Week 9
So last week we had Freezer Frenzy week here at our house. I had quite a collection of leftovers in my big freezer, so I just pulled things out all week and reheated them for dinner. I didn’t even make a dent, or at least it seems like that. I thought about doing the same thing this week, but decided against it. I still want to have stuff in the freezer in case we need it for some reason. So we are on to week 9. I am almost through my 12 week rotation. Once we get through the 12 weeks I will have another freezer frenzy week, and then I start the whole cycle over again.
Here is this weeks menu:
Meal 1: Honey Baked Chicken, Brown Rice, Corn
Meal 2: Pizza Sandwiches, Salad
Meal 3: Chicken Noodle Soup, Crackers
Meal 4: French toast, Sausage, Fresh Berry Salad
Meal 5: Hamburger and Potato Dish, Peas
Here are some of the recipes for this week:
Honey Baked Chicken
4 Chicken Breasts
1/3-cup ghee
1/3-cup honey
2 Tbsp. mustard
1 tsp. salt
1tsp. curry powder
Season and place chicken in a prepared 9”x13” pan. Combine the remaining ingredients and pour over the chicken. Bake at 350 for one hour, basting occasionally.
You can also cook this in a crock-pot on low for 4 about hours.
Pizza Sandwiches
8 slices of bread
Softened ghee
1 3.5 oz. package sliced pepperoni
8 oz. mozzarella cheese, sliced
Mozzarella rice cheese
1 Jar pizza sauce
On each of 4 slices of bread, arrange one layer of sliced pepperoni, and one layer of cheese. Top each with a buttered slice of bread, butter side up. Turn these upside down on a hot griddle and quickly butter the topside of the bread. Flip when crispy and cook the other side until crispy. Serve with pizza sauce for dipping.
Hamburger and Potato Dish
1-½ lbs. ground beef
1 cup chopped onion
1 ½ tsp. salt
1 15 oz. can dark kidney beans, drained
1 14.5 oz. can diced tomatoes, with juice
4 cups frozen hash browns, partially thawed.
Brown ground beef and onion and drain. Stir in the salt, beans, and tomatoes. Place hash browns in a sprayed slow cooker. Top with ground beef mixture. Cover and cook on low 5-6 hours or until potatoes are tender.
Have a great week
