January
tends to be very cold here in beautiful Boise, Idaho.
It makes me want to cook a lot of hot and nourishing soups to comfort
and warm us. My family enjoys a really
good and flavorful soup. Paired with homemade
bread or biscuits and a nice fresh and crisp salad makes for a delicious well
rounded meal.
I usually
make a weekly soup meal throughout the year, however, when the weather is
bitterly cold outside I tend to make hot soups more often. Another benefit of these simple meals is that
I save a little money on the grocery budget.
Soup is a terrific budget stretcher.
Our meal
plan for January is as follows:
Taco Soup,
Cornbread w/ Honey Butter, Garden Salad
Cheese
Omelet, Toast, Sliced Peaches
Grilled
Chicken Sandwich, Potato Chips, Baby Carrots
Asian Beef
Noodle Soup, Cabbage Salad

a good plan to me and the girls heartily agree. They better, they helped me make this plan. 😃
What yummy
things do you plan to feed your family?
I just happened across your blog. I love it! I try to use many of the thrifty things you do as well... Makes me feel not so lonely, being thrifty. After a large family Christmas, I was digging through the trash for the sweater boxes that had been thrown away instead of recycled!
ReplyDeleteGood for you Deb! I would have done the same thing. So glad you found us! :)
DeleteOh your menu sounds good! I'm going to have to try the Thai soup.
ReplyDeleteIt is pretty yummy.

Great menu plan! My daughter and I made a chicken noodle soup on New Year's Day and I've been having leftover soup all week, along with other leftovers from the holidays. It's just me at home this month, so my plan is to eat as much as I can from the rather full freezer and pantry!
ReplyDeleteGood job! This time of year all I want is hot soup and some warm bread. Heats me right up. Especially after shoveling snow.
Deletesounds so good. Love soups and stews in the winter months.. Getting the kids to help plan, ensures everyone is happy with the meals.smile.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a wonderful week.
I agree. Have a super week Judy!
