Menu Plan Monday: Frugal Freezer Week

I'm up before the sun to post this. Literally. Sunrise isn't until 6:33 AM. But by then I should be dressed and making breakfast for my daughter, who wants to leave for school at 6:50. Whoever thought up the schedule for middle-schoolers obviously didn't take into account that they (and their parents) need more than five hours of sleep.

Lately it's been working out that the weeks that I don't have access to a car are the weeks I have to be frugal. No access to a car means I have to carry the groceries home. I call it strength-training.

This week's menu is based on the meats I still have in the freezer. It helps that I already have the most expensive items on hand. I was able to buy everything on the menu, plus lunch items for myself and my daughter for $85. My grocery bill hasn't been that low in a while!

Sunday: Pecan-Crusted Chicken with Spinach Cranberry Salad

Picky-eater approved

Monday: Apple Chicken Sausage, kale (spinach) and (cauliflower) rice soup
Tuesday: Curried Turkey Cutlets with Dried Apricots with mixed veggies
Wednesday: Grilled Salmon Avocado Pitas
Thursday: BLTs
Friday: Pizza - I've discovered that after a long week, I just don't feel like cooking on a Friday night.
Saturday: Teryaki Steak and Salad
