This week, we are going to continue our doubling of recipes to get more cooked meals in the freezer for when the baby comes. The boys were a great help last week, with Nick, our oldest making the lasagna with minimal help from me. WTG Nick!! This week is going to be COLD, so we will focus on soups and other warming meals, most of which freeze beautifully. As usual, we include all locally grown or homegrown items in bold. Here is our menu:
Monday - White Bean Chicken Chili (making a double batch - will freeze extra), green salad
Tuesday - Caramelized Onion and veggie omelettes (gotta use up those eggs!! The hens are laying an average of a dozen a day now) and sliced oranges
Wednesday - French Onion Soup (local beef was used to make the stock - making extra to freeze), grilled veggie and cheese panini
Thursday - Chicken Noodle Soup (hoping to try our hand at homemade noodles - making extra to freeze), green salad
Friday - Cheese Burgers (will make and freeze extra burgers), mashed sweet potatoes, apple slices
Saturday - Chipotle & Beef Chili (will freeze extra), cornbread, green salad
Sunday - Leftovers
I am also hoping to do some baking and get some of that into the freezer. My boys are big snackers and it will be nice not to have to think about snacks for a few weeks with a newborn. Do you have any favorite snack recipes that freeze well?
Menu Plan Monday
