DIANNE'S IDEAS:
---------------------------------------------

MONDAY:
-------------------------
2 pounds sweet potatoes, baked.
Served with either maple syrup or brown sugar.
Any leftover's will added to the freezer bag of sweet potatoe. When I have enough, I will make a sweet potatoe pie..
----
1 lb baking potatoes, not the smaller ones though, allowing extra potatoes for weeks meals. Skins washed well, coated with bacon grease/ Crisco or any hard shortening will work.
I save my bacon grease in a small container in the fridge for stuff like this...
---
1 boneless Pork Roast, baked in it's own juices, seasoned with only pepper. About 5 pound roast for leftover meal.
---
Green peas and green beans from other recipes, extra for easy addition leftover meals.
----
All baked in the oven at the same time, Pork in 1st, sweet potatoes and baking potatoes, last, veggies.
--------------------------------------------
Tuesday:
----------
10 skin-on chicken legs instead of wings
---
Store bought Baking Magic just because I'm too lazy to make my own Shake and bake.. Your choice of store bought style baking agent.
----
1 large head califlower flowerets cooked with 1 large diced onion. I will use about 5-6 cups chicken broth for this. Drain if needed, saving the onion. Mash all. I usually do not drain this, mash with the juices remaining... Adding enough chicken broth and butter for a nice mashed potatoe sub, if needed. Adding any of the seasonings you like. I'll add some horseradish, pepper, and salt.
-----
1 can Beets
----------------
Wednesday:
---
In large Wok
----
Brown any leftover pork Roast, cubed or shredded in olive oil
Remove pork and keep warm
Deglaze Wok with 3-5 tlbs tomato paste
1-2 cups chicken broth may be needed for deglazing pan.
-----
Add to Wok:
2 jalapeno peppers, diced fine or 1 can diced chili peppers, drained
The zucchini, yellow squash, bell pepper, onion, frozen green pea pods, some french style frozen green beans, fresh mushrooms
Any seasonings you would use.
---
Stir fry until crisp tender. Adding chicken broth as needed
----------
Return pork to Wok. Heat all through.
Serve with rice or chow mein noodles
-----------
Thursday:
---
Any leftover chicken. Skin removed. I planned for 5 legs for this.
Cooked about 2 hours in 6 cups water. Adding 1 onion, celery leaves and stems, 2 chopped carrotts, 2 bay leaves
Remove bay leaves and chicken. Veggies if desierd.
Debone chicken. Discard bay leaves and bones.
Add chicken meats back to broth. Any Veggies on the list for your family.
Our family will add all leftover cooked veggies from the week, minus sweet potatoes.
Allow to stew maybe 1 hour.
Cook 1/2 pound bag egg noddle according to directions. Drain. Add to soup.
----
Friday
----
There will no leftovers from the weeks ingreidents
---------
1 pkg store bought frozen fish sticks
Layered in greased baking dish
1 pound frozen green beans and or peas.
1/4 diced onion
