Meal Plans

Meal plans help assure you use up what perishables you have.  They are a tool to make dinner time less hectic.   You can schedule easy dinners the nights that you know a lot is going on. 

1. Soup, cheezy rolls, 
2. Pizza 
3. Hamburgers, oven fries, salad
4. Chicken enchiladas, rice, beans 
5. Tuna cassarole, peas and carrots 
6. Pork stew over noodles, California blend veggies, salad 
7. Pumpkin pancakes, turkey bacon, fruit plate.  

Notes: 

• Soup is an easy dinner when family has to eat at different times.   
• Pizza is always a favorite. 
• Hamburgers were purchased at qfc for three dollars a pound.  I am anxious to try the applewood smoked ones. 
• Chicken enchaladas are made with chicken from the ribs of chicken breasts.  Sour cream green sauce is easy and inexpensive.   
• Tuna cassarole....make with cream soup base . 
• Pork stew is made from the ends of the pork loin.   Cook noodles once, use twice.   
• Pumpkin pancakes -a fall favorite.    Turkey bacon bought on sale.
