend

Monterey Jack cheese

The rice:

I did the full amount of rice this time since my next meal calls for rice as well.

The protein:

The pulled pork is already cooked so the preparation on this is mostly sauteing the veggies and then simmering the meat. I did the full amount because it was kind of awkward to measure out one serving. The rest of the fajita meat/veggies will be used for Nacho Thursday.

The salsa:

This one is a quick prep item you just cut/mix the veggies, add lime juice then salt and pepper to taste.

Extras:

I added some lime to the sour cream before adding to the dish because I liked the flavor combination after having it in another meal.

The plate!

The pre-cooked meat was actually pretty good. The package looked like it wouldn't be a whole lot of meat but it actually was. Because of this I decided to cook the whole thing today and use the rest of the meat for an alternate meal instead of measuring for a single serving. I could see the pulled pork being really good for a pulled pork BBQ meal as well.

Bacon butter!

Making: Today I'll be making bacon butter. Whenever I make bacon I save the grease. Now that I have enough it will be turned into batches of bacon butter. I used about 2.75 sticks of butter total. Cut into jars then I let them sit until the butter was close to room temperature. The bacon fat I have collected (Stored in the refrigerator) was heated in bits over a double boiler until liquified but not too hot. The melted bacon fat was poured over the butter. You can use a strainer to get rid of and chunky bits and then mixed until well incorporated. The smaller jars have just over 3 oz butter. The bigger jar has 4.3 oz butter. Here are the finished jars. These will be stored in the fridge and used to cook veggies and sear meats. You could also put herbs in the jar for different flavors. - Kris

Reviewing: Chicken sausage sweet potato and kale soup. 1 serving prepared Here's what you get: Forgot the cheese! Sweet potato Kale Italian chicken sausage mix Chili flake Yellow onion Italian seasoning Chicken stock concentrate Parmesan cheese Not used: Demi baguette The soup: Per instructions I started by cooking the onion and sausage together until the onions are browned and the sausage was cooked through. Next the sweet potatoes, stock concentrate and spice packet was added along with 1 in 1/4 cup of vegetable broth. After the soup was done simmering for 7 minutes per instruction I put the kale in and let it cook for an additional seven minutes. Side: Since I can't have the baguette I made some GF cheese crackers to go along with the soup today. The process for that will be posted at a later date. The plate: And flat bread - Kris
