As I try to be an industrious housewife, I sit with the grocery ads on Thursday, find what's on sale, and try to create meals around them. This week was going to be AWESOME:
- Grilled steaks & broccoli cheese casserole
- Marinated chicken & roasted parsley potato wedges
- Garlic butter pasta with shrimp
- Turkey burgers and onion rings
Last night, as Tom noticed the menu on the fridge, he remarked, "Those steaks sound good, except I won't be home that night." Umm, okay. We'll do it the next night. "Nope, won't be home that night either." Okay, lame.
Tonight neither of us are home for dinner. Tomorrow night Tom has an awards banquet. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday Tom has track meets.
So, this girl will be eating Ramen all week and freezing all the meat she bought. If any one would happen to take stock of what's in my freezer right now, this is what they'd find:
- 2 lbs. frozen ground turkey
- 3 lbs. 93% lean ground beef (the only kind Tom will eat...)
- 4 lbs. chicken breasts
- 2 lbs. chicken tenders
- 2 ribeye steaks
- 2 lbs. pork loin roast
I figure if I continue stockpiling meat, we'll have no shortage during grilling season! ;)
