We are entering week 5 of our “stay at home order.” I am very hopeful that we have four more weeks until the school go back to regular classes. We are continuing to eat our of our freezers and pantry for the most part. I have decided that I am not going to Costco until I absolutely have to or May 1st. We are on our last roll of paper towel so it may force my hand a bit. I really don’t want to go by myself as it is a forty-five minute drive each way but we shall see. Yesterday, Easter, the kids all decided that they want to be more involved in cooking. In fact, they have decided that they will each be in charge of dinner one day a week. We will give it a try and see what happens. I did add the stipulation that you had to use the items/ingredients that you have on hand. We do have a significant amount of left-overs so they will appear regularly on the menu. A final difference you will see this week is that the kids are eating lunch. Meal delivery is on Spring Break as well.
Breakfast– Saturday French Toast casserole. Sunday- Sausage and cheese cresant rolls and cream cheese cresant rolls( I will share this recipe tomorrow) . Monday- Left-overs from the fridge, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday-choice of breakfast muffins, eggs, sausage, pancakes, cereal or grits. –Still have not gotten around to a baked oatmeal but really do need to make one this week.
Lunch- Saturday- Left-overs Sunday- Left-over from Fridge. I did make some ham salad and Matt made pimento cheese this week as well so those will be choices for lunch along with a salad and of course left-overs.
Dinner- Saturday- Spaghetti and meatballs. I ended up reading the recipe wrong and made enough extra spaghetti noodles that we had a full meal on Saturday. We are currently out of bacon and meatballs. Sunday- Ham, fried apples and Mac and cheese from Cracker Barrel, cream corn, carrots, squash casserole, green bean casserole, deviled eggs and potato salad. Monday- Left-overs Tuesday-Mini Tacos Wednesday- Green pepper soup (Kendall is in charge) , Thursday-Chicken pasta (new recipe) Lily in charge Friday-Beef and broccoli in crockpot (Zach in charge).
