Sorry. I haven’t posted about our meals for too long. I’m gonna recap now and show the plan for the rest of the month.
I’ve decided to use one of my old tricks and have specific meals on certain nights.
- Monday will alternate between Chicken ala King over biscuits and Venison Gravy over Potatoes or Rice. I’ll give directions and pictures next time I make those.
- Wednesdays will be tacos. The kids have Kids of Faith at church and tacos are something they love, so we’ll be able to finish fast and get out the door.
- Fridays will be Pizza night. Nathan is old enough now to play some fun family games so we will alternate game night with movie night on Fridays. The pizza will also come with raw veggies and dip and fresh fruit when we have it.
- Saturday lunch will be sack lunches. We seem to be doing more outside the home on Saturdays, so this will work well with the budget.
- Sunday lunch will alternate between beans and rice with cornbread and chili with cornbread. My dear Mother-in-Love often likes to have us over for lunch after church, we like those days. I always have the makings for my lunches in the pantry or freezer, so they will keep or we will have those for supper.
A recap of what we’ve had for supper:
- 1/2 chicken tacos (meat precooked from freezer) Rice
- 1/3 slow cooker venison roast (meat from freezer) mashed potatoes, peas (both from pantry)
- 1/4 chicken taco rice bowls – a mess really, but good
- 1/5 HUNKA
- 1/6 ham & cheese crescent rolls and cinnamon rolls, this was a movie night so easy food
- 1/7 sloppy joes with ground venison, fried potatoes and green beans
- 1/8 we had lunch with MIL – she made a wonderful taco soup and we also had this for supper
- 1/9 It was our 13th anniversary, so MIL took to kids to one restaurant to eat and Matt and I went to Red Lobster
- 1/10 tuna noodle hotdish (this is a pantry staple here), brownies
- 1/11 Dirty rice (from a box, I want to find a good recipe) I added leftover venison roast and extra peas too.
- 1/12 Potatoes venison soup, I used up the rest of the cooked up ground venison for this, it was a hit.
- 1/13 Sam’s Club deli pizza (a fave) and fresh fruit and carrots and ranch
- 1/14 Sack Lunches and HUNKA for supper. We have a lot of leftovers to eat up.
The rest of January:
- 1/15 Beans & Rice and Cornbread
- 1/16 Salmon patties, Rice and Peas
- 1/17 Venison BBQ roast, Potatoes and Veggies
- 1/18 Tacos and Spanish Rice
- 1/19 BBQ venison sandwiches, more fruit and veggies with dip, chips too if we already have them
- 1/20 Pizza ( and a movie?)
- 1/21 HUNKA for supper
- 1/22 Sack lunch right after church on the way out of town for a party, supper will be whatever we grab before Matt and I go to Bible study.
- 1/23 Ground Venison Gravy over Potatoes (think chicken ala king, but ground venison)
- 1/24 Chicken Alfredo and Green Beans ( I have home canned chicken breast for this)
- 1/25 Taco Night
- 1/26 HUNKA
- 1/27 Pizza Night
- 1/28 Tuna Noodle Hotdish
- 1/29 Lunch: Chili and Cornbread Supper: HUNKA
- 1/30 Chicken ala King over Biscuits
- 1/31 Pull some meat from the freezer and slow cook it. Ha, I’ll change this when I see what’s in there.
So this is long enough now. I hopefully will post some individual meals periodically.
