And Finally, A Day Off ...What's For Supper
I am so happy to finally have a day off. I have a lot I want to accomplish, so I thought I might try to plan my day out here.
I want to make at least 3 different suppers and freeze them, with Mommy and Daddy working 90+ hours a week between us, Ben has not had the healthiest of meals. (And neither have we) So, I am going to attempt have suppers cooked so the nights that I works wont be so rotten for Ben.
I plan to make...
Beef Stew (Nanny's Recipe)
Stewing Beef (brown with onion then let boil to make a broth)
1 Large Onion
Carrots
Parsnips
Turnip
Potatoes
Cabbage
Sheppards Pie
Ground Beef & Gravy
1 Onion
1 Can Mushrooms
Potatoes
Peas
Carrots
Sour Cream
Cheddar Cheese
I haven't decided on the third, Possibly Scalloped Potatoes, Goulash, or Chicken Casserole.
If anyone has any great freeze ahead recipes, I'd love to hear them.
I do need to purchase some containers for storing all the extra food, and a labeling system. But I am confident that this shouldn't be an issue.
So my plan for tomorrow is
Up at 8am (it's 1:20am now)
Morning Routines - Drive Daddy to work for 9am
Go to ACA country store (Utility Turkey on for 1.29lb) I haven't been there, gonna check out a few other things too!
Go to Averys Farm Market and Check for reduced Produce
Take Ben to the park for an hour. Play and Garbage Clean Up
Pick up paycheck and go to bank.
Go to SuperStore for some sale Items and reduced Produce
Go to Dollarama for food containers and aluminum foil (I cant forget this) oh, and labels too.
Have Lunch @ Pizza Hut.
Go home and start cooking/cleaning.
Laundry
Beds
Floors
Fridge
Dishes (I did do them tonight so I wouldn't have to start the day off behind tomorrow)
Pick Daddy up at 6
Home for Supper
After Supper Clean up (dishes, tables, floors)
Bath time for Ben
Story Time
Bed Time (Ben)
Finish Laundry
General Clean Up
Shower
Bed
Wow I didn't think it was that long. Wish me good luck. Like I say in my profile, ask me tomorrow if I got everything done today. :-)
Well, maybe since I shared my plan, I will stick to it a little better than normal

Good luck! I had thought of trying to do similar errands today but now have both kids home with me. Oh the joys of sending them back to school to all the germs that get shared.
Your meals sound yummy! have you thought of using a slow cooker. I am a big enthusiast of home cooked meals. we never eat take out. ever. you can make this work and it sounds like you are off to a good start.
might i make a suggesstion. use freezer bags for storage and when freezing lay flat . it will make storage neater as well as it will thaw out faster. even liquids like speghetti sauce can be frozen like this.
Oh my goodness! That list of things to do is way too long. Myself I'd be happy to get through 1/4 of it! LOL.
Wow! You had a busy day. Hope you managed to get everything done.
I like to have meat sauce for pasta in the freezer for busy nights.
