Honestly, I don’t know how I’d survive if I didn’t have a menu plan during these hectic fall weeks! Monday: Spaghetti and Meatballs and a Green Salad I found a big bag of meatballs I had made and frozen while excavating things from the freezer on Saturday. . . I figured I better use them… Keep Reading
Menu plan 10/11
Welcome to another great fall week here at Frugal Upstate! As usual I’ve got soccer practices to work around on Thursday & Friday, Yankee Bill has a meeting on Monday & Tuesday night, and if the weather is nice on Saturday we’ll be outside (and unwilling to cook) on Saturday! Then of course Sunday is… Keep Reading
Menu Plan 10/4
Here is this week’s menu plan. What are you all eating this week? Monday: Baked Fish, Parmesan Buttered Noodles & Broccoli It’s a busy week-so I better get that fish meal in early. I have leftover pasta, so I’ll reheat that and add butter & parmesean cheese to dress it up a bit. And the… Keep Reading
Menu Plan Monday 9/27
This week I managed to work in two mostly meatless main courses, although no fully meatless meal. Do two partials make a whole? I didn’t, however, manage to work in a seafood based meal. Maybe because I don’t have any seafood in the house. Here we go! Monday: Spaghetti Carbonara, Tossed Salad, carrots & Garlic… Keep Reading

What’s on the menu at the Frugal Upstate Household this week? Monday: Pumpkin Black Bean Bake, Spanish Rice & Green Beans I am always fascinated by the pumpkin recipes that you find in magazines and online in the fall.

Monday: Potato/Ham patties, Roasted Potato Skins, Homemade Bread & Garden Salad. I am still trying to work… Keep Reading
Menu Plan 6/21
In this weeks menu plan I continue to try to use up the food from the freezer. Monday: Hamburger Curry & Rice I had to brown up a large family size package of ground meat from the semi defrosted freezer last week. Part of it made it into the lasagna, but the rest was frozen… Keep Reading
Menu Plan 6/14
Well someone left the door of the downstairs fridge/freezer cracked at some point this weekend. Everything inside appears to still be frozen, but there is a HUGE buildup of ice and frost on everything. . .so this week’s menu plan (and most likely next week’s) is dedicated to getting all that stuff eaten up so… Keep Reading
Menu Plan 5/17
Back on track with a menu plan this week! And I’ve got to say-I absolutely HAVE to be organized when it comes to meals this week. I have play rehearsal every night for the next two weeks-which requires me to be out the door by 5:45 most nights. Without a plan I think the family… Keep Reading
This Week’s Menu Plan
So I started this post on Monday. . . and then never finished it. Who would have thought two weeks off would make it so hard to get back into the swing of things! Monday: Chicken Pesto Soup & Homemade Bread I pulled some cooked chicken out of the freezer and tossed it in the… Keep Reading
