What will you be having this month? We are trying to get a good dent in the freezer with our beef. Our freezer is still full, plus we have more beef stored at my in-laws house. Because of so much red meat, I made a goal of adding extra meatless meals this month. This will also save on the budget.

Breakfasts for the month include: cereal, oatmeal, nutra grain bars, eggs, bagels, english muffins, toaster strudel, blueberry muffins, yogurt, bananas/oranges, and one doughnut day.

Lunches include: leftovers, lunchmeat/peanut butter sandwiches, ramen noodles, canned soups, grilled cheese, and possibly egg salad. We have plenty of apples, canned fruit, and snacks to get us through the month as well.
