All Things Mommy

This is a repeat from my other blog, Adventures at the McLean's.  I realized it may be helpful here, as well.

Things you need for 6 days:

Cheese
Meat (or go meatless)
Tomato sauce
Beef bullion cubes
Lettuce
Salsa
Pinto beans
Rice
Chili powder (and any other spices you want)
Onions
Corn chips
Tortillas

Day 1:
Chili. Quadruple the amount of beans. Divide the beans into four portions. One portion for tonight's dinner; refrigerate the other three.

Day 2:
Spanish rice. Make more than you know your family will eat. Refrigerate the leftovers. This (and Day 6) are really the only days you NEED meat in your dishes.

Day 3:
Use a portion of the refrigerated beans to quickly mix up some chili. Mix the Spanish rice and all the chili (leftover and fresh-made) into one dish. Add more tomato sauce if needed. Reheat.

Day 4:
Burritos. Take out one portion of the refrigerated beans, and make refries. If there's any leftovers from Day 3, add them to the burritos as part of the filling.

Day 5:
Nachos. Use any leftover beans/chili/Spanish rice, plus the last portion of refrigerated beans.

Day 6:
Taco salad, with any leftovers on the side.

Day 7:
Go treat yourself to pizza! lol
