Even though I knew it was coming I'm just amazed how much beef has went up. I have sticker shock! We bought our hamburger last week on sale at Gordon's food service but to buy a roast is just beyond our budget right now. We've talked about meatless meals before but I'm going to try and incorporate them more in our weekly menu plan.
On other news: I'm getting used to going out in the freezer (our freezer is in the garage) the night before to get a frozen meal through the week. I thaw it in the refrigerator and by morning I either put it in the crock pot or by afternoon I bake it. Easy as can be and so cost effective for us. We would be so tempted to eat out otherwise while we watch our grandchildren.
Today I hope to put up some more freezer meals so I can keep ahead of the game.
Sunday Out to eat and a bluegrass concert!
This was one of our Christmas presents to each other. We love destination presents and we knew it would be boring with the winter weather. We were right.
