Meal Plans

Meal plans are a necessary part of your meal prep.    Having a plan staves off the take out demons.   It just makes meal tome easier.  It doesn’t mean you have to stick to the plan, but it is, rather, a road map to get you to economical dinners. 

• Fajitas 
• Pizza
• Depression stew 
• Potato soup 
• Chicken pot pie 
• Tacos, Spanish rice 
• Breakfast for dinner 

Notes 

1. Peppers continue to be a dollar at sprouts.  Green ones are cheaper, but we don’t like them. 
2. Spanish rice can do a double duty.  Tomato powder is a good thing to have when tomatoes are expensive, or you are out.  Ingredients :  dried tomatoes, period. 
3. Depression stew is a very old recipe from great grandmothers, or great, great, grandmothers. it uses  any leftover meat you have, bits and pieces. We have bacon I got for 1.28 a pound and a few stray meatballs on the freezer.   
4. Potato soup uses some of the ten pounds of potatoes we got for 1.69.  Cheesy biscuits are Betty Crocker  and easy, peas, quick.    Add some protein. 
5. Chicken pot pie is easy and a favorite, 
6. Tacos are good and you can use ground turkey or beef.  Double duty on the Spanish rice, 
7. Breakfast for dinner is a family affair with the family cooking, 

We made peach dump cake this week.  Friday was a half day at school for granddaughter.  It is easy and we had a free cake mix , so the cost was a cheese of butter and a can  of peaches  I had got on sale .  Teaching cooking skills is a good 5hing since they dint do that in school anymore,   She is learning safe knife skills,
