How To Fix Food For Six Days In Advance

Hell if I know but I'm going to try!!

Hubs and I decided we needed to stay home for a bit to save money and get things done around the house. If I'm not in town, I can't spend the money, right??

So, today he comes up with this bright idea of fixing 6 days of meals in advance (I mean, of course it's in advance, where else could it be? Behind in advance?) so we don't have to go to town.

This is a great idea if I knew how to do it. So, I'm getting my trusty recipe book down and see if I can somehow plan this out. Planning isn't my strong point as seat-of-my-pants cooking/living/riding/gardening/etc. is more my modus opperandi.

I know I can do spaghetti and meat sauce easily enough but for 6 days? Don't think so! So, I think maybe a stew for 2 days and then some tacos too. Sounds good. Then I think I might pop a cake in the oven, you remember my oven that still needs to be cleaned?? That will last for a couple of days. I did up a cuke/tomato salad thingy too. I always have grapes and bananas on hand for snacks. If I don't have my fruit, I can get mighty cranky.

As always, I'm doing sun-teas right now with one flavored tea bag of cinnamon-apple or orange or lemon or spearmint. Coffee is always on at our house as hubs can't live without it. There are some chips and salsa going on too.

So, I think I'm good for the 6 days. We'll see how long this actually holds out, how long we actually make it.

What an experiment, eh??
