I have finished up my menu planning for January. Once again between the work schedule and changes in who was home for dinner I still have a lot in the freezer to use up. Most of these menus are based on what we have on hand. Today I will be making a huge bone in ham so several menus are based on planned overs from that. During the work week I am alternating fast and slow cooker meals. The first work week of the month are menus for one since I will be the only one home for dinner that week. Fast meals are in bold, slow meals are in italic, and meals using planned overs are indicated with an *. Friday's are GF'S choice, either he cooks or we go out.

ReplyDeleteThank you, I've sent that to myself. Looks like something we'd like, and it's a budget dish as a vegetarian stew. Awesome that it's a Crock Pot recipe, as well.
ReplyDeleteAll the reasons it appeals to me as well. I didn't get to make it last month but definitely will in January.
