October Menu

I had to get back thinking about all the great dishes for fall. Casseroles, soups, stews, and warm hearty food. Fresh baked breads, and rolls. Best of all it's even more frugal to eat in winter and fall with all the soups, stews and planned over meals.

For This is much easier to do for instance- I plan to make chicken fajitas one day and use the rest of the chicken for sour cream chicken enchilada's. I'll make a double of some the the casserole and cook one, freeze one. Most soups freeze well and it is just as easy to make a huge pot as a small one. So here is my October menu.
