    Default August menu plan

    I know some of you like to see these, so I thought I'd share. I have the main ingredients for all these meals, minus some bread and fresh vegetables already in my stockpile. Or should I say hoard?

    chicken, mushroom risotto, green beans
    cubed steak, salad, sweet potato fries
    smoked turkey, veg
    grilled chicken, veg
    beef stir fry, rice, broccoli
    bbq wings, beans
    baked cod, salad
    corned beef sandwiches
    chicken, veg
    chili dogs, salad
    baked trout, veg, rice
    sweet and sour pork, rice
    ham & egg pita sandwich
    brats, veg
    chinese dumplings, rice
    spaghetti & meatballs
    baked fish, veg
    short ribs, carrots, rice
    kielbasa, pierogies
    grilled tuna, veg
    falafel pita, salad

    It's a little short of 31 days because some nights we will be at an event or a friend's house, and I have built in a couple leftover nights.

    I like your plan. I need to do the same. We just started eating at home again, I've had 3 meals in a row at home, we've been dealing with my MIL being sick and so we haven't been home to eat.

    tilapia with mango/peach salsa
    Soup and grilled cheese (2 meals)
    frozen pizza (I got free)

    We'll be eating out a couple of times for birthdays. We usually have a couple of leftover nites or fend for yourself nites.
