Meal Plan Monday

You'll notice a couple of repeats from last week's menu. Last week was so busy I didn't have time to get a couple of crock pot meals started and thus ended up eating from our pantry and freezer stocks- something that was easy to pull out of a hat without much thought or pre-prep!
I love cooking with the crock pot but I have to remember to start the dishes on time so they can cook all day.

These are not the most basic of meals and yes, we could eat cheaper but I'm addicted to eating out, so if the meals are a bit more than basic I tend to be able to avoid the temptation to say, "Let's just eat out." That little phrase is the budget killer and my weakness.

Some prep, ahead of time, at the right parts of the year help the food budget too. I have berries in the freezer that we picked at a u-pick farm last summer. Baking from scratch lowers the bill too... all the bread items are homemade and I serve them in abundance. Bread is filling and allows our meat servings to be smaller. Most of the desserts are homemade too. My food budget goes further on the baking aisle of the grocery store then the junk food aisles. Also all of my eggs and cheese and most vegetables are bought in bulk at Costco. (The DH is in management there.)
