Welcome to week 13! I have a great mix up of meals for you this week. Italian, Mexican, Asian, and American flavors all in one plan. This one s a great one for those families that like to mix it up like mine does. As always, these are meals you can double up on and put away more for later or have extra for lunches. My husband is generally home for lunch and I am normally around a microwave for lunch and we love having leftovers instead of sandwiches. Some people worry about the expense of containers for storing your frozen meals. Overtime even the aluminum pans can get expensive if you can t quite get them clean and have to repurchase. Please be aware that you can use Ziploc freezer bags for many recipes. Even casseroles if they aren t layered can be put in gallon baggies. Then just thaw and pour out into a baking dish when ready to cook. Start your cooking day as usual. Clean kitchen and all of your cooking utensils and pans clean and ready for easy use. For this week s menu start with the Pork Recipe #1 Country Ribs in Mushroom Gravy as this needs to go in the slow cooker for a few hours. After that the menu can be created as listed or in any random order you d prefer. 2015 Elisa Prout - All Rights Reserved. Page 4 Http://www.onceaweekcooking.com
