Some of these like Salisbury steak, and taco meat will have to wait until after we receive our cow but with having some extra time today. I wanted to get started as well as use up some various items in the fridge.\u00a0 This should allow enough flexibility to eat what we feel like and also speed most dinners along.\u00a0 If I am able to store more that 100 than that is even better.\u00a0 \u00a0One more side story, I needed to get a baked ziti in the freezer to use on our beach trip this summer. When I checked the freezer and cabinets for spaghetti sauce, I realized we were completely out.\u00a0 \u00a0As I was scanning the internet, I did find a bolognaise recipe, so I decided to make that in the crockpot to use for the baked ziti!\u00a0 After making the baked ziti, I still had almost 40 oz left so that was the reason I decided to go ahead and make the million-dollar spaghetti pie.\u00a0 Today, I have made 2-million-dollar spaghetti pies, 2 chicken\/broccoli rice casseroles and prepared the baked potatoes for Wednesday. (Washed and wrapped- we are going to add cheese, sour cream and sloppy joe mix to the top). I also went ahead and made up the dry ingredients for baked oatmeal. This makes it very easy to make breakfast.<\/p>\n<p>Official food preparation count: 9<br \/>\nBreakfast count : 8<\/p>\n<p>Breakfast- Saturday- BLT sandwiches (Matt made bacon on his new Blackstone.)\u00a0 \u00a0 Sunday- Eggs and sausage (on the Blackstone) Monday &#8211; Cinnamon Toast sticks from Sam&#8217;s Club. Tuesday- Peanut butter baked oatmeal (I also need to prepare another 12 bags to use during the school year).\u00a0 \u00a0Wednesday Gravy biscuits (I found frozen biscuits and need to use the milk) Thursday, Friday- find your own with what we have. I did buy cereal and pop tarts so this should be easy!<\/p>\n<p>Lunch- Saturday-Grilled Italian sausage with onions and peppers Sunday- Lunch at friends. For the week, Lunch will either be\u00a0 \u00a0sandwiches\/ roll up or quesadillas or left overs or hot pockets.<\/p>\n<p>Dinner- Saturday- Lily was at work, Kendall and Zach were at Haley&#8217;s so I had chips and salsa\u00a0 \u00a0Sunday-Tortellini Alfredo, Monday- Broccoli and Chicken casserole.\u00a0 Tuesday Pasta salad\u00a0 \u00a0 Wednesday- Baked potatoes with sloppy joe mix.\u00a0 Thursday- Grilled Chicken Salad Friday-Dinner at Red Robins for Kendall&#8217;s birthday.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Happy Summer!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This describes Zach completely!\u00a0 I will admit I stole this off Facebook this morning!
