Menus for Jan 8-31

-
Okay,  I know I am behind in planning my menus but until the pantry got set up I wasn't sure what I had.  Here goes for the rest of the month:

8th - Chicken Stew
9th - Meatball Subs
10th - Pork Chops, mashed potatoes, veggie
11th - Chicken in crockpot, potatoes and veggie
12th - Spaghetti
13th - leftovers
14th - Soft Tacos
15th - Chicken, corn and veggie
16th - Pulled pork sandwiches, cole slaw
17th - Soup and grilled cheese sandwiches
18th - Fish, Peas and veggie
19th - Chicken, potatoes and veggies
20th - Taco Soup
21st - Pork Chops, peas and veggie
22nd - Chicken stir-fry and rice
23rd - Eating out
24th - Spaghetti
25th - Chili
26th - Ham, sweet potatoes and green beans
27th - Chicken, stuffing and veggie
28th - Hamburgers, cole slaw
29th - Baked Ziti
30th - Chicken fajitas
31st - leftovers or soup and sandwiches

These are subject to be moved around.  Most meals are just dh and I as dd is going back to school.  Ds, Ian works most nights.  Most leftovers will be used for lunches for David the following day.  Most of this is in the house already in the pantry or the freezer.  I think all I need to round out the month is milk and fresh fruit though I do have home canned fruit and some frozen fruit.  So maybe I can avoid buy fresh fruit.

I am still debating ordering the Angel Food this month.  I need to make a decision by this weekend.

    How funny! I just looked at your menu and we both had leftovers tonight!
    ours was good and so easy - I think I should cook double and just do leftovers more often.

New Year same challenges...

Today has been a busy day.  My daughter had all four wisdom teeth taken out and I had two doctors appointments - all before noon.  Thank goodness for her boyfriend who came to take her home for me and stayed until I got back.  My sweet daughter doesn't handle pain really well and we couldn't get her pain meds until I got back with the car.  Poor thing.  She just woke up very hungry so I have homemade chicken noodle soup on the stove smelling wonderful.  Dad and I will have grilled cheese sandwiches with it.  Perfect for a rainy night.   Well my dear son, Ian has officially withdrawn from college and has applied at a tech school.  He wants to study computer IT and found out that there is a nine month wait to get into the program.  So now he needs to find a day job to go with his night job.  His night job only gives him 20-27 hours a week and he will need more than that.  He is thinking of applying to substitute teach for the county.  His finance knows that this will delay the we

I am back .....

I am starting to feel a little better and now dh is getting sick again. Wow we just can't get a break. I basically missed the entire month of May. So sad. Just was our 28th wedding anniversary. I can't believe that it has been that long already. We went to Cheekwood in Nashville to walk through the gardens. It is absolutely beautiful. We walked for two and a half hours and still didn't see everything. It was an absolutely amazing day weather wise which really helped also. We ate an early dinner at Ruby Tuesdays and then home for the night. By the time we finally got home my feet had swelled but it was still a wonderful day. Today I am working on this month's budget. Boy is it going to be a tight month. My birthday is next Saturday, thought I don't expect anything since money is tight also David has a workshop on the 4th which he will be on his own for lunch and then another class at the end of the month though it is only half a day. We are hoping to b

Stretching Your Food Budget

Now, I don't claim to be an expert by any stretch of the imagination.  However, I have seen more then my fair share of lean months.  Back when dh worked at a private school his paycheck would only cover the mortgage, the car insurance and the life insurance.  I had to make everything else and if I had been sick or one of the children sick then my paycheck would be short.  In recent memory, I have had to feed four adults (my children are 19 and 21 now) on $50 a week.  Like everyone else, who has been to the supermarket recently, I have been concerned up the steady climb of prices and the smaller packaging attached to those price tags.  Most women, through choice or necessity, work outside the home now and don't have time for "cooking from scratch".  At church on Sunday I heard, "well of course you can do that (I don't remember what now) you stay home all day."  Now I am a SAHM due to my disability and in that I do have more time than some folks but there
