Since I’m participating in the Preparedness Pro’s Food Challenge, I have 2 weeks worth of meals planned. We should do fine during the 2 week challenge, though I’m not certain if the eggs will hold out or not. Therefore the breakfasts center around other foods. If it turns out that we have plenty of eggs, I’ll tweak this a bit next week. The side dishes may also vary based on what we have that needs picked in the garden. We also have lots of dehydrated fruit and frozen fruit for snacks or desserts. The meals are heavy on the meat. I planned them so that I could take the meat out the night before from the freezer. We may end up eating more vegetarian meals than were planned, though, as I do not usually use as much meat in the summer.
Part of the challenge is to not run out and buy a lot of extra supplies to get you through the 2 weeks. I didn’t order any more milk than I normally would have during this time span. We have about 20 eggs we have on hand from a local farmer, and I didn’t buy any extras from the store. I can make our own bread, and so I didn’t buy any extra sandwich bread for my hubby’s work lunches.
We’ll see how it goes!

Hey, Check out www.plantoeat.com if you like to meal plan. My husband originally created it for me, but now that it is a public website, we have lots of people using it and he's always adding new stuff. Right now I think he's working on tools to help meal planning bloggers.
ReplyDeleteI'm participating too. Your menus look a lot better than mine! :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful to see you writing about yogurt cheese. We like it so much we wrote a cookbook and guide to expand its uses. I hope you will allow us to share our enthusiasm: Yogurt cheese (or YoChee as we call it) is a wonderful versatile ingredient you can make at home to improve your own yogurt. Simply by draining it. It has substantial health, taste and cooking benefits (a creamy food which is low or no fat plus high protein and calcium). I hope you will take a look at,” Eat Well the YoChee Way” our guide and cookbook to this important food. We even paid ($1,000) to have yogurt cheese analyzed in a lab for nutritional content. The book really increases the use of yogurt cheese to main courses, soups, sauces, desserts, and much more. (Nutritional content included). Inexpensive durable drainers (starting at $9.) make it easy and clean. Our website YoChee.com contains a free yogurt cheese how - to slide show, nutrition information and free recipes. Thanks.
