You can add bits of meats (pork is super) cheese, chilis, onions and corn for an almost complete meal.Anne in the kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01533249631969001657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605129043543619307.post-54793784659282992912016-01-19T11:07:01.180-05:002016-01-19T11:07:01.180-05:00That is a lot of food!That is a lot of food!William Kendallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00331324250821836822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605129043543619307.post-65718397218077994612016-01-19T10:04:40.311-05:002016-01-19T10:04:40.311-05:00I do menu plan for at least two weeks at a time.

In fact for dinner tonight I'm having turkey pot pie that I made with the leftover turkey from Christmas. I usually cook 4 to 6 of the same thing and stock the freezer, over the past while with the turkey pot pies I've also made bean soup, chili, and cabbage casserole.Linda aka Crafty Gardenerhttp://www.craftygardener.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605129043543619307.post-85474810780500608082016-01-19T07:26:21.618-05:002016-01-19T07:26:21.618-05:00Good for you!
