After setting up and getting a plan of attack in place, assembling commenced at 9:30 am!
Our Cycle 2 menu consisted of:
White Chili
Chicken and Spinach BakePorcupinesQuicheHam dinner slices**Herbed ChickenPizza roll-upsBBQ Pork and BeansCrockpot Chix and veggiesSweet and sour chickenSalsa beef casseroleCrockpot Chicken creoleEnchilada casseroleUpside-down Fettuccini BakeLasagnaItalian Sausage and Spinach PieSanta Fe ChickenChicken Potato CasseroleSmothered BurritosGerman dinnerChicken Pesto CasserolePork Chops on RiceSesame Glazed ChickenVegetable Soup with MeatballsChicken SupremeFreezer Coleslaw with HamApricot-Glazed Pork RoastFrench StewRanch Chicken Loaf*Tator Tot Casserole
*Due to a ground turkey mix-up (needing 2 lbs of raw ground turkey that mistakenly got cooked), we had extra ground turkey left. Which resulted in a spur of the moment Tator Tot Casserole** Due to a miscalculation in chicken breasts, this dinner didn't get made.Sometimes things work out and sometimes there are mistakes. When you do OAMC, you need to be flexible and be willing to change things up when needed. Expect the unexpected!!
