A FOOD LOVER'S SURVIVAL

Welcome to my blog of how to survive as a food lover during tough times.

So I made a bunch of Corned Beef & Cabbage, now what?

I am proud to say I successfully made my first batch of corned beef and cabbage.



No I did not make green bread too, I bought it.

I never was a fan of boiled anything, let alone beef. But this was so good. Tender slice of beef that had been simmering in a mixture of spices, garlic, thyme and veggies for hours. It was incredible. I made it for my hardworking man (Kevin) who loves corned beef and cabbage. He said it was better than his and he's a chef! Wether he meant it or not, I'll take it.

But I found myself with a pot full of stock and veggies. Not to mention a big chunk of beef. Now what?

Before I went to bed last night I separated the beef, veggies and stock. I figured I would sleep on it.

The obvious thing to make first was a sandwich of corned beef, ground mustard with horseradish, cabbage and swiss cheese. What could make it better? Panini press of course. This was Kevin's lunch and he loved it.

But I still have a lot of veggies and stock. Not too much beef, Kevin had seconds the night before. By chance I found a coupon for Pillsbury Grand Biscuits, you know the kind that is in the tube that pops when you open it. Perfect! I am going to make mini hand pies with cabbage, beef, mustard and cheese. I can freeze them unbaked for a few months. I may have to bake at least one to make sure they taste good, its what I like to call "quality control.

However, I still have the veggies and stock. So I am thinking I might make soup with both or .......

What do you do with your leftovers from St. Patrick's Day?
