Menu Plan through January 31

The following is my menu plan through the end of the month. Much of the meat is coming from the freezer, as we need to get it emptied out. I will not be eating most of the carb selections, but try to fit my diet around what everyone else is eating. I didn't type in the days of the week, but the plans run Monday through Sunday.
Warm regards,
Shannon

Menu Planning Made Easy

I love it when someone makes my life just a little easier.

I was perusing one of my favorite blogs, A Happy Home, and came across a post recommending Menus 4 Moms. This is an awesome resource for inexperienced menu planners as well as us "old pros." If you are just beginning to plan menus, you can use her FREE menus, recipes, and shopping lists just the way they are. If you want, or need to, however, you can just use them as an outline. Even better news, as I looked over some of the menus, I saw that they would fit very well into a rather frugal grocery budget.

There are many terrific food related articles on the Menus 4 Mom website. I spent quite a while just exploring it. This site is going onto my sidebar as a really "Awesome Resource!"

Enjoy!

Warm regards,
Shannon

Thanksgiving Menu

Here is the menu for Thanksgiving at our house.

roasted turkey (15 pounds)
sage dressing (some in the bird and some in a pan)
pan gravy
mashed potatoes (Yukon golds)
sweet potato casserole (lots of marshmallows)
green bean casserole
cloverleaf rolls
cranberry relish
stuffed eggs
olives, pickles
orange fluff
apple pie
German chocolate pecan pie

This is a very traditional menu for us. The only new additions this year are the pies. After 16 years of marriage, I just found out my husband likes pecan pie. I was going to make a Pumpkin Delight, which I like better than pie, but I my husband doesn't really like it. I think I will post the recipe for you in case you want to make one yourself.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Warm regards,

Shannon
