Grocery Shopping
Thursday, September 24, 2009

Tomorrow I will go shopping for groceries. I shop 2 times a month. Kinda surprised-I purchased enough meat for 2 weeks and of course  I had a few items already in the freezer with some venison my parents gave me. I just can't believe that I have alott of meat left. These past 2 weeks I cooked 4 chicken breasts and made 2 meals: Brunswick Stew (mom gave me venison BBQ, and she gave me some soup that she canned) so with a few more simple ingred. my meal was complete. Then I took the remainder of the chicken left and made Giblet gravy with the stock, onion, celery flake (as I didn't have celery), boiled eggs, seasonings, cream of chicken and celery soup (1/2 can each) thickened with cornstarch-served over cornbread stove top stuffing-kids loved it.  And I also made Spagetti Sauce with mild italian sausage on sale-(I took the casings off)-I froze 1/2 the meat and let this all cook for 3 hours, I mixed it with macaroni noodles and mozzarella cheese-in a casserole dish and baked it. At least a few nights we had left overs for dinner and had some lunch for me and hubby. We had a few non-meat meals this time around.

Boy can we use these savings!
