Lesson Number 1

Making a menu creates a shopping list. I've always made a menu for the week. Because I don't keep food stashed away, I can't make many things on the fly. I make a menu, I buy for that menu, and I cook the menu. Variations mean another trip to the grocery store. I try to look at what is cheap for the week in the ads and plan meals accordingly. I also piggyback meals. I use leftovers for another meal.
This is my menu for this week:
S-BBQ Pork Roast on Rice
M-Beef and Bean Burritos (I had leftover pot roast from last week)
T-Spaghetti and Salad
W-Penne with Sweet Potatoes in a creamy chicken sauce
Th-Leftover Pork with Mashed Potatoes
F-Frozen Pizza
S-Teriyaki Chicken on Rice
