Menu Plan Monday

I always do a quick inventory of what we have in the fridge/freezer/pantry to plan the week's meals. This week the list to work from included:
dry beans
rice
91/2 dozen farm eggs from a dear lady at church!
2 gallons milk
ricotta cheese
carrots
onions
potatoes
cake mix/icing
in the freezer:
2.5 pounds of cooked ground turkey
1 pound of cooked italian turkey sausage
bacon
sausage
pork roast
whole chicken
I also take notice of staples that we need. On the list this week:
sugar
unbleached flour
cornbread mix
oatmeal
bran flakes
butter
Now I just plug in the menu list accordingly. The forecast the first three days of the week includes lots of cold rain-y weather. So I'm taking advantage of a couple more soup days before it gets warmer!
