weekly meal plan

 

The pantry and freezer are looking a little bare. I have to plan carefully because I am out of some of my regular items like any type of white bean to make White Chili or  Vegetable Garden Minestrone Soup (two of our family favorites!). I am also out of pinto beans, tapioca flour and am getting low on meat. I use to try and keep a one month supply of every regularly used item in the pantry, but I can see from this month’s pantry challenge that I need to readjust the quantities that I stock.

Monday –  I am going to modify my Teriyaki sauce by reducing the teriyaki by half and adding orange juice as well as 2 Tablespoons of honey to create a slightly different flavor for Teriyaki Stir Fry, since we had it last week. I will serve it over wild rice.

Tuesday – Taco Salad, made with home made tortilla chips

Wednesday – Use leftover rice to make Chicken and Rice Soup, Salad, and Buttermilk Dinner Rolls

Thursday – YOYO dinner (You are On Your Own)

Friday – Gluten Free Pizza and Salad

Saturday – Pulled Pork, Baked Beans, and Corn

Sunday – Italian Chicken and Rice Casserole

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
