This week we are excited to have LOTS of family coming for a visit! I love visiting with family, and in recent years, I have really come to cherish that time together even more than I did before. So, I also enjoy cooking for my family when they come!
To see what I would make this week, I pulled out my trusty freezer inventory to check what I had in stock. I also cleaned out my garden this past weekend (freeze warning imminent), so I have some fresh produce and I am canning some too. Also, . . . → Read More: Menu Plan Monday – October 4

The weather is getting colder and the leaves are beautiful here.
It’s definitely cooking weather and I’m feeling more inclined to do more baking. I have a list of recipes to try about a mile long, and seem to find more every week! And yet, I am a creature of habit and tend to like to make the same things, over and over and over again. They are our family’s favorites. And, they are also what’s in the freezer
This week:
Monday – Leftover Buffet
Tuesday – Spaghetti with Homemade Tomato Sauce

I can hardly believe it is another Monday! Why does the weekend go by so fast? We had company visiting this weekend and had a wonderful time. They were so impressed at my freezer inventory! I would whip it out every time I got ready to cook something, and I would create their “menu” of foods for them to choose from what they would like to eat.
I definitely went on a bit of a baking spree with our company here. Although we did eat out at our favorite local joint, I also made Breakfast Sandwiches . . . → Read More: Menu Plan Monday – September 20

Another week, another menu! We are still eating from the freezer this week. In fact, I should have a little impromptu contest to see how little I can spend on groceries this month while we eat from our pantry!
It’s only because I took the time to create an inventory first, then planned meals accordingly that we are able to eat so much from our freezer (because we know what is in there!).
So, here’s what is on tap for us this week:
Steak on the Grill Tater Tot Casserole Lentil Dish Cheesy Beef Macaroni Pizza . . . → Read More: Menu Plan Monday – September 13

Happy Labor Day all!
Another week, another menu, and another week eating from the freezer!
I was so shocked when I did our pantry and freezer inventory – it’s really an eye-opening experience, and I had not done one in quite a while. I was amazed at all there was to eat, right in our own home! That’s in part thanks for freezer cooking. I kept putting things in to the freezer, but not taking them out! HA!
So, this week continues a week of eating out of the freezer and pantry.

It’s Menu Plan Monday!! And, this week is super simple!
Over the weekend, I completely cleaned out and inventoried my pantry and freezer. (Post coming soon on organizing your pantry!)
I found LOTS of leftovers when I went through everything (thanks to freezer cooking), so our menu plan for this week is:
LEFTOVERS!!
With children back in school, and myself on the CLEAN program (which I found leftover Lentil Dish in the freezer!), meals will be simple this week. Pick, heat and serve!
To your success,
Dr. Laura
