Menu for November 7

Things have been crazy here on the cooking front the past couple of weeks. I haven’t done much in the way of planning and more meals than usual have been thrown together at the last minute. I can’t stand it when that happens because it stresses me out.

I am jumping back on the meal planning bus this week in hopes it will be one less thing to worry about.

• Ham and split pea soup with cornbread muffins
• Pancakes and smoked sausage.
• Tandoori chicken, roasted potatoes and broccoli.
• Spaghetti and artisan bread. I’ll make the dough up a couple of days ahead of time and store in the fridge to let the flavor develop.
• Potato soup and rolls. Not sure if it will be my baked potato or my stove top version.
• Tostadas
• Soup buffet. I can guarantee with soup being on the menu twice there will be leftover soup.

I am hoping to get several of these recipes photographed so I can post them here. I do have pictures on my camera that I need to edit and write the posts that go with them.

 

What’s on your menu this week?

Menu Plan for October 3

Today I am sharing some of my favorite budget friendly recipes. The ones I turn to when the unexpected happens and the grocery budget is a little smaller than usual.

• Tostadas. Perfect for the beans and rice budget and most importantly it tastes good.
• Cheesy Vegetable Soup. Perfect for cooler nights especially when served with Southern Style Cornbread
• Sloppy Joe Potatoes. I prefer these to traditional sloppy Joe’s.
• Hashbrown Casserole. Add some shredded cooked chicken, diced ham or smoked sausage to turn it from a side dish to a main course.
• Beans and fried potatoes. Okay so this one is a regular on the menu because it’s pretty easy and tasty.
• Chicken and Dressing. I usually serve this with mashed potatoes and green beans.
• Barbecue Chicken Spaghetti. This was created during one of my eat from the pantry challenges.

Add some in season fresh produce or on sale frozen and we eat like kings on a pauper’s budget.
