On a cooking jag today

[mandyky]

I oven BBQed chicken thighs and pork chops.

I parboiled the chicken first so I have at least 4 quarts of chicken broth. Probably I'll finish the stock up tomorrow. I have wanted vegetable soup for months now, so I'll probably make a chicken based vegetable soup. May add rice or pasta.

I also am gonna try to make some egg drop soup with some of the broth.

Why am I doing all this cooking? We have two refrigerators with very small freezers, and I ran out of room, so had to cook up some of my frozen meat to make room for new groceries I got yesterday.

Now I need to come up with some side dishes for the meat, any ideas?

1. Oven fried pork chops

Dipped in egg and rolled in any crumbs on hand. Add some oil to the bottom of a large pan, in go the chops and baked until done. turn once.

Or use a chop or two to make that lima bean soup I posted about if you're feeling daring.

2. Well, I am at it again

We had a few really hot days so I didn't cook. Finished putting the chicken stock together, and the egg drop soup turned out great.

I may cook a few more things up today, but am still juggling room in the frig.
