Illinois along with many other parts of the Midwestern United States has been experiencing record warmth. It was 81 degrees on Wednesday which is the third earliest time in the 150 plus years of meteorologists keeping records for the state of Illinois. Most of my friends & relatives locally and o Facebook have been outside enjoying this beautiful weather while I have been home sick. Went to my doctor Wednesday and he did a test to see if I had strep throat or the Flu despite the fact that I had received the FLU shot at his office in September of 2011. The good news is that both of those tests were normal, that being said I have not exercised since a week ago Friday because I have been sick. Turns out I have a nasty sinus infection and the antibiotic that the doctor prescribed for me is causing me to have quite a bit of dizziness, in addition to my walking around with my ears plugged like I am on a plane and waiting for it to land. I have not cooked anything new since then either. I currently have 13 PIC's of my prior recipes on my computers hard drive and several in my camera to be loaded when I am feeling up to it.

In December 2010 I was sick over the Chanukah/Christmas holidays so I never made it to my younger sister's house to celebrate with her husband and my two young nieces, so we all got together in January of 2011 instead for dinner at her house for our gift exchanges. My sister had a pair of comfy house slippers that I really liked over Thanksgiving so she decided to get me a pair for my gift, unfortunately the slippers did not fit so I wound up going to the Farm & Fleet about 50 minutes from my house in the dead of winter to exchange my slippers before they sold out of there stock and before my receipt expired. As the saying goes, Murphy's Law, decided to strike as they did not have any of these slippers in my size and I spent an hour trying on many other types and nothing fit. I received a store credit and wound up buying my 1st ever Stainless Steel Dutch Oven for the exact amount of my store credit. Although, I was disappointed not to find any house slippers and I still have not found a pair to replace my Dearfoams that croaked a few years ago, I am extremely happy with my Dutch Oven and all the meals I have made in it for the last 13 months.

There is nothing easier to me then putting everything in one skillet, a wok, a dutch oven, a crock pot, a casserole dish, a roaster, or the vitamix and making one dish, soup, or beverage all at once. Having Chronic Pain health issues means that my form of cooking is all about ease, less preparation, use of inexpensive frozen chopped vegetables, bottled minced garlic, bottled chopped jalapenos, sometimes bottled roasted peppers, sometimes pre-grilled frozen chicken breasts, chunks, or strips as well as flame broiled frozen steak strips. I always have a large jar of unsweetened applesauce, canned pumpkin, and ground flaxseed ready for baking. I do not bake every week because it is too difficult on my hands which have severe arthritis so I make a double batch which means 12 muffins instead of 6 or I make 19 and because it is just me I freeze what is left. Making large one part meals is also much easier for me which allows me left overs and extra to freeze and then I do not have to cook on days when my pain is off the charts and I am just hanging out hoping for it to go away.

Chuck Eye Steak in Bag
I stopped taking my Metagenics Hemagenic's Iron Supplement in December 2011 after 1 and half years, so now I am worried that without red meat 2-3x a month my stored Iron in my Bone Marrow will become seriously depleted again or worse even nonexistent. I tried various forms of Iron and this was the only type that did not give me GI Issues and caused less conflict with my RX Meds and other supplements that i already take. http://www.patientsmedical.com/products/Hemagenics.aspx
On my refrigerator I have a stack of blood test orders from my Immunologist, one for Iron Studies, one for a CBC with Diff, One for Pneumonia and Flu Antibodies, and soon I will receive an order from my Family Practice Doc for what he wants. Then I will get them all done at once, in one lab and get one bill. With my goal to keep my Iron counts steady, here is a quick way to prepare a less expensive cut of steak so that it is moist & flavorful . I try to get these when each package is on sale for a little over $2.00, then I buy 6 packages which lasts me for a while.
