Menu Plan for April 11-17

homesteadrevival.blogspot.com

I was nice and included links to several of our favorite recipes and even included a recipe for beef enchiladas at the bottom of this post.   Please note that many of these foods are already made with several  (lasagne, BBQ, cinnamon rolls, and enchiladas) in the freezer.  Biscuits, granola, yogurt, homemade rolls, buttermilk pies and bread are already prepared for the week.  We'll be grilling out some chicken tonight and grilling out extra strips for the  chicken wraps on Wednesday (remember the chicken breasts I found at a great price this last week?)  I will be saving the chicken breast bones with a little meat left on them to make the broth for tomorrow night's dumplings.   Cooking in large batches and freezing sure makes my life easier.
