I didn't host Thanksgiving this year, so I didn't build my menu around utilizing left overs as I would have, however Monday's Pot Pie one could subsitute turkey for chicken.
I did base my menu on what was available on *my pantry/freezer inventory sheet, with that list I came up with 3 soups for this week's supper. Funny how the cooler weather brings out the most frugal and flavorful meals...
BREAKFAST OPTIONS:
Baked Hot Oatmeal, Fresh Fruit, Whole Wheat Toast Points, Waffles, Kiefer Smoothies, Cold Cereal, Whole Wheat Bagels w/Cream Cheese & Peanut Butter Whip, English Muffins w/Peanut Butter & Raw Honey
Lunch Choices: Side Selections:
Hot Dog Butterflies Applesauce Veggie Chips
Munchie Plate Apple Slices Cottage Cheese
PB & J Roll-Ups String Cheese Nuts
Toasted Cheese Creamy Basil Tomato Soup
Chicken Nuggets Woven Wheat Crackers- Cheese Slices
Sandwich Kabobs Fruit Salad Skewers-Carrots & Dippings
Pizza Roll-Ups Sweet Potato Chips- Grapes
Tuesday:
Balsamic Pork Tenderloin, loaded twice baked potatoes, roasted zucchini yellow squash and mushrooms, with greens salad
Wednesday:
Sausage Gravy & Biscuits, Hash browns, and fresh Fruit on Skewers
Thursday:
Mexican Meal Kit From Freezer: (Carnita Meat, Salsa Verde, Refried Beans, & Salsa Rice) w/crunchy tacos
Friday:
Beef & Barley Soup w/ Salad & Homemade Refrigerator Yeasty Dinner Roll
Saturday:
Crab Stuffed Flounder {Using Flouder and crab cakes from freezer storage} w/homemade tartar sauce, & Creamy Broccoli Rice
Snack Fancies:
Smoked Almonds, Irish Cheese, Grapes, Woven Wheat Crackers, Maple Cookies, Yogurt, Dried Strawberries, Raisins, Popcorn, Chocolate Chips, Whole Milk, Cottage Cheese, Whole Wheat Bagels, Laughing Cow Cheese Spread, Peanut Butter Filled Celery Logs w/Raisin Ants, Rice Cakes, Whole Wheat Graham Crackers, Cold Cereal, Apples, Cutie Oranges, Bananas
*To help my family stay on budget and prevent my freezer items from getting freeze burnt I make a spread sheet so I can inventory the contents of both my freezer and non-perishable pantry stables. This simple step also helps simplify meal planning & grocery shopping lists for the week ahead. The KEY is to remember to mark off what has been used and add new items as they are purchased.
