So I am tired, but hey it was a productive day. Here is my plan if you wanted to see it. Today was my “Assembly Day”. Here is a picture of what I did today:
I know, I am not a photographer. I can’t make frozen food look pretty.
If you want my assembly day instructions you can leave me a comment and I will add them to my post. Otherwise, here is my menu for the month:
Week 1 (posted on MPM):
Alfredo Manicotti, green beans or a salad and some garlic bread
Meatloaf, baked potatoes and salad
Bombay Chicken, rice and broccoli
Cheeseburger Roll Up and Salad
Free day – either homemade pizza, eat out or leftovers
Cheesy Beef and Rice, Corn and salad
Week 2:
Stromboli and salad (maybe green beans)
Panko Chicken, Rice Pilaf and salad (from my cooking club)
Burrito Pie, corn and salad
Sweet and Sour meatballs, rice and broccoli
Free day – either homemade pizza, eat out or leftovers
BBQ chicken sandwiches (from cooked frozen chicken), homemade french fries and salad
Week 3:

Freezer meal from my cooking club and vegetables

Sunday’s will usually be a crock pot day. I have several roasts in my freezer. My husband could have roast, mashed potatoes and rolls every Sunday so that is usually what I will fix.
We are pretty simple people. I am not creative in the vegetable department – broccoli, carrots, corn, salad, green beans – this is what we like so I stick with it. Except Sunday’s I will probably throw in some yummy black eyed peas – oh man you have to have that with Sunday dinner and of course a hoe cake! I love the south – now those people know how to cook – bring on the bacon grease!
Now, did I leave anything out?

WOW!! great job!
Doesn’t appear like you missed anything! Looks like everyone will be well fed.
Amen to the bacon grease! Even though I was born and raised in the Midwest, I love cooking with bacon grease. That is what happens when you have a mom that grew up in the south! 🙂 I can’t cook with bacon grease though any more cause hubby has high cholesterol! 😦

Mmmm, you can invite me over ANYTIME on a Sunday. I’m with Ryan on this one. I could eat roast and mashed potatoes almost every day!

I am almost inspired enough to try an OAMC day again. The first one was…well it was bad, and we only did 6 recipes. Unfortunately (or fortunately) we have had lots of meat sales lately so our freezer is packed and needs some eating before I can do any freezer cooking.
Oh and thanks for listing sides because I never know what to do for sides. And, I like that you use one meal a week from a cooking club. That would probably keep me from getting sick of the same stuff all the time.

Lara,
I have the instructions, but my problem is that I often just write them out and don’t type them. I am working on doing a plan with instructions and grocery list and all but I just haven’t done it yet. Stay tuned . . .
Thanks for commenting.
