Menu Plan - 8.21.11

Still using more of the freezer cooking that I did in my menu plan this week.  Last week's menu went pretty well.  I am really getting used to not having to cook everyday.  It is so nice.

Food Storage

I am finally starting to have a plan for longer term food storage.  Last time food's storage was the 10 lbs. of pinto beans and this week I bought extra long grain rice.  I am having a really hard time making myself buy white rice even if it is just for food storage.  I just don't want to eat it.  We are so used to brown.  But brown does not keep for that long.


Menu Plan

Now onto my menu, as usual I keep breakfast and lunches simple.  We eat the same thing week after week for breakfast and lunch and we have not died of boredom yet.  I make a bunch of the blender batter waffles on Saturday to put in the freezer for the rest of the week.  I also cook my bacon in bulk and freeze to pull out and microwave during the week.

 Breakfast:

• Scrambled Eggs, turkey bacon and peaches
• Blender Batter Waffles
• Smoothies - made with frozen fruit (peaches, blueberries, strawberries), water and honey and toast
• Giant Breakfast Cookies and peaches
• Cereal and milk

Lunch:

• Homemade Uncrustables (using homemade bread and strawberry jam), carrots and applesauce
• Freezer brown bag burritos, corn and apples
• Salads
• Leftovers (we almost always have leftovers for lunch)

Supper:

• Slow Cooker Pineapple Pork Roast, rice and green beans
• Walking Tacos with onions, lettuce, tomatoes and corn and fruit
