Winging It - Grab and Go Meal Deals

A blogger posed a question on Facebook-

Do you plan your meals

or Wing it?

My response- Wing it-

But let me qualify that statement.

(photo above, pork butts after the smoker)

(After slow cooking all night preparing it for pulling)

We look for really good deals on meat.

Not only do we purchase a hog and process it ourselves,

we watch for grocery specials such as these pork butts.

Yes, we like pork a lot.

At $1.00 per pound, we purchased two good sized butts.

Then my husband smoked them,

we pulled them and vacuum sealed in 1.5 lb packets

so we can just pull out what we need for one meal.

Add some BBQ sauce and sides for a quick meal

or plop it on a bun  and have with your favorite chips.

We do the same with deer, chicken

and a smaller amount of beef.

So, not quite planned, 

but not quite Winging It!

Definitely Grab and Go.

** we make our own pizza very similar to this specialty pizza, 

cracker thin crust with provel cheese (a St Louis creation).  The cost per pizza is about $8-10 for us to make it. Expensive but our pizza is pizza parlor quality.  When we find a similar quality pizza on sale at $4, we can't  pass it up!
