1st week menu

|
If anyone is interested in playing along, here is what I have planned for our family for this week. Personally I enjoy reading others' ideas and seldom follow them exactly, it tends to get my creativity going, maybe I can do the same for you.

Breakfast and Lunch at our house is are very much "free range fridge" meals. With an all adult household each on their own schedule this is just more practical. I add to the stockpile when things are on sale that I have coupons for and bake easy to heat things as needed.

SO starting out this week stockpiled items available for breakfast, lunch and snacks: Milk, yogurt, cheese (Parmesan, American, cheddar, cream), eggs, lunch meat, peanut butter, roasted almonds, tuna, strawberries, raspberries, apples, canned fruit (mandarin oranges, pineapple), broccoli florets, tomatoes, potatoes, frozen muffins (will be baking some more this week, almost out), cold cereal, oatmeal, waffles, pita pockets, tortillas, bagels, granola bars, crackers, popcorn.

And suppers
Pork roast (save left overs for Tuesday), mashed potatoes, gravy, steamed brocolli
Grilled chicken (save left overs for other meals); Yellow rice; Tomatoes, green pepper, sweet onions in raspberry vinaigrette dressing
Pork fried rice (I'm using rice cooked last week because the secret to good fried rice is to start w/ cold rice will use up left over roast, any leftover veggies, add additional veggies as needed)
Italian beef (make extra for the the freezer) on crusty bread w/ coleslaw
Tuna melt in pita pockets, grilled tomatoes w/ parmasaen cheese
Macaroni and cheese, smoked sausage, green beans
