When cleaning out and
reorganizing our freezers last month I pulled quite a few items forward to use
up before they hit the point of no return.
Rotating our food supply works wonders in curbing waste, especially
freezer burn when it comes to frozen foods.
Our menu plan for last month and this month overlapped a bit as a result
which is completely fine. Flexibility
with meal plans is also very important to good success.
This is what is planned
for our September meal plan and even though we've already prepared some of
these meals I do have last month's meals I haven't prepared yet to fall back
on.
Pork Chops with Rice
& Onion Gravy
Turkey Sandwiches
Steak
Beef Stew
Turkey Burgers
Asian Beef Noodle Soup
Meat Loaf & Scalloped Potatoes
Chicken & Vegetable
Stir Fry
I have the usual suspects
listed for snack and breakfast ideas.
French toast, waffles, eggs & bacon or sausages, oatmeal, cereal,
granola, muffins are pretty typical fare.
I make a lot of keto versions of some of these items for myself. I also have a couple ideas for some desserts.
What have you got planned
for meals in the coming month? Do you
find your meal planning changes as you head into fall? What are your favorite fall meals?
We are in the thick of CSA deliveries from Peaceful Belly. In order to use up what we get each week:
ReplyDeleteGreek Salad (cucumbers, tomatoes, basil, feta, EVOO, Balsamic Vinegar)
Roasted zucchini, eggplant, peppers along with grilled chicken or salmon or pork loin steak from the stocked freezer. We'll do this 3 times/week right now.
Cheese Quesadilla and Mac salad.
Pesto Pasta with roasted veg (garden zucchini, eggplant, peppers) Lots of pesto in the freezer from CSA.
After these, we'll put together meals from what is still visible in the fridge/freezer. We could easily go a month with no purchases so I rarely worry about meals. We're "mood eaters" more than "plan eaters" ;-)
Sounds good. Enjoy.
DeleteThank you for linking to the crack pot chicken recipe! Ran across the recipe online but never bookmarked it. I don't have a slow cooker or crockpot, but hoping low and slow stovetop cooking on my old revere ware dutch oven will work out! Totally agree with you on the need for flexibility--some mighty tasty dishes come from unexpected combinations of food needed to be used up!
ReplyDeleteYes indeed. I wouldn't be surprised if that is how the chicken recipe came about. LOL
DeleteYour meals sound good! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to try the crack chicken and the curry chicken, and I need to make the egg roll in a bowl again too.
All three of those are favorites of ours. :o)
