Weekly Menu Plan 1-14 to 1-21, 2024

 

I don't know about where you are, but here it is officially COLD.  It was -3 degrees when I got up this morning, and as I'm typing this at 3:00 in the afternoon, it has gotten all the way up to 8 degrees.  

As I saw the weather report last week, we went to the store for bread and milk and coffee creamer (my most needed ingredient), and we're eating from the freezer until the weather warms up.  I may go to the store on Wednesday if it warms up into the 20's, just for a few things.

Since I'm just going through food from my freezer, I decided to make a mini-menu plan for the week based on what I know is out there.  Sorry I'm a day late - it was so cold yesterday I just stayed on the couch most of the day, wrapped in a blanket with some magazines, some cross stitch, and some coffee.

Here is the menu plan for the week - I'll start with yesterday, even though it's already a done deal!
