Last week I realized that I'd already used 2/3 of my grocery budget and the month is only half over, but the good news is, my freezer is stuffed with food. Therefore, I'll be pulling things out of the freezer to eat this week and maybe putting a few things back in.
Monday: bean burritos & salad (I agree with the comments that these burritos are a little bland. Next time I think I will mix some salsa into the rice or add something else to spice them up a bit.)
Tuesday: broccoli calzones (made pizza bread last week instead, will probably freeze half the calzones)
Wednesday: spinach manicotti & garlic bread (I made a whole package of manicotti a while ago and since we can't eat that much, I froze the individual filled manicotti. To freeze the pasta, I simply put them back in their packaging, wrapped with plastic and put in a freezer bag. You can thaw the manicotti overnight in the refridgerator, but you don't have to, it will just take longer to bake. To serve, I just take out 2-3 for each of us and then bake in pasta sauce & top with cheese - 375°, 30-45 min. or until heated through.)
Thursday: simple roast chicken & potatoes
Friday: chicken noodle soup from leftover chicken (hope to have enough to freeze some)
Saturday/Sunday: baked potato bar/leftovers/eat out?
Welcome!
My name is Rose and I created this blog to share what I am learning about cooking, keeping house, saving money and more. I hope you find the information here simple, helpful and encouraging.
Please share what you know or are learning in the comments. I'd be happy to hear from you.
