This week I wanted to make a meatloaf, its been a while. As I said at week 26 our goal was to not repeat a weekly menu. I think we’ve done that but I don’t want to avoid eating things I enjoy. So three recipes from the past are on the menu. Meatloaf red beans and rice,(found a package in the pantry, its amazing how things seem to hide there. Take stock of what you have on hand.) and pizza. Actually these days I use the dough and sauce recipe but the toppings are always evolving. The quick tomato soup is a recipe I will post soon and you make it from inexpensive diced tomatoes and chicken broth. Also I hope you are making your own chicken broth from the bones of the whole roast chickens we have. The secret is to simmer the bones for 4-5 hours. Just add the pieces of onion celery and carrots you might toss. Then strain when done. So good. A can of tomato soup is inexpensive but contains a lot of sugar.
