Since it's MLK Day I've got the day off. I've been a busy little bee so far today. I cooked a turkey for sandwiches this week and a couple of other meals we'll be having. MONEY SAVING TIP: Did you know buying and cooking a whole turkey saves you a lot of money? Turkey breast at the deli counter will cost you around $8.99/lb. A pound of turkey meat will last about 2 days at our house! Over the holidays I bought a 14lb turkey while it was on sale for $1.79/lb. Saving lots of money this way and getting several meals from it!
Back to having the day off...I got some long over due cleaning done, some laundry and I'm making stock out of the turkey bones. I did manage to put together a menu plan for the week, too.
Here's what we're eating this week.
Monday- Baked sweet and sour chicken with oatmeal stir fry
Recipe can be found here: Baked Sweet and Sour Chicken and here Healthy Oat Stir Fry
Tuesday- African Chicken (this recipe I got from a friend many years ago and it's just stored in my head)
Wednesday- dinner at church
Thursday- Leftovers
Friday- dinner out somewhere since I don't cook on Fridays!
Saturday- Cilantro Soup with Turkey Quesadilla's
Sunday- Leftovers
Well...at least I don't have to ask, "Honey, what's for dinner?" Thanks for all your hard work! - Your husband
ReplyDeleteI want to try that oat stir fry.
ReplyDeleteAnd I am very intrigued by African Chicken. What's in it?
you inspire me. Maybe one day soon, I'll regularly make meal plans.
Oh, yes, what is Cilantro Soup? Sounds divine.
