Monday Kitchen Management

Kitchen management is a tool that saves time and stress during the hectic dinner hour.    Prepping for meals makes dinner a snap and keeping the kitchen clean on a rotation basis is a good thing too.


Meal plan reminder:


  • Pork chops, dressing, veggies
  • Pizza
  • Salmon, seasoned rice , peas and carrots 
  • Chicken Parmesan, salad 
  • Meatballs and gravy , mashed potatoes, mixed vegetables 
  • Stir fry chicken and rice, mandarin oranges 
  • Breakfast for dinner 


  1. Wash kitchen floor 
  2. Clean out refrigerator and dump anything dead. 
  3. Wash and disinfect countertops and kitchen sinks and drains . 
  4. Thaw pork chops 
  5. Make pizza dough 
  6. Make sure seasoned rice mix is made 
  7. Straighten pantry.   

Pork chops are browned and put on top of dressing and finished off in the oven.   
Pizza is a family favorite and cost about 1.05 for a cheese pizza.  Add toppings from leftovers.   
Salmon was 5.00 a pound at winco and wash frozen/ 
Chicken parm.....spaghetti noodles cook in the insta pot for 2 minutes in a quart of liquid.  Instant release.
Meatballs are two dollars for almost a pound at winco.  
Chicken breast is cooked in the insta pot from frozen in 8 minutes to 12 minutes depending on the thickness of the chicken.   Probably less if using flattened chicken breast coming in a frozen bag.   
Breakfast for dinner this week is egg muffins, bacon and fruit.
