Menu Plan Monday, Eating From the Freezer
This week we are eating from the freezer.
Yes, I love to freezer cook so we always have a supply of items ready to go. Before you say, I’ve tried freezer cooking but it takes all day long, it’s just too hard. I hear you.
That’s why I do freezer cooking the easy way, in batches, when I find meat on sale. I can make about 8-10 meals in an hour this way. Plus it’s a great way to stock your freezer and save money too.
But enough about freezer cooking let’s get to this week’s meal plan.
I have a good supply of pork chops from the pork loin I bought, so we will be having pan fried pork chops one night the week.
We will also be having ham another night, since I still have some tucked away in the freezer from Easter.
The last time I bought a big pack of ground beef, I made a few packages of hamburger patties for the freezer, so they are on the menu this week too. I always make hamburgers with a batch of baked fries. It’s my son’s favorite meal.
One night we will be eating breakfast for dinner. I love making breakfast for dinner, its quick and easy and delicious too.
I’ll also be making pizza from scratch using this no rise pizza dough, and homemade pizza sauce too.
Lunches for most of the week will be leftovers. We’ll also be having a quick lunch of chicken tender sandwiches.
We make them by baking chicken tenders and placing them on a hot dog bun with lettuce, tomatoes, pickles and mayonnaise they are so good. If you don’t want to make your own chicken tenders Costco sells panko breaded chicken tenders that work well for this lunch.
This weekend for breakfast we’ll be making baked donuts. Double chocolate baked donuts are so good and better for you too. Well, better than the fried donuts.

Thanks, Sandra!
We also had hamburgers for dinner this week! They tasted so good…I can’t wait for the weather to warm up some more so that I can cook them out on the grill.
The weather was nice enough for us to grill our hamburgers this week. I have to confess though. I think I like them better cooked in the skillet.
