Whats For Dinner ~ Meal Plan Monday

Happy Labor Day!... And boy is it warm!. Temperatures reached 111F yesterday.. and I was melting. On Saturday... I power went  off for a while. No A/C or fans was not pleasant but life goes on. It was so hot that the water coming out of the cold water tap.. was very warm...even after running for a while

We are lucky that our church is having services again... albeit outside. We went to the 8am service... but even with the fans blowing.. the sun was so strong its rays were defying the tarp roof.. and it got to an uncomfortable 93F by we got to leave. 

Although it was hot...we called at the Produce Market on the way home...and I got some things to dehydrate this week. I have a budget of $5 a week for preserving... and this market helps completely... 10lb potatoes ~ $1.99... 4 Bell Peppers ~ $1... 3lb carrots ~ $1 and a cabbage for $1. I Still have apples to use... and I want to dehydrate the Butternut Squash I have in the freezer. The power going off on Saturday worried me as I thought we would lose all our frozen foods. Its spured me to get as much dehydrated and canned as possible. Luckily... our stove runs on gas.. so I can still have coffee!

This weeks meals will be quick.. involve as little oven cooking as possible... and make great use of the Crock Pot. So have a great Labor Day... a wonderful week...and here's this weeks menu
