Meal plans for week of 11/5

Meal plans are a necessary part of your meal prep.   Theynsave tome and money and make life a bit less hectic in the dinner hour.  A mantra is to soend a little bit more time planning and shopping and less time cooking if you are time crunched.   You save money and have better meals if you can efficientkymscratch cook and buy your food at rock bottom prices.  I want my financial adviser to buy stock  high and sell low said no one ever, so why buy  your food thensame way?

I digress mea Plans .   We use a protein based matrix for variety.

• Chicken basil sausage, oven roasted veggies 

•  Pizza 

•  Mac and cheese, peas and carrots 

• Spaghetti and meatballs 

•  Pork stew skillet pie -taste of home 

•  Shrimp fettuccine 

•  Breakfast for dinner 

Notes :

1.  Chicken sausage was in sale  at Fred Meyers for 2.50 on a buy 10  mix or match.  
2. Pizza crust is on the freezer, I made a monthly batch to save time and money. 
3. Mac and cheese was a request. Using multiple kinds of cheese makes the flavor interesting. 
4. Spaghetti and meatballs cooks in 8 minutes in the insta pot.   
5. Pork stew is from m the pork loin that we purchased for 1.69 a pound .
6. Shrimp fettuccine used the other half of the fettuccine noodles from last week. 
7. Breakfast for dinner is a family affair and everyone cooks.   

Incorporating what is on sale at the store is an age old trick to save money.  Eating in season hero’s greatly too.    Taste of home has a honey carrot bread I am going to try this week.   It sounded good and carrots are a good way to get vegetables into someone that doesn’t eat vegetables often and should,
