Menu Planning...

ok the object of the game this week is NOT to buy groceries or keep it under $20(have to buy 2 gallons of milk and bread at least). so here is a menu plan I will be FORCED to use for the next few weeks!

Frozen pizza
waffles
pancakes
grilled cheese and soup
Roasted Red Pepper Pasta
Turkey(that I'm sure I can stretch into at least 2 more meals)
chili
mac and cheese
steak with rice

sadly all my veggies have depleted! Keith won't mind I'm sure! Unless I find a really good sale!

other things in my pantry:
chicken broth
tomato soup
cream of mush, chicken, and celery
1 box spaghetti
1 box elbow macacroni
1/2 box lasagna noodles
pork tenderloin
ground beef(2 lbs,separated)
ground turkey
1 lb chicken breast
potatoes
long grain rice, minute rice
2 cans black beans
1 can kidney beans
2 jars of salsa(mango and lime, gr. chili)
eggs
bacon

I'm trying to get as many meals as I can out of what I have so I don't want to use more than one protein per meal(ex. beans and chicken) so if i make taco soup it will only be with beans and no chicken

anyone have any good recipes?

first thing I thought of was meatloaf... the meatloaf I make is tomato soup, crackers, ground meat and seasoning. If you want I have a really good soup recipe that will use your cream of soups and the ground turkey if you'd like it

I see chili in the making....yummmmmmy!

If I had an inch of brain left, I could come up with something, but alas...
