This Week's Menu
Hey, before you get all into the menu, have you entered the giveaway for Choffy brewing chocolate?
This week I start scoring standardized test essays for a testing company. That is what I'll be doing with virtually all of my spare time, so our meals will be simpler, or else they will be things I made ahead for the freezer. We continue to plan using items we have on hand in the pantry and/or the freezer, with reduced spending (average of just under $20 a week) for fresh items and a few sale items. Here's what I have in mind:
Breakfasts:
cereal with milk, fruit
yogurt with homemade granola and fruit
egg salad on toast, orange slices
Lunches:
leftovers from supper
smoothies w/yogurt
peanut butter on wheat, celery sticks, applesauce
Snacks:
snack basket items (containers of trail mix, pretzels, cheese crackers, dried fruit, chex mix, etc.)
fresh fruit or applesauce
yogurt w/granola
Suppers:
homemade lasagna, steamed broccoli, foccacia, grapes
chili from the freezer with rice, oranges
takeout pizza (free w/voucher) garden salad, pudding
smoked turkey, stuffing, steamed carrots, jello
taco salads, apples
scrambled eggs w/vegetables & cheese, sliced spam, toast, oranges
tuna sandwiches, pretzels, pickle & veggie tray, apples
These meals should go together fairly quickly. I will get to try out the new-to-me rice cooker/vegetable steamer, and none of these meals require a lot of prep or attention.
