Monday Menu October 22nd

I spent most of the day Saturday working on a 10 week menu. Yes, you read it...10 weeks! Phew! We are very strapped for money for the next two months and I needed to raid the pantry, freezers, etc. to come up with 10 weeks worth of meals. Thankfully, a week ago, I made over 20 meals to freeze. This will come in handy for when the baby comes in about 5 weeks.

It will be a tight two months, but I have faith that God has already provided for us. He is our daily bread! (Matthew 6)

So, with 10 weeks already planned, it should make my weekly menu plans easy to post!
