Menu Plan for the Week

I’ve been doing quite a bit of cooking and freezing ahead for the month of October…especially because we’ll be hosting several rounds of company this month. I LOVE having company, and I really like to ENJOY my company, which is why making food ahead of time is such a great idea! In a few days, I’ll share pictures of my cooking adventures.

Here are some of the recipes I’ve been working on:

• Turkey Sausage
• Mudballs (made with sunbutter since Malachi doesn’t do peanut butter)
• Double batch of whole wheat tortillas
• Mini Apple Pies and apple pie pockets
• Pancake-Sausage Muffins
• Salad Dressings – Italian, Ranch and Thousand Island
• Lasagna
