My meal plan

Thanks for the ideas on meal planning. I am still working on it. Tonight it was 5:45 and I did not have a plan. I did get a lot of other things done today, and kind of forgot about dinner. We ended up having Progresso soup and sandwiches.

My sister encouraged me to make a 28 day plan, categorized by main ingredient. Categories include beef, chicken, casserole/slow cooker, seafood, fast meals, vegetarian/soup, and pork. Last week I got a 10 pound box of boneless, skinless chicken breasts because they were on sale for $1.39 per pound. I cooked some of them up for Hawaiian Haystacks and Chicken Pot Pie. They are still in my fridge, but I need to chop and freeze them. I also bought 6 pounds of ground beef for $1.69 per pound. I cooked all of the ground beef and froze it in small freezer bags with about 2 cups beef per bag. I cooked two pounds of meat with onions so it is ready for Popover Pizza and Chili and even labeled the bags that way. I still need to decide if I will go in the order, or just pick that day. I have most of the ingredients that I need, but do have a list of things I still need. It is nice to know that I have some choices for what I could make. So here are the meals on my list.
