Meal plans are a necessary tool to help us get through the week with some degree of order. It just makes life easier. Make a plan, or plan to fail. We have been try No to introduce 1 new recipe a week to mix things up and try new things, Boredom is a good thing to avoid.
- Ham, potato, pepper chowder soups cookbook from Taste of Home
- Pizza
- Breakfast for dinner
- Black bean enchiladas
- Roast chicken, bread stuffing, craisens, apples, green beans
- Baked potato bar
- Hamburgers, corn on the cob, green beans
Notes
- Some meals are leftover from last weeks list.
- Pizza is a family favorite. A cheese pizza is about a dollar.
- Black bean enchiladas are a new recipe from Betty Crocker. Make your own enchilada sauce
- Roast chicken is already cooked and on the freezer. The bread for dressing was fifty cents at GO.
- Baked potato bar uses up potatoes before they go bad and is a good way to use up leftovers.
- Hamburgers, corn on the cob and green beans uses corn on the cob that was 3/1 at sprouts. Hamburger patties that need to be used. Cleaning out the freezer.
- Breakfast for dinner will use the Jimmy Dean Sausage we got for free at Kroger. Add eggs and fruit, Strawberries have been a dollar and oranges continue to be cheap, as well as apples.
Using up what you have and making best use of things that need to be used up is a way of saving a lot of money, It has been said that Americans waste 40 percent of their food, I don’t think the average family does that ; part of that statistic is farmers plowing food that isn’t perfect. Another part is buying organic when it spoils so fast. Organic costs about 60 percent more than regular fresh foods between the excess costs and the spoilage rate. Pesticides are usually water soluble according to what I have read. Wash your fruits and vegetables with vinegar water and let them dry,
