Menu Plan Monday




Good Morning, and welcome to another Menu Plan Monday! We have so much in the freezer right now and I really need to get some things used up. Hunting season is just about upon us and I really need to clear some things out to make room for more venison. With this in mind this is our menu plan this week....






MONDAY- Stuffed green peppers*, cheesy potatoes, apple crisp






TUESDAY- Meat loaf, baked potatoes, corn (oops, I was supposed to have this last Friday but didn't)






WEDNESDAY- Vegetable soup, grilled cheese, fruit






THURSDAY- Blueberry pancakes, sausage






FRIDAY- Cabbage stew with pork steak, homemade bread






SATURDAY- We are going to the apple fest! We are pigging out on whatever!






SUNDAY- On our own!
