Monday Menus

I realized that last month I spent way over budget for groceries, so I am tightening the reins a bit this month.

Eating through our pantry and going cheap!  I try not to buy meat, since we bought 1/4 cow last fall, but I found stew meat marked way down yesterday when I ran in to just get 1 thing.  I never come out with one thing!  We are having beef tips to celebrate the great deal.

Chicken fried rice, made with leftover rice from last night.
I will probably have to make some chicken strips for the boys too!

Thursday
Kids meal, Joe and I have a dinner commitment
Grilled cheese and tomato soup

Friday
Soup in crock pot

Weekend in Fort Wayne balling it up!

French Dip in Crock pot

1 medium onion, sliced or chopped
3 lb Beef roast, it doesn't matter what cut.
1 envelope onion soup mix
2 bouillon cubes
1 can water or red wine or beer
1 can beef broth

Cook on high 5 hours or on low  for 8-10 hours.  This is usually more of a shredded beef sandwich, but the Au jus is yummy.
Serve with provolone cheese on toasted and buttered hougie buns.
