Good Eats

Sunday night we are expecting the weather to get pretty bad. It's going to be cold and windy with snow and ice in the forecast. I didn't make it to the store like I was hoping...so I'm trying to be resourceful with my meal planning this week. So, I dug into my freezer and cupboards to find our meals for the week. The following list is what I came up with:

Breakfast options:
toasted mini bagels
cereal with milk
oatmeal with toast
Fruit Smoothies (with frozen broccoli snuck inside)
pancakes (also a dinner option)

Dinner (all can carry over to be lunch options)
Black Bean Soup with corn muffins
Mini Pizzas on biscuits
Chicken Noodle Soup
Simple Turkey Chili
Savory Vegetable Beef Stew
Sloppy Joe's with oven baked fries
Slow Cooker BBQ Pork Chops over brown rice

My grocery list for the week:
bananas
oranges
apples
green pepper
tomato sauce
onion
yogurt

I don't know what this says about me regarding my kitchen organization. All I can say is, sometimes I plan a meal that doesn't get made. When that happens, I end up with a lot of meat in my freezer.

I hope you all are staying warm during this cold winter.

sounds delightful! It seems like you have plenty of good options in your kitchen, minus the fresh things and so often we forget to go back and use them - perhaps the snow is a blessing in disguise ;)
