Menu Plan for Aug-17-23






It's been awhile since I've made a menu plan. I think I am more of a stockpiller then make meals from what we have most of the time. However, I really would like to get better at menu planning. So here it goes for this week. This is a loose plan. I'm not sure which days we'll have what yet. But here's an idea anyway. :) Recipes that are new will follow after I've made them.

Mashed potatoes

I know there's a lot of pork but it was on sale for a great price ($1.69/pound). If we get porked out LOL I may change it up a bit. Thanks for stopping by! Hope you all have a great week! Check out tons of other menu plans at Menu Plan Monday at Organizing Junkie!

Lemon Chicken Artichoke Soup

There is a take and bake place in town that has the most amazing lemon chicken artichoke soup. I decided to try to make a copy of it at home. This soup isn’t exactly like the one at the local shop here, but it’s close. This recipe is so good and highly addictive! I encourage you to try it as soon as you can! Lemon Chicken Artichoke Soup Ingredients: ½ stick of butter 1 tbsp oilive oil 5 cloves of garlic, minced 2 yellow onions, diced 2 12oz jars of quartered artichoke hearts in water (drained, rinsed and diced) 2-3 lemons 2-3 cups of cooked chicken breasts, diced 1 tsp of dried oregano 8 cups of reduced sodium chicken broth 2 cups of half & half Salt and pepper to taste In a 5-6 qt. stockpot over medium heat, melt butter and add the olive oil.

Salt-Free Ranch Dressing Mix

It also has a lot of added sodium. I'm trying to watch my sodium so I decided to make a salt-free ranch mix, then I can control the salt whenever I make the dressing or add it to a recipe. It's super easy to make your own ranch mix. If you make a batch of this up, you can have it already on hand to make ranch dressing or add it into other recipes. Let's get started! Salt-free Ranch Dressing Mix Ingredients: 4 Tbsp of dried parsley 4 tsp of dried dill 4 tsp of onion powder 4 tsp of minced dried onion 2 tsp of garlic powder 1 tsp of ground black pepper Combine the spices in a bowl and from here you can process them for a bit in a mini food processor to mix well and make some of the parsley smaller or you can use a coffee grinder as a spice grinder. Then place in a contai...
