I'm working on building at longer range meal plans, that take into account what's in our freezer & needs to be used up. So far, it's helping me remember to mix in freezer prepped meals with other dinners, so let's hope I can keep it up. The (f)s are something from the freezer
Here's what's on the menu this week:
- Friday - appetizer style meal, including the Trader Joes appetizer purchased for the Super Bowl (f). Likely with chicken wings (f)
- Saturday - Philly cheese steaks (f)
- Sunday - grilled chicken & rice
- Monday - pulled pork (f) on buns
- Tuesday - spaghetti & meatballs (f) + garlic bread (f)
- Wednesday - leftover chicken & rice
- Thursday - leftover spaghetti & meatballs + garlic bread (f)
- Friday - breaded shrimp (f) + salad
What about you? What's on your menu this week
I purchased a pork tenderloin from Costco and made 2 crockpots full of pulled pork to make 3 different ways, street tacos, BBQ pork sandwiches or Asian style with fried rice. Worked great as it made plenty of meals for the week with just one type of protein.
ReplyDeleteGood work! That's some great planning around the same item, and your menu sounds delicious. (HP)
DeleteThis is one of those “don’t know” weeks for me. Whatever’s happens-happens. Anne
ReplyDeleteYour meals always turn out sounding delicious, so it works for you! (HP)
DeleteDoing much the same as you. I pulled some meals from the chest freezer to use up this week. Eggplant Parma, and Potato Soup. Then there are a couple (well three) meals that will see us using up items from the fridge freezer. Easter will be a made from scratch meal (causing more leftovers to be stored).
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
I'll swing by for potato soup - it's my favorite! (HP)
