My hubby made hamburgers on the grill. Sunday we had beef tips over rice. Today was a meal with deer meat from the deer my husband got hunting this past fall. The rest of the week will be BBQ pork chops and broccoli casserole, Parmesan tilapia and sautéed veggies, and deer steak, brown rice and green beans.
This week I’m using my crockpot for a few meals. The rest of the week it will be stove top meals. I was able to find meat on sale so I put some steaks in the freezer and ground beef too. I found a great deal on organic ground beef at just $3.50 a pound.
Here’s what’s cooking at our house this week, http://www.frugalfamilyhome.com/food/menu/menu-plan-monday-june-9th
I would be curious to hear your reviews on the Million Dollar Spaghetti. Have you made it before? The recipe looks like it has a lot of cheese.
I haven’t made it yet — I keep planning to and finally decided that this week is the week it’s going to happen!
The homemade energy bites are a favorite for my husband when he is marathon training. Perfect for him to grab on the run (literally). 🙂
Here is our menu plan:

Thanks for some new recipes to try! Yummy! I’m using the slow cooker this week as we have morning and evening activities. http://womenwithintention.com/meal-plan-monday-26/
Fun to see the Pasta Salad Bar on your menu – hope you enjoy it! 🙂
I’m pretty sure we will! Thanks for the great idea!
How do you freeze the million dollar spaghetti?
I’m just going to make it as it says and then freeze before baking. We’ll see how it turns out! 🙂
Thanks! Disposable dish or do you freeze it in a regular pan?
Either should work.
My son just texted me today and asked if I had any meatloaf in the freezer. Now that he’s on his own he doesn’t eat a lot of meals with us and he’s missing his mama’s cooking. Even though it wasn’t on the menu, I’m thinking I’ll going to have to whip up some for him this weekend.
Here’s our menu, thanks for the link up.

The steamed cabbage and beef sounds great. Do you have a recipe for that?

Meaty Monday sounds like fun. We do Meatless Mondays, Try it Tuesdays and Fish Fridays around here. You can see this week’s menu at http://adayinthelifeonthefarm.blogspot.com/2014/06/time-for-weekly-menu.html
Yum! Thanks for sharing!
Where can I find flax seed that is already ground up for the Energy Bites?
I grind mine in the blender or coffee bean grinder.
You can find it either in the health food section or next to the regular flour. Our stores carry both ground and unground. One brand is Bob’s Red Mill – it’s kind of pricey but a little goes a long way and it’s great as an add in in smoothies too!
Hope that’s helpful!

Those homemade energy bites look awesome–definitely making those for my husband, as he’s been working out a lot lately and always needs good snacks.
I actually just signed up for the Fresh 20, after testing out the sample menu last week. Not sure if I’m saving money yet, but not a single thing I purchased went to waste. I’m doing an old menu this week, from May 23. It includes Pineapple Pork, Baked Fish, Balsamic Glazed Drums, Pork Dumplings, and Roasted Tomato Soup. Excited! ~ Brenda from Supermoney.com
That’s FANTASTIC that not a single thing went to waste! Woohoo!
Definitely fantastic, especially since had green onion and cilantro to deal with. I always waste those!
Ooh, the Million Dollar Spaghetti recipe looks interesting!
I just made my family a batch of your whole wheat peanut butter chocolate chip oatmeal cookies for my family this week, and I substituted nutella for the peanut butter…they were so good!
I made the Million Dollar Spaghetti last week for my family and my parents. It was delicious! I ate the leftovers for lunch twice and it was very good reheated.
Glad to hear you all enjoyed it!
Oh, I bet Nutella instead of peanut butter was AMAZING!
I love reading your menu every week, Crystal! I’ve gotten tons of great ideas!
Here’s what we’re having!

Awesome recipes! I am going to try these this week! I also thought I would share my menu for this week as well; Weekly Menu: Feeding A Family of 4, For Only $18.72 This Week at http://theladyprefers2save.com/?p=4987. Thank you!
I’m looking forward to getting the freezer cooking guide!
