In addition to the meals above, I'm going to make a number of soups to keep in the freezer for those nights that just don't pan out and for Saturdays with no meals planned. Here are the soups:
Corn Chowder
Butternut Squash Soup
Potato Leek Soup
Tomato Basil Soup

Based on what I currently have on hand, I have until Thursday to plan my grocery runs, find some coupons and do some research on freezing veggies. I'm hoping to hit a farmer's market or two this week as well. Local is always best!
Keep cooking!
