Hellobee Boards

@Mrs. Bee: We love pork tenderloin, if you have a costco near you they have a 4 pack for a great deal, between $18-$25. My dh and ds love my Caribbean pork tenderloin.

We buy boneless skinless chicken breasts, tenderloins, and thighs. Pork loin and tenderloin, I cut the loin into chops. I don't buy much beef, my parents raise grass fed beef and split one with us. I do buy tri tips and flank occasionally.

For beef, we make pot roast with a chuck roast, and for steaks we usually get t-bones, porterhouses or rib-eyes. We also will cook standing rib roasts or beef tenderloins if there is a good deal. We do ground beef, but not all that often. In the summer we grill a lot of steak tips. (One tip from my husband who worked in a meat room as a teenager, never buy top, bottom, or round. Those are tough cuts of beef.)

For pork we do a lot of tenderloins, and ocassionally chops and country style spare ribs. I will get sausage every once in a while.

Chicken is breasts and thighs mostly with the ocassional whole chicken.

We'll do a ham maybe once a year as well as corned beef maybe once a year, and I'll make a dirty rice with kielbasa maybe 3 times a year.

Ground turkey, roasts, pork tenderloin, salmon, tilapia, chicken breasts, and occasionally ground beef.

For soup/broth, I buy a cut up whole chicken.

Otherwise, I buy pork tenderloins, pork loins (the kind that is HUGE from Sam's Club and I cut into the rib end, loin end, and center, so we get 3 massive hunks), beef sirloin or filet, bacon, sausage, mahi mahi, and when I'm not pregnant, we really like swordfish. Sometimes I will buy ground chicken and ground pork if we're making, say, lettuce wraps. Not often, though.

We both prefer lean, non fatty cuts of meat.

Chicken: Boneless skinless chicken breasts, different varieties of chicken thighs depending on what I'm making (either bone-in skin-on or boneless skinless), very occasionally a whole chicken.

Beef: Ground beef

Turkey: Ground turkey

Pork: Spareribs, boneless pork loin chops, boneless chuck roast when on sale (so easy to do a pot roast in the crock pot!), sausage links

Fish: Very rarely, but DH makes tilapia or we'll buy farm-raised salmon when on sale sometimes but it's still SO expensive.

We have been adding a few servings of ground turkey into the mix and have a Ham and a Turkey in the freezer we need to cook up.

Ground beef or turkey at 93/7, depending on what is on sale or what we're doing with it. I don't like turkey burgers, so we get 80/20 ground beef for burgers.

@StbHisMrs: We recently discovered Costco's pork tenderloins!! So yummy... I'd love your Caribbean recipe!

We regularly buy sliced ribeye and sliced pork belly (from the Korean market), ground beef, chicken breast, pork tenderloin, ribeye steaks (from Costco), and ground pork, beef pot roasts/beef stew meat (from the Mexican grocery store).

After years of buying ground meat and boneless skinless chicken breasts, I switched a few years ago to buy from farmers. So now I get all the cuts. I had never in my life cooked a pot roast or roasted a whole chicken but now I am amazing!
