From Pumpkin Guts, to New Beef Cuts
As, you can see my quick trip to the Commisary today scored me and my family some of the first pumpkins of the season! Fall is absolutely my favorite season! I love the colors, smells, and the produce.
Pumpkin. What a wonderful vegetable, and with a 6mo old in our house who is being introduced to all kinds of veggie purees, this gives me an excuse to snag them and cook them up. Although my husband won't complain, as he reaps the benefits of these little beauties too.
I'm so glad we ran on base today!
One perk of the commisary is that meat is a good price, but today I decided to check the reduced meat section. I found a cut of meat that I have never seen, or cooked before....Beef Cheek! Yes, I realize that cows have cheeks, but I didn't stop to think that is was something that you could ask the butcher for.
All my searching came up with one...only ONE...cooking option, Braised. This is fine, as my knowledge of braising meat is quite limited, so I may as well learn it on this. My husband is actually reall intrigued by it, and seemed to think that it's going to be a wonderful experiment....I guess, here goes nothing!
