The boys are back home this week which means I need a few substanial meals. Somehow the summer heat doesn’t decrease their appetite like it does mine. So off to the pantry and freezer I go on a quest to find the perfect meals.
What have I found. Well a turkey (3 actually) for roasting. I will wind up using this for several meals but we will definately eat the bird soon as I am attempting to empty a freezer. I plan to pull out the largest bird to deal with this week.
MONDAY: Grilled Hotdogs & Cucumber Salad
TUESDAY: Tacos & Beans with Rice
WEDNESDAY: Ham & Cheese Pocket Sandwiches
THURSDAY: Beef & Bean Nachos
FRIDAY: Turkey with Taters & Gravy
SATURDAY: Grilled Chops with Veggies
SUNDAY: Club Sandwiches and Salad






I have my step kids here for the summer and it is a huge adjustment on what I need to cook compared to the rest of the year. It really takes more planning so I do not spend a fortune at the store.
