planning for the week- and the cabin

Last week went well!  Got everything that I had planned made, and it took very little shopping to do it.   This week's challenge- feeding four hungry teens for the weekend on $30 each.  (that's Friday through Monday, folks)  Gonna cut costs by baking bread this week, and eating pantry foods.  Unfortunately,  the cabin's freezers failed last month due to a power outage. so there is very little in the pantry there.  Additional challenge this week- One of the teens has decided to be a vegetarian, and does not eat meat, fish or eggs. Does eat cheese and tofu.

Sunday  pork chops

Monday soup & sandwich

Tuesday out

Wednesday Waffles, eggs, sausage,bacon
Thursday leftovers

Friday pizza bar- make your own 'zza
Saturday calico beans
Sunday mexican bar

Monday leftovers

Dinner was delicious....

but the photos were a disaster.  We'll try again Wednesday for good pics of food.  It can't run away- how can getting good photos be this difficult?

The leftover curry is frozen in an ice cube tray.  the old fashioned kind with the removable insert.  that will make it easy to bag and store in the freezer

Dinner tonight , and every Tuesday is out at a friend's house.  There are bout 20 of us that meet weekly for a meal and anime..

The best tip I found yesterday?  use your stand mixer with the paddle attachment to shred cooked meat.  Worked like a charm, as long as I didn't overload the bowl.  Who Knew?!
