Meal Plans for week of September 25

Note:  I'm still at 35.00 a week and I even bought a three pound package of good hamburger.   What I failed at was to deplete our stock suffeciently.   So we are going to push on with another month.   Most meals are based on five dollars for a proverbial family of four:  two adults and two school aged children.

Meals

1. Orange Pork with rice and carrots 
2. Pizza
3. Chicken nuggets and oven fries , veggie sticks 
4. Enchaladas, beans or rice, fruit for drsrrt 
5. Split pea soup, beer bread 
6. Salmon patties, baked potatoes, salad 
7. Breakfast for dinner.   

Notes; 

I have a form that I made for meal planning.   It has two columns for listing a master list of perishables, and a column for notes of items needed.   It also has boxes for meal plans and the extra box is for our matrix.   it makes meal planning quick and easy..   Proteins are not listed because we always have the same proteins, just sometimes more than others.   

This was done in excel. 

Breakfast for dinner and pizza are real winners at our house and we eat  a variety of them each week. 

Chicken nuggets are homemade as well as oven fries.   They are more healthy and dont take much time.   Enchaladas are made with homemade enchalada sauce an hamburger and cheese.  We also have chicken enchaladas with a sour cream and chili pepper sauce.   Split pea soup is scratch , cheap, and cooks in the slow cooker.  Beer bread is easy...4 ingredients.   Some of us are not fond of corn bread and this is an alternative.   Salmon patties can be purchased at winco , or made from scratch.   I purchased romaine and head lettuce, so we will be using it throughout the week.
