Off the plan today (sort of).

Menu Planning

• hot dogs, homemade scratch mac and cheese (white sauce, with cheese added, pasta), peas.
• Ham and and cheese quiche. (using sliced deli ham, provolone cheese).
• BBQ pork chops, long grain rice, peas.
• Home made pizza (cheese for the kids, tomato slices for us). I would make my own crust in the ABM, grate the cheese in my blender, and use canned tomatoes for topping. I have three jars of spaghetti sauce in the freezer with 1/4 cup in each. 
• Dirty rice (using a small amount of ground beef or ground turkey), peas

• Scrambled eggs, hash browns

• Spaghetti and sauce, meat balls with ground turkey, spices, egg, homemade breadcrumbs, veggies
• crock pot chicken thighs, carrots, celery,onion, long grain rice
• dirty rice (with chicken), broccoli.
• left over chicken thighs, egg noodles, veggies 
• Canned soup and sandwiches, veggies

• Home made waffles with syrup.
• Two nights of left overs.

I'm thinking that tonight we will have some home made chicken noodle soup. We have a bunch of stock in the freezer, along with various containers full of chicken/carrots/onion/celery in the freezer. It's best to start using these items (keeps expenses down), and get rid of some lurkers. I will also serve a small salad on the side. I'm thinking of combining the left over chicken and veggies meal with the soup. Home made chicken soup sounds good on a night where everyone is home together.
