Meal Plan Monday

I'm sure we are among the scores of families out there with lots of leftover ham this week. We probably have at least 5 pounds of usable ham slices still on the bone. My plan for that this week is to use some one night in a meal, and then to portion, package and freeze the rest. Then I plan to use the hambone to make a large pot of split-pea soup, which will also be portioned and frozen. Here is the rest of my Menu Plan for the week.

Breakfast
M - Pancakes
Tu - Baked oatmeal
W- Pancakes
Th - Cold cereal, toast, bananas
F - French toast
S - Homemade cinnamon rolls
Su - Leftover cinnamon rolls

Lunch
M - Quesadillas, Leftover fruit salad
Tu - Leftover pasta salad, Applesauce, Cheese slices
W - Egg salad sandwiches, Peach slices
Th - Pizza grilled cheese, Mandarin oranges

S - Split Pea Soup, Homemade English muffin bread (double & freeze 1 loaf)
Su - Ham & Cheese omelet, Homemade hash browns w/onions and peppers

Dinner
M - Chicken & Dumplings, Mixed veggies
Tu - Straw & Hay (w/ ham & peas)
W - Bangers & Mash, English peas
Th - Veggie Marinara sauce (from freezer, frozen earlier in month) over spaghetti, Homemade garlic bread
F - Shepherd's Pie (from freezer, frozen earlier in month)
S - Pork tenderloin, brown rice pilaf, zucchini, onion & garlic saute

Because I am going to use some of my freezer meals this week, I hope to use the extra time to make a double batch of molasses cookies and oatmeal cookies and freeze the dough in small portions to bake a dozen or so at a time.
