Meal planning has been going well. We had a fun ‘ Tim Walz tator tot hot dish’ last week. I didn’t use ground turkey but a sprinkle of sausage on the meat eaters’ side. Then there was cheese, eggs, and a can of fire-roasted diced chilies. It was a fun meal.

Last night we had the brown rice bowls with black beans( my home canned ones), salad toppings, cheese, sour cream, avocado, and some steak tips.( for the meat eaters)

The rest of the week will include;

1. grilled mushrooms over egg noodles and salad
2. tofu burgers
3. egg salad sandwiches( I think) this may be optional
4. pizza of some sort, either homemade or takeout
5. grilled chicken with baked potatoes( I have in the freezer)
6. a soup of some sort.

I want to go through my pantry boxes and pull out anything that might be close to expiration. Most of my pantry boxes( those are the Far Niente wine crates) are half empty since I’m not really doing any stockpiling. I think keeping the basics like pasta etc, is good but I don’t need to go over board. If there is another pandemic, then we’ll live with what have or live without it. That about sums it up.

Exciting, the debate tomorrow. Let’s hope tRump makes an ass of himself!!!!
