The Winter Experiment

We came up with the idea of a two week revolving meal schedule for the winter to try and streamline meal preparation. I like meal preparation, but it seemed I was taking too much time to do it and knew that we could eat cheaper if we thought through it some more.

Now that we are in May, it's time to revise the schedule and put us on a summer schedule which I haven't come up with yet.

Here's the winter schedule:

Week1

Sun Lunch (church pot luck) - on sale vegetable & starch (or what someone had given us which happened an amazing number of times)

Mon Lunch (we were feeding another family): Ham or Chicken, Mashed Potatoes, vegetable

Mon: Tilapia, Lima Beans, rice

Tue: Tortilla Stack & Salad

Wed: Ravioli & Vegetable & garlic bread

Thu: Roasted veggies w/ chicken

Fri: Refried Bean Burritos & veggies

Sat: Cheddar Chowder

Week 2

Sun Lunch2: (see above)

Mon Lunch 2: Refried Bean Burritos & veggies

Mon2: Veggie Pot Pie

Tue2: Ham or Chicken, Mashed Potatoes, vegetable

Thu2: Chickpea & Cauliflower Curry & Naan

Fri2: Pizza & Raw Veggies & pickles

Sat2: Chili (sometime with macaroni)

Alternate menu items:

Stir fry

Spinach Pie

Pancakes
