Menu Plan Monday ~ Saving Money in my Frugal Kitchen ~ Week 2 December 2024

My Frugal Week

Last Sunday I made six more gelatin and fruit cups. These were gone by yesterday, so I made eight more for this week.  Some were made using cherry gelatin with blended cottage cheese for protein, and some with banana strawberry gelatin with blended cottage cheese and strawberries.  

We shopped for groceries on Tuesday. We ended up with more food than freezer space, so we took two turkeys out of the freezer upstairs and put them in the freezer downstairs, which was my Dad’s refrigerator.  That freezer was empty, but not now. 

On Saturday I spent time reorganizing the refrigerator upstairs. I made more Chipotle Ranch for Bailey, made deviled eggs, used up all the bowls of chopped onions and peppers into a stir fry for dinner. Cut up all the celery and red peppers in order to have them ready to be eaten, peeled some clementines for easy snacking, put like items together and wiped everything down.

Here is what we had for dinners this past week:

What’s for Dinner

Monday ~ BBQ Pork Chops, Roasted Beets, Sweet Potato Fries. 

Tuesday ~ Cheeseburgers and Fries.

Wednesday ~Chicken Teriyaki Kabobs, Vegetable Stir Fry with Cauliflower Rice. 

Thursday ~ Grilled Chicken Salads, Sliced Cucumbers & Sugar Snap Peas

Fish on Friday ~ Baked Whitefish with a sweet bourbon mustard glaze, Green Beans & Onions, and a salad. 

Saturday ~ Plant Based Chicken & Teriyaki Vegetable Stir Fry. I used multiple bowls and bags of vegetables from the fridge, using them up in the process. I added some grated frozen ginger right off the ginger root, which always elevates this dish to the next level. I made deviled eggs earlier in the day, so I served those as well as sliced cucumbers and clementines. 

Sunday ~ Grilled Chicken, Salads, and Deviled Eggs. 

What’s been on the menu in your home this past week?
