- Make notes of prep work on meal plan work sheet.
- Cook chicken for chicken pot pie. Make crust if you are not using the bisquick recipe. I'm using the insta pot, but my mother ised to poach chicken on the microwave.
- Note things on the fridge that need to be used up.
- Make a new batch of cream soup base.
- Make bread.
- Post meals on dry erase board and post things that we need to use up. Use those things first. I saw a clog once where a lady marks things like milk with numbers so the children know which jug to use first ( or next) .
Keeping a stock and replenishing your stock when prices are at their lowest instead of buying just what you need when you need it saves time and stress. If you can't ormdont want to go shopping, you don't have to. Even if you are a shop when you need to shopper, it's a good idea to keep a few ingredients and a plan for dinner when one of those ;);) storm days happens. We have all had them. Also, keep a few things that you can eat without having to cook them in case of an emergency, I still keep cans of beans for when I am on a hurry and don't want to cook scratch or for emergencies. You can't eat them cold if you have to. We live in a part of the country where we have wind storms in the winter and often the power goes out and sometimes takes days to get it back. You can't brave the weather I go to the next town to eat at a restaurant and stand in line, or you can be prepared to cook at home. I have been known to cook canned soup in a cast iron Dutch oven in the fireplace. Not the best fare, but our tummys were happy.
