Meal plans for week of 10/16

Meal plans are the first start in kitchen management.   They take away a lot of stress and avoid the take out gremlins.

1. Soup/ bread 
2. Pizza
3. Pork stew/ rolls 
4. Insta Pot Chicken and Noodles , carrots 
5. Salmon, rice medley, mixed vegetables 
6. Tacos re-fried  beans
7. Breakfast for dinner.   

Notes :    

• Soup is a good meal when people are coming home at different hours.
• Pizza is a mainstay and cost 1.04 each 
• Pork stew is made from the ends of the pork loin where they taper down.   You can get two small roasts, stew, and center cut pork chops from a whole pork loin.   Cost is between 1.49 and 1.79 for RBP.   Its 1.99 for a half loin this week here. 
• Insta pot chicken and noodles.  - four minutes, thicken the stock after cooking.  
• Rice medley is a homemade mix with chicken stock and herbs.   
• Taco shells were purchased on a sale, basket coupon and coupons for .66
• Eggs have taken a hike, but we have dehydrated eggs.  Alternative is pancakes or waffles, a breakfast meat, and fruit in season.  Strawberries are really cheap here this week.
