Welcome to Menu Plan Monday!
I did something a little unusual for the weekend's menu. I cooked a small ham and a small turkey on Friday and we ate that through the weekend until I made a big pot of white beans with the leftover ham for Sunday. I also made a cake for less than a $1 from mark-downs I got after Christmas.
Remember me telling you last week that I bought a bunch of pie shells on clearance during my once-a-month-shopping? I used them to make six pies as well: 2 Chocolate Silk, 2 Pumpkin, and 2 Oatmeal Pies. The kids got these for dessert, snacks, and even breakfast! I made a Green Bean Casserole, green peas, and we had lots of leftover cole slaw, and some Ranch Dip with raw veggies.
Weekend Projects: Pomegranate Jelly (used this recipe- had 3 large pomegranates=2 cups juice, finished off with water, also added 1 T lemon juice) and Beet Kvass
My Frugal Tip of the Week: Plan your menus down to the snack! That way, you consider all of your fresh food, pantry items, and baking- early in the week so nothing gets wasted and you can do baking in advance according to your schedule rather than someone begging for food-NOW! ;-)
