Menu Plan 4/22
My menu's have been very hit and miss lately. Last weekend my family was all recovering from strep, and then I came down with it too, so last week we went day by day and have a lot of breakfast food.
We had gotten a basket of produce, and were able to work a lot of it into our meals (like we made banana bread pancakes that I had found on pinterest). We did not order our Bountiful Basket this past week, so I'm still trying to use up a few items we have on hand, and scraping the pantry and freezer until payday (friday) and new basket (saturday).
Here was last week's produce basket:
Most of this just went into a big salad, of which we have about half a mixing bowl left in the fridge. I basically have mushrooms, zucchini, and the anaheim peppers left to use, and some apples and oranges.
So here is the plan:
Monday: Meatballs and mashed potatoes (both from freezer) and frozen peas.
Tuesday: Crockpot Beef Stroganoff (I have stew meat in the freezer. I have mushrooms. I have cans of cream soup that need to get used.)
Wednesday: Leftovers
Thursday: Ham and bean soup (in freezer)
Friday: Tilapia and I will figure out some sides (hoping the anaheims will last until then...want to stuff with cream cheese and wrap in bacon.
I'm only planning until basket day this week.
I am also planning on making zucchini bread (never tried this before) and some homemade crescent roll dough to make pigs in blankets with some little smokies sausages I got on sale. Those will freeze well (if we don't devour them all, which we likely will) and will be great for lunches/lunchboxes.
What's on your menu this week?

Instead of making zucchini bread, try making the same dough in cupcake holders...the kids will love it.
You must have read my mind. I was actually just thinking about doing that because my little one is pretending it's her birthday and wanting me to make her some cake LOL
