My Favorite Pot Roast

 This week's plan:

Baked Ziti with Mini Meatballs

• Sunday: Marinated Salmon (from the freezer) with Sesame Baby Bok Choy and soba noodles
• Monday: Best Pot Roast with mashed potatoes, steamed broccoli, and fruit
• Tuesday: Bean and Cheese Quesadillas with leftover steamed broccoli and fruit
• Wednesday: Leftovers
• Thursday: Spaghetti and Turkey Meatballs (from Trader Joe) with steamed mixed vegetables
• Friday: Kale White Bean Soup with Grilled Cheese
• Saturday: Maple Balsamic Chicken with Saffron Rice Pilaf, steamed green beans
• Sunday: Baked Ziti with Mini Meatballs (mini meatballs from the freezer), salad, fresh fruit
• Monday: Pizza Night 

Freezer Cooking While Making Dinner:

• Bake a double batch of Whole Wheat Banana Bread while making Salmon dinner on Sunday. Freeze one loaf, eat one loaf.
• Save the pot roast gravy and remaining meat. Freeze; add to Minestrone Soup next time I make it (Delicious!)
• Make Bean and Cheese Quesadillas until I run out of beans and cheese. Freeze extras not used for dinner on Tuesday.
• Freeze single and double portions of Kale White Bean Soup after serving it for dinner.
• Double sauce recipe from Baked Ziti with Mini Meatballs. Use half of sauce, freeze remaining half to go with 2nd batch of mini meatballs already frozen for the next ziti.

 I may also do some chicken processing for the freezer if I get the chance.
