Menu Plan Monday Cheesy Potato Casserole, Goulash Recipe

Menu plan Monday

When I say Simply raising 8 I mean it.. Simple and easy.. You won’t find any fancy cooking terms here and a lot of the meals we make were probably meals your grandma made during the depression to make meals go far enough to feed a brood!

Things I have in the fridge that I should use this week are.

·        Mushroom soup in a Tupperware that was not needed for the GB casserole at Thanksgiving.

·        Eggs

·        Lettuce

·        Shredded cheese

·        Ranch dip

·        Sour cream

·        Cream cheese

·        Brick cheese

·        2  grand’s biscuits

·        Chicken broth

·        Canned tomatoes in a Tupperware

·        Peas

·        Carrots leftover

·        Potatoes leftover

Since I usually have my pantry stocked with Staples such as flour sugar pasta noodles crackers rice etc… I can put this with that to make the weeks meals so I don’t waste what’s in the fridge.

Emergency meals this week are: #1 Stouffers Enchilada bake with Chips and cheese, and #2Grilled Cheese sandwiches.  These are the meals that are quick and easy in case something comes up that makes it so we are unable to cook a “Real” Meal!
