I am going to try to start posting a weekly menu on Sunday’s from here out. I have a light cooking schedule in the summer because it’s hot. Even in the Winter when I will do the bulk of my cooking I space it out three days of cooking and four of eating up leftovers and then clean out fridge day is the last day for leftovers of that week then they are out the door. Here is how we manage our weekly menu.
Pantry Challenge: This is a meal from our pantry. We don’t eat out often if we don’t have a coupon, it’s a no go. Then I will set aside one day for Antonia my daughter to cook. That day will have Ani written on it.
MYOTO (Make Your Own Take Out): Who doesn’t love Rachel Ray? This was her best idea ever. Making meals at home that you enjoy having out. It’s easier than you think. Utilize Pinterest.com. There are so many recipes there for favorite commercial recipes. And they are free. Who doesn’t love free?
Clean out Fridge: This is the last day for leftovers from a week. That’s it if it’s not eaten by this day, that’s it. That leftover is gone.
Breakfast for Dinner: Here is a fun meal to do with kids. It gives them some kind of ownership over their meal. Think pancakes, waffles, scrambled eggs, biscuits at dinner instead of breakfast.
Pizza night: This is twice a month here. I prefer to make my crust. I did a video about a week or so a go on pizza crust. Okay, more of what not to do with crust. Stretch it to far with two separate uses. I promise I do know what I am doing.
Apps for Dinner: This is another fun dinner idea. Let your kids help choose which apps to make and how to make them. Grill or oven. That is the wonderful thing about summer. You can use grills for everything you do in a oven.
