Menu Monday-Batch Cooking

Hello and Welcome.  I hope your day is getting off to a great start!

Today I am sharing my menu plans for the week. 

And a few plans for Batch Cooking this week.

Here's the Menu

Monday-Sunday night I cooked Chicken & Dumplings so we will have a bowl.  I planned to serve with some fresh veggies but there are none in the house.  Canned Green Beans and canned Corn which I'll kick up by making Fritters will be the meal tonight!    There are Cucumbers for the Cowboy and I'll have some Cherry Tomato's from the garden.

Speaking of the garden I have Okra.

Only 1.  I sure hope more pop out soon!

Tuesday Pulled Pork batch cooked from the freezer Twice Baked Potato's from the freezer and Ranch Style Beans

Wednesday I had another plan but things change I'll be making Potato Soup and prepping more Potatoes for Hash Browns and Baking a few for the freezer for another night.

My Potato Soup will be the base for Clam Chowder for Friday

Thursday Chicken Taquitos, Spanish Rice and Pinto Beans from the freezer. Yes I did make Pinto's and they were so good.  I finally figured out the key!

Friday Clam Chowder, Fish Sticks and Onion Rings

My plans don't really include fresh veggies this week.  

It is still a couple weeks before payday so I am being as creative and as frugal as I can.

So for Batch Cooking this week  I'll prep and freeze some Russet Potato's

I also plan to thaw some Ground Beef and cook it to freeze in packets for Taco's and Spaghetti.  

I have plans to buy my produce and prep it to cook or prepare in batches and have ready in the fridg. for meals.

When I have plenty of Eggs I scramble a big skillet full so
I have 2 days worth ready for Breakfast.
Making bacon in the oven

Batch cooking really works for me right now.  Most days I feel like I am chasing my tail!  I try to stay on top of things and keep the Cowboy with good food and happy environment.
