Do you ever wonder what I make with all the
food that I buy? In the past, I have
discussed the general menu outline that I follow each week. In case you missed that post, click here.
A general outline makes planning much easier. For example, we normally have some form of
chicken on Tuesday. It is much quicker
to come up with a chicken recipe, than to look endlessly through an entire
cookbook! In November, we decided to
quit eating at Zoe’s Kitchen every Wednesday.
We still love Zoe’s, but missed having a hot meal for supper. We are saving our “eating out” money and putting
it towards Christmas gifts and holiday travel.
We will be eating out tomorrow night, because we will be in
Birmingham finishing up our Christmas shopping.
Listed below is my menu plan for the week. I always plan our meals around what is on
sale and what I already have in my pantry and freezer. Sometimes my plan will change, but 99% of the
time I stick to it. I cook enough food
for at least 4 people and we eat the leftovers at lunch the next day.
