This week is a very short menu plan since I’m heading out to Nashville to speak at and attend the Blissdom conference! I have learned to accept reality when I go out of town-Yankee Bill is just not going to cook. Freezer meals will cost more than the meals I usually cook-but are way less than eating out!
Monday: Homemade Pigs in a Blanket & Salad
I have half of a package of hotdogs left in the fridge, and that will be plenty to feed us since Yankee Bill will be eating supper in town before pool. There is also almost a full bowl of salad leftover from dinner last night. All I have to do is whip up a batch of biscuits and wrap them around the hotdogs-the rest will be saved for Tuesday night.
Tuesday: Salmon Loaf, Green Beans, Citrus Rice & Biscuits.
By request of Yankee Bill 🙂 I can make the Salmon Loaf in the morning and then refrigerate it until it’s time to pop it in the oven! The rice will be cooked in my rice cooker, which means I can start the pot and it will cook & stay warm for 3 hours.
Wednesday: Ridiculously Easy Crockpot Roast, Carrots & Rice
I fly out on Wednesday afternoon but I will have the ridiculously easy crockpot roast on and cooking before I go (the carrots will be in with the meat), so all Yankee Bill has to do is warm up the leftover rice and dish it out.
Thursday: All Day Macaroni & Cheese
I will have the All Day Macaroni & Cheese set up and in the fridge in a second crockpot liner (lucky I have two) so Yankee Bill can just toss it in the crockpot and turn it on low in the morning. Tada, easy peasy dinner.
Friday, Saturday & Sunday: This will be a combo of Frozen Turkey Dinner (family size), Frozen Pizza & dinner at Nana’s.

That is interesting what you all call pigs in a blanket. Around here, it is breakfast sausage inside pancakes.
Here is my menu for the week:
