week 28 – menus and shopping list

This week we stretch the dollar by using the leftover chicken from last week in two dishes. The beef for the stroganoff comes from large chuck roasts I buy on sale or at  the discount clubs. I cube the meat and then freeze it in smaller packages. This is such an easy recipe after browning the meat with mushrooms and onions I then stir in sour cream or greek yogurt. Season to taste and serve. Great dish to re-heat and serve. Make the meat loaf from ground beef or ground turkey. I almost never make the same meat loaf. I use what I have on hand to make it interesting. A good mustard or worcestershire sauce and ketchup always adds flavor. Bind with bread crumbs (I use a half of a English muffin) and an egg.
