How to Cook a Great Piece of Meat Without any Butter or Soy

I like to cook large pieces of meat and stretch it out for 2 or 3 meals. This is a great way to save money, especially with a large family. I have found a basic method that works with all large meats. I usually have a couple extra flavors I use for each one, but here are the basics.
(This can apply to Roast Beef - of course you want to sear this one first, Whole Chicken, Turkey)

1 - The Oil and Salt
~ With Roast Beef sear it in Olive Oil or Corn Oil with losts of salt
~ With Chickens and Turkeys salt them real good on the skin and pour corn oil on the bottom of a roasting bag, then sprinkle a little on top of the bird

2 - The Garlic
~ Cut criss-cross holes in the meat evenly around (4-6) depending on how large
~ place garlic cloves in each hole

3 - The Onions
~ Throw and onion in there! Whether it be your crock pot or your roasting bag

4 - Let it cook
~ For a Roast Beef just leave it in the crock pot on low all day, I usually get mine in around 9 and it's ready around 6, you do want to let it sit in the crock pot turned off for about a half hour.
~ For Chickens and Turkeys I just follow the roasting bag instructions, but they generally cook for about 2-3 hours.

I'll share later my extra ingredients for each meat.
I already have an article on how to slow raost a turkey in November.

The Invincible Paris

Paris - Mom did you know that when I die I am never going to heaven? You want to know why?
Me - why!?
Paris - Because right before I go to heaven I am going to open my eyes!

Parisisms of the week

After walking in what seemed like gail force winds to our car and crawling safely into our van, Paris said "shwew, that wind almost took my talking away!"

Paris - Did you know that you can call ants and spiders bad words?
Me - You can? Why do you think that!?
Paris - Because they poke you and God didn't know that when he made them
Me - laughter and theology lesson ensues

Leftovers - Make it fun!

You can spread your food farther if you can get your family to eat leftovers. It saves you money and time. You can make it fun, here's how;

Have a Leftover Restaurant Night. Make a Menu in a program like Publisher or Word that you can easily change depending on what is in your refrigerator. When you find you have a few options that could feed everyone, declare it restaurant night. Dress up the table a little bit, maybe use the fancy napkins that you can throw in the wash later. Print out the a menu and let them choose what they want. Then serve them like an official maître d', towel hung over arm and all. Payments are made in kisses and hugs, dishes that you worked harder on earlier in the week require more affection!
