This is my 4th week posting the meal plans. I think I have worked out most of the kinks.. I try to post as much info as time allows, but if you have a specific question, please ask.. I will be happy to answer. Don't forget to choose the option to receive notifications to pots when you comment.. otherwise you may never know I answered! :)
I try to do bulk shopping once a month a fill in weekly as needed. We do a pantry build, so we tend to buy large quantities of basic food items. This is not becasue we have a large family, although it helps, but this method also works great for smaller families and even single people. I like to shop sale/clearance items. I rarely use coupons. I will also include here random non-food grocery items, as I do include that in our budget.
Our Meal Plan
Notes
* snacks are usually cheese and crackers, pretzels, fruit/veggies, or fresh baked goods
*Sundays we fast one meal, the littles usually snack since they do not fast. ( its optional for everyone)
*we do have a small supplement of food from our garden. Its not a lot tho
*meals are subject to change without notice ;)

Try this recipe for Birria with your goat meat. http://masaassassin.blogspot.com/2009/04/birria-de-chivo-recipe-goat-stew.html (It looks like a pretty authentic recipe, although I have not made this myself. It is a Mexican favorite!)
