Menu Plan Monday

http://orgjunkie.com/menu-plan-monday-guidelines

Grandma arrived safely and her critters survived the drive (as well as the snow and rain)!  They're staying with us until Grandma finds a house all her own.  On top of that, I haven't grocery shopped sufficiently for at least a month--one round of grocery budget was gingerbread supplies, another was never used on food because it was used on Christmas gifts; I don't recall beyond that now.  So my upright freezer is running slim, which means it's time to sort the logistics for defrosting it--it has three pork roasts, about a third of a package of meatballs, several quarts of various homemade soups, and a number of freezer jam pints; plus some lunch containers, a ham steak, and a pound of bacon.  Everything else doesn't require freezing, I just keep them in there to prolong the shelf life for me: grains, dried produce, tea, MIL's coffee....

What I have for this week's menu, thus far:

Monday:
  • cereal and fruit
  • leftovers
  • chili and cornbread (the cornbread will be a rice milk attempt)
Tuesday:
  • oatmeal
  • sandwich
  • beef stew and biscuits (sans rutabaga because i don't have any right now; the biscuits will be a rice milk attempt)
Wednesday:
  • toad-in-a-hole (if I get bread made)
