Now in case you’re wondering why there seems to be a lack of fresh vegetables, I already have a couple heads of lettuce and fresh spinach in the fridge.  Plus I still have a bunch of things frozen and canned from the garden this summer.  I have bell peppers in the freezer but I cut them up before I froze them.  Dh requested stuffed peppers so I broke down and bought some fresh ones.  I probably could have saved some money by buying a generic mayo and paper plates but I’m sorry there is nothing like the tangy zip of miracle whip J  As for the paper plates, I don’t want to use foam but the cheaper ones just don’t make it from the counter to the table with anything on them.    Oh I also have the basic staples already in the pantry like flour, cornmeal, and so on.

I'll post a menu plan for all this soon.
