Kathleen bought a bag of chicken with some teriyaki BBQ sauce at Trader Joe a while back. It is taking up too much room in the freezer so I am making that and some white rice.
 
I put a pot roast in the slow cooker before I left this morning and it is just about ready to finish up. I made my "Accidental Pot Roast" again. Accidental because I poured a can of beer over the last one I did getting it mixed up with my pulled pork. It turned out so good that I tried it again. I have potatoes, carrots and onions ready to roast and I will reduce the liquid from the roast as a sauce. I am not sure if I will add a green (either salad or broccoli) yet.
 
DH brought home Buffalo Chicken Tenders from Hardee's, 2 for 1 coupon. They're surprisingly good, with ranch dressing. And obviously quite healthy....I can just feel my arteries hardening.
 
This is the results.

That looks delicious. Do you velvet the meat first?

Thank you my wife and daughter loved it. I have gotten away from velveting. I mix with dark soy, rice wine and corn starch and let it marinade at least 30 minutes. Then I sear it in the wok. It works good without the extra calories. I will post the recipe after I get it typed up.
 
How about a recipe to go with that beautiful picture, PPO? You're making me drool again!

Okay, I'm confused. I have read that meat can be velveted in oil or in water/stock. What you do sounds like what I have read is velveting.

I marinade it like I will be velveting but I don't drown it in water or oil. I have done the oil one and it works. But this way is better, does require a hot wok but I love the way it turns out. I don't think a non-stick wok would work.
 
Roast tenderloin of beef, mashed potatoes and a veggie medley. For dessert - coffee and a decadent chocolate cake with a ganache topping.
