Meal planning this week did not have any sort of overall theme or purpose.  Meal 1 is a revisit of an old recipe that desperately needs a new picture.  Meal 2 is the attempt to recreate Lance’s beloved childhood stroganoff which is red unlike the white/brown kind that I grew up eating.  Meal 3 is the attempt to get some fish into our diets since we didn’t have any last week.  Meal 6 is an easy casserole-type dish since I’ll be doing prep cooking for the weekend that day.  And Meal 7 is currently Top Secret because Art’s parents are visiting and I don’t want them to peek!  

I did, finally, use up all the meat in the chest freezer last week, so for now it’s just cow from the upright that I need to work on using up.  So far I’ve been successful at planning two meals with cow a week in order to use it all up within a year.
