My slow cooker is my favorite kitchen tool, right now as I write this blog my cooker is making pork broth soup with brown basmati rice. I will make some pizza dough and top it off with hand made cheese some olives, onion and chopped pork.
The whole entire meal will probably cost less than $3.00

February 22 Lunch Pork Carnitas
Here I am staring at some left over pork and corn tortillas. Carnitas have rapidly become my new favorite food to eat. I guess they can be eaten on a diet I just won't add any cheese. I microwaved three soft corn tortillas added some hot chopped pork, lettuce, lime juice and onion.
Not bad, the pork was moist enough to make this meal satisfying.

February 22 Breakfast Fruit
On the weekend we helped out some friends by picking fruit from their trees. The kids want to go back to climb and pick some more fruit.
Today we had a nice big bowl of fresh fruit (banana, grapefruit, strawberry and orange). We ate some protein after by having a hard boiled egg for breakfast.

Happy Presidents Day - Cheese Making Day
Nothing is better than a nice holiday to make cheese. My guests ate all my cheese on home made crackers Saturday. The plan is to make greek yogurt cheese and more milk based cheese. I will look at the spices they roll the soft cheese in a try to copy it.

Home Made Mayonnaise For Deviled Eggs
You can get a free copy of our book "The Scratch" by sending an email to rickjhenderson@hotmail.com I won't share your email with anybody. The Scratch is about making three great meals to feed your family for under $17
I had some friends come over for dinner this weekend. One of the appetizers I was going to make was deviled eggs. I had already hard boiled and peeled the eggs before I realized I did not have any Mayo.
I grabbed two eggs seperated the yolks from the whites, added some (1 tbsp)dijon, (pinch)salt and pepper and whisked together for 10 seconds. I put a wet cloth on the counter and placed the bowl on top of the cloth so the bowl did not spin when the mayo thickened. Then I began to slowly add (1 cup) olive oil while whisking. once the mayo was thick and shiny I added a little bit of lemon juice and whisked again for 5 seconds.
I added a spoon full for my home made mayo to hard boiled egg yolks mixed with a fork and stuffed the hard boiled egg whites and sprinked a little paprika on each.
I am glad I ate an egg first as there were no leftovers to try later.
Total cost was $2.69 for 16 half deviled eggs with almost a whole cup of tasty Mayo leftover.

Chicken Salad Sandwich
I like to keep meals simple.
A few days ago I purchased some chicken that was on sale for a great price. Thighs and legs are the family favorite when it comes to chicken. To add variety I decided that I would chop up some chicken and add some Mayonnaise, celery and mix together. this become the chicken salad that I would use for todays, sandwich. A little leftover romain lettuce for extra green was included to make a fantastic lunch!

Fantastic Mediterreanean Style Appetizer
You can get a free copy of our book "The Scratch" by sending an email to rickjhenderson@hotmail.com I won't share your email with anybody. The Scratch is about making three great meals to feed your family for under $17
I want to share with you a great appetizer I made this weekend.
It was really simple to make. I took a square cracker and put a big enough dab of home made Greek yogurt cheese to hold an olive. I drizzled the cheese with a touch of honey, I put a half black olive ontop of the honey added a small piece of artichoke from a can. Finally I took a small piece of procscuitto ham and layed it over top.
This appetizer was fantastic. My earlier post titled "Making Cheese for the Meditereanean Diet " has instructions about how to make cheese.
