Weekly Menu

My husband gets paid on Wednesdays, so I generally try to do my errands including my grocery shopping on Thursdays. So here is my menu for the remainder of this week, and the whole of next week. I am doing some extra cooking for the freezer a little every week, at least one meal a week, and perhaps one desert as well. I will post my menu, along with a breakdown of my daily kitchen to do's.

All the asterisks(*) mark a freezer meal.

Friday-Start salmon patties early, leave out enough for dinner, freeze the rest. Thaw sausage for homemade pizza. Thaw 2 pounds of ground turkey for meatballs.

Saturday-Baking Day-Make bread for the week. Make peanut butter cookies, leave out 1-2 dozen, freeze the rest. Make several pint jars of jalapeno jelly. Make 2 crusts for pizza. Make meatballs and cook for Sunday.

Sunday-Start meatballs in crockpot before church, we will usually have a late lunch or early supper. Thaw 2 whole chickens for Monday.

Monday-Start chickens early. Save rest of chicken for pot pie. Thaw 6lbs of ground turkey for Tuesday.

Tuesday-Make 4 meatloafs, eat 1 for dinner, freeze the rest.

Wednesday-leftover night, clean out the fridge

Thursday-Make crust and assemble chicken pot pie

Friday-Start lentils early

Saturday-Baking day-make bread, deserts, and granola as needed. Make 2 pizza crusts. Do preserving if needed.

I'm going to be doing as much baking and freezing, and preserving as I can. We usually give food as gifts for the holidays and the baby will be arriving at around that time, so I want to be a little more prepared.

We're off to the store! Have a blessed day!

Sounds like you have it all well planned :- ) I like to know in advance too what will be needed for the week as far as menus and cooking goes. It also helps me plan for the weeks shopping.
