I hope everyone had a joyous Christmas. We enjoyed spending time with our family and eating way too much!
School is out until January 10, so I will be at home. I've decided to challenge myself to use only what I have on hand for meal planning for the next two weeks. I will need to pick up milk and eggs and I ran out of garlic powder during the holidays ,and while I could live without it, I'd rather not.
I did an inventory of my freezer and pantry and it appears I may have more stuff than the grocery store! In the pantry, I have lots of pasta, beans and rice and canned tomatoes. I also have a broad selection of Asian staples. I have a huge addiction to Pacific Ocean Asian Market in Denver, and usually spend a small fortune there every time I visit. The freezer is well stocked with chicken. I'm down to mostly roasts and round steaks left from my beef, and a few odd cuts of pork and pork sausage. I also have 1 turkey and assorted frozen vegetables. I have plenty of potatoes and onions, as well as some apples and squash. In the fridge, I have some root vegetables, celery, mushrooms, cabbage, assorted cheeses and plenty of condiments like mustard, ketchup, horseradish, salsa, etc.
Since the kids will be home all week, I have included breakfast, lunch and dinner in my meal plan this week. We will be butchering more chicken this week so I planned a couple of quick, but hardy breakfast and lunches. It looks like the weather will be quite cold on the days we will be out at the ranch.
