This Week on the Dining Table

The  "Drowning in Collards" Edition.....

4 little collard plants sure do produce a LOT of collards!  Hubs and I will be finishing off the collard greens leftovers tonight but I'll be cooking 2 large Ziploc bags more of collards today so we'll have more collards to eat this week.  Between salad greens and collard greens we are set for fresh veggies this week.  I don't think I will want to see collards again in quite awhile though. lol

Onward to the meal planning!

1. Sunday--Fend for Yourself
2. Monday--Steak, Spinach Salad, Sweet Potato
3. Tuesday--Quesadilla(using Fajita filling)

4. Wednesday--Pigs in a Blanket, Veggie TBD from Freezer
5. Thursday--Chinese Take-Out

6. Friday--hot Tuna Subs w/Spinach and Tomatoes

Last week saw 5 nights of home cooked dinners, 2 nights of leftovers/FFY/TV Dinners, and 0 nights of Take-Out/Eating Out.  

We didn't get Chinese take-out since I had a big can of clams to use so I made clam chowder last week.  We have enough leftover of that for about 3 more servings for lunches.

What got put into the freezer last week....
* 2 packages of pork chops

What got taken out of the freezer and used...

* 3 petite steaks

* 1 pack of hot dogs

* bag of broccoli
