Menu Plan

Here we go again! I stuck to last week all the way to Thursday before it sort of fell apart Then we wound up having folks over for the Super Bowl last night (kicked them all out at half time so the kiddos could go to bed) and I made two big crockpots of chili-White Chicken Chili and Venison Chilli.

Monday-Chicken Soup & Rolls

Made from the carcass of the roasted chicken, with a bunch of veggie odds and ends from the fridge thrown in. The rolls were free from the food pantry-they offer free bread to the whole community on Thursdays-donated from the local store’s bakeries. Since I worked on Thurs at the food pantry I picked some up. I used a bunch with the chili yesterday, but there is plenty left over to go with soup.

Tues-Pancakes et al.

Shrove Tuesday, so we’ll be going to the church pancake supper.

Wed-Hamburger Rice Casserole

I have hamburger/TVP mix that was left over from my defrosting it last week for the shepard’s pie. Then I have the leftovers from a huge pot of rice I made yesterday to go with the chili as well. So Hamburger Rice Casserole seems like a no brainer.

Thurs-Ginger Soy Fish, Canned Greens, Carrots & Rice or Pasta

I’ve made a vow to eat more fish. The canned southern seasoned greens are yummy and were bought on sale. Carrots will be from the 2 lb bag I bought. If there is rice still left, I’ll use that-otherwise I have plenty of pasta in the cupboard.

Fri-Chicken Stuffing Casserole, Cranberry Orange Relish, Frozen Veggie TBD.

There is still some of the chicken left from the roasted chicken-I served it with gravy over toast for lunch on Sunday. So the chicken and gravy, any leftover rolls, some venison sausage etc will make a nice casserole. The Relish is from Thanksgiving when i make a big batch of it and freeze it in zippered baggies.

Sat-Homemade Pizza, Pickles and Salad
