• Pork stew 
• Salmon cakes , oven fries, salad 
• Chicken pot pie, fruit
• Breakfast for dinner, 

Notes 

Pizza and breakfast for dinner are mainstays here. Oirm7 yo has been making pizza since  she was 4.  

Breakfast for dinner is  a family affair, everyone cooks. 

Chili is homemade in the insta pot. 

Chicken enchiladas are homemade and green sauce is easy with magic mix.  Green chilies are cheapest at Winco for their brand.  Winco does not have BPA in their cans 

Pork stew is from meat cut from the ends of a pork loin.   Add carrots and potatoes. 

Salmon cakes are from canned salmon from Costco, 

Chicken pot pie is from frozen chicken and a leftover pie crust, 

Making meal plans that use up what you have is a good way to stretch your food dollar and nit waste food.  He rest of the fresh  Green beans will make their way into the  chicken pot pie.  The green chilies will do double duty in chili and enchilada sauce. 

Freezing your meat in meal sized packages portion controls you meals and saves money and your waistline.
