week 18 – menus and shopping list

The end of this week is Christmas eve and we have a nice chicken with orange and rice. Home made holiday treats for dessert. Many of the items on this weeks menu comes from item in the freezer or pantry. I buy large packages of pork chops on special and freeze them for future meals.  The same with bacon, I buy it when there is a great price on it and use what I need for a recipe and freeze the rest. We tried to keep it simple from a shopping stand point and so that you could also put a little more of your budget on the Holiday meal. The white chili recipe is so good and hearty. Perfect for a winters evening.
