Angel food ministries food and creating menu

Here is the angel food menu for June. We will be getting this in a couple of weeks.

1.5 lb. Rib Eye Steaks (4 x 6 oz)
1.5 lb. Hamburger Patties (4 x 6 oz)
2 lb. Pork Riblets
4 lb. Individually Quick Frozen Chicken Leg Quarters
2 lb. Breaded Chicken Tenders
20 oz. Supreme Pizza
1 lb. Mild Italian Sausage
2 lb. French Fries
16 oz
Sliced Carrots
16 oz. Mixed Vegetables
32 oz. Borden 2% Reduced Fat Shelf Stable Milk
6 oz. Pancake Mix
15 oz Pork and Beans
14 oz. Ketchup
7.5 oz. Macaroni & Cheese
Dozen Eggs
Dessert Item

***You get all of the above for $30. Hubby and I ordered four of these for the upcoming month. We will work our menu around these items. We will basically have the same menu each week but we will change it around so it doesn't get boring. Like one week I may make bbq chicken when it is chicken night and the next week I may make garlic brown sugar roasted chicken. Just use your imagination. But make sure that you keep your menu off these items. Make it a goal to only shop for items that you need to complete meals using your angel food.
For example...week one
Monday - Breakfast - pancakes and bacon. Lunch - Egg Salad. Dinner - Hamburger and French Fries
Tuesday - Breakfast - baked oatmeal. Lunch- PB and J. Dinner - BBQ Chicken, mixed vegetables, mashed potatoes
Wednesday - Breakfast - taoast and jam. Lunch - Egg Salad. Dinner - italian sausage with green peppers and onions with potatoes
Thursday - Breakfast - scrambled eggs and toast. Lunch - leftovers. Dinner- Chicken Tender and mac n cheese and pork n beans
Friday - Breakfast - muffins. Lunch - leftovers. Dinner - Ribeye with potatoes and carrots.
Saturday - Breakfast - biscuits with sausage gravy. Lunch-Riblets with mashed potatoes and green beans
Sunday - Breakfast - toast, eggs and bacon. Lunch - leftovers from week. Dinner - supreme pizza

So that is basically what I do. Sit and figure out a menu for one week using the angel food. Then I supplement that menu with what I currently have in the cupboards, what I am growing in the garden, or what is on sale that week.

It is actually pretty easy and welcome to $50 a week groceries! ($30 for angel food and $20 to supplment). Remember to make yoru own bread, your own snacks, and everything from scratch.
