The idea behind cook once eat twice is a way to have healthy dinners on the table even when life gets crazy. By cooking a larger amount of something one day you can roll the ingredients into another meal that you can have ready in minutes on one of the busy days. Cooking this way saves you time and money. It saves you time by having a healthy meal on the table in 15 minutes. It saves you money by not wasting or throwing away any ingredients and having a plan for all the items that you buy.
The oven-roasted brisket edition has you cooking it low and slow one day and serving it over a simple cauliflower mash (or mashed potatoes/buttered noodles for non-keto members of the household) then rolling into a flavorful taco the next day. This edition makes more meat then is needed for these two recipes. You have two options, You can take half of the brisket, sauce, and veggies from the first night and then freeze it for another week of meals that will be featured in Oven Braised Brisket #2. I have 2 more recipes coming soon on what to do with the rest of it. Or you can just eat the leftovers for the rest of the week. This is what you will need for both recipes, the grocery list is the fresh or specific ingredients you will need and the pantry items are things you probably already have in your kitchen if you are missing something from the pantry list make sure to add them to your grocery list!
Thank you for taking the time to check out this edition of cook once eat twice on Table and a Chair. You can follow our Facebook page here where we post all of our new recipes first.
