Menu Plan Monday -- 29 September

We did pretty well last week, although I didn't make a couple of things ... we just had more leftovers so no need to go out. My pantry and freezer are starting to go bare so I will have to start buying again, except for the little items. Red are food items I had to buy -- the rest are from the pantry.

Sunday -- Chicken, Homemade Mac & Cheese, Sweet Potato, Broccoli, Biscuits

Monday -- Tortellini Soup

Tuesday -- Grilled Chicken, Corn, Orzo (Need Marinade for chicken) Sweet Potato

Wednesday -- Jambalaya (Never made this last week-- out of Rice!)

Thursday -- Pork Steak on the grill, Mashed Potatoes, Green Beans

Friday -- Homemade Pizza

We made homemade applesauce this weekend and ended up canning 6 quarts. This was our very first experience with canning. My husband and Stephen helped with peeling them! Interesting job -- I can't even imagine canning 40 or 50 quarts of just one food, let alone -- apples, corns, beans, jams and jellies .... ugh! We still have apples left that we need to process and not waste! We were given a HUGE sweet potato this week, I cooked it in the crock-pot. I will post a photo tonight. I was afraid it wouldn't be sweet but it was yummy! We used half of it for the one meal and still have 1/2 left.
