Tasty tails

My friend is claiming that my Whole 30 experience has been hectic because I'm ridiculous...supposedly "normal" people don't cook breakfast every weekday morning.  I have begun to go with the flow a little better...this morning was chicken steak and spinach - quick and easy.

I'm loving this simple food thing.  Dinner was absolutely delicious and relatively easy because the crockpot is my best buddy.   This afternoon I put celery, onions, garlic, thyme, cilantro (on its last legs), and tomatoes in the crockpot - I seasoned that with a little jerk then added my oxtails and sprinkled on the brown meat seasoning, I topped it off with some leeks and let it cook in a little beef stock.

While waiting at ice hockey, I realized I had forgotten to cook the cabbage - my only solution was going to be the pressure cooker but was apprehensive that I'd end up with mushy cabbage.  I sauteed a half onion, cut up half a cabbage and threw it in, sprinkled on some seasoning and cooked under pressure for 5 minutes with a little chicken stock.

Dinner was lip smacking good, we didn't even miss the rice & pigeon peas - I only wish there were leftovers.  We topped it off with mango cream.

I'm nervous about next week - my cow share is just about finished, I am trying to get folks in on a new cow, but even so, it'll be at least 3 weeks before the cow is slaughtered and butchered - guess we'll be eating chicken (or lamb).
