Menu Plan Wednesday

I took the summer off from menu planning, but boy am I ready to get back to it. My grocery budget does much better when I sit down and plan what we're going to eat.
I took a look at my freezer inventory, and realized that I had a good bit of meats in there that I've racked up in the reduced section of my local butcher shop. So much in fact that I didn't have to buy a single meat this week, and barely any groceries either when I paired everything up with what I already had in my pantry & fridge. I love grocery trips like that. My bank account is awful partial to them too.
Here is what our menu is looking like for this week.

3-Ingredient Shrimp Scampi-ish Roasted Potatoes Cheddar Garlic Buttermilk Biscuits

Mexican Style Meat in the Crockpot for the 2 Meals below (recipe coming soon):
Beef Enchiladas
Beef Tacos

Bacon Cheddar Pork Chops (recipe coming soon) Cheesy Ranch Potatoes Fried Okra

Fried Flounder Hush Puppies Salad
Chicken Fingers Squash Casserole (recipe coming soon) Wacky Mac - Macaroni & Cheese
Bacon & Jalapeno Popper Grilled Cheese Sandwiches Salad

Menu Plan Wednesday

This week when working on my weekly menu, I had the goal to not spend a single dime on any meat and instead to shop from my freezer and use up the meat I have stockpiled in there from my local butcher's reduced section. It's amazing how much you can acquire in your freezer in such a short time.

Here's what we're going to be eating for dinner this week:

Baked Ham (I bought 2 hams at Easter & froze one - cheaper this way!), Pineapple Casserole, Salad

Green Chile Stew in the Crockpot & Cucumber Avocado Salad

Cheddar Bacon Pork Chops, Creamy Gouda & Garlic Potatoes Au Gratin, Green Beans, Mama's Buttermilk Biscuits

Lasagna, Salad, & Olive Garden Breadsticks

Ham & Bean Soup (with the leftover hambone & ham - SO good!)

Bacon Ranch Burgers & Chipotle Sweet Potato Fries

Authentic Steak Tacos with Pico de Gallo

This week, we are eating mainly off the stockpile of meats that we already have in our freezer. I'm wanting to make some room in there so I can get some freezer cooking done & have a place to store it.
Here's what our weekly menu is looking like.
