Menu Monday

 

The next two weeks I am trying to clear a few things out of the fridge freezer and after moving things around yesterday in my meat freezer I think I better plan on eating that down a bit. I would like to have a January where we use very little of the grocery budget. I think I can manage to go with dairy, fruit, and veggies with the occasional stock pile item replacement. 

Most of the meals except for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day will be me using things up in the way of the many leftovers there still are in the freezer and the ready made meals in the larger freezer. 

I plan on shopping tomorrow so that I will not have to enter a store during the busy time leading up to Christmas. I am actually going to try and freeze milk in containers this time around. Should keep me out of the stores a bit longer.

So here are my menus for this week.

Monday

Leftover small sausage casserole.

Tuesday

Leftover pork made into a stir fry served over rice.

Wednesday

Lentil curry, over rice (I will make extra on Tuesday). Cooked frozen broccoli.

Thursday

Hot dogs, baked beans and perhaps the remainder of the mini hashbrowns.

Friday

Perogies, fried onions and sour cream.

Saturday

The last of the lentil curry or perhaps some pea soup and egg salad sandwiches.

Sunday

Chicken stuffed with broccoli and cheese, mashed potatoes, peas.

That will clear a bit out of the fridge freezer and make room for the leftovers from the upcoming week and Christmas. 

I asked Harvey if instead of a tossed salad I could make a coleslaw as the salad for Christmas dinner, mainly because the cabbage would last in the fridge from shopping this week until that meal. He said go for it. The sons should be quite okay with that as well. 

I have enough yogurt making supplies to make another batch of Greek style yogurt and when that runs out I will have toast, muffins, cinnamon buns, or oatmeal for my breakfasts. 

Pretty sure we will not starve if I keep out of the stores for the next while (would like to manage until after the new year). 

Everybody have a wonderful evening.

God bless.

Menu Monday

 The last partial week in the month of July. Time just seems to fly by when you are trying to slow down and enjoy the day.

Monday

Shrimp Pasta Salad. I was going to make cheese biscuits to go with, but have decided to make some garlic bread instead.

Tuesday

Baked Spaghetti, which is leftovers from before we went to visit Kris. I will probably make a coleslaw to go with.

Wednesday

Either leftover Shrimp Pasta Salad, or leftover Baked Spaghetti and coleslaw.

Thursday

Hamburgers, onion rings, and salad. 

Friday

Pancakes, in other words breakfast for supper. 

Saturday

The last of the Broccoli & Cheese stuffed Chicken, salad, and corn.

Sunday

Pork chops, potatoes and carrots done in tinfoil. The last of the salad or a new one will be made. Could be a cuke salad as those are coming in hot and heavy.

We are getting a great deal of rain this last while. Poor Harvey is worried he will never get in to weed his garden, and I am wondering when I will be able to weed the perennial garden. Still rain means we have a full water barrel, and we don't have to water plants. There is always a plus side to everything.

Everybody have a wonderful evening.

God bless.
