| My stove/oven make and model. |
Some of this will look familiar as items we didn't eat last week so they are carried over. A few standbys, turkey meat loaf and tuna hot dish are off the menu until I get my oven back, but might come up with alternatives. *Indicates includes some items needed from the grocery store. I'm trying to stretch! Saturday we will all be working our Show Choir competition, but will set aside a leftover plate for DH before he joins us. this should yield lunch left overs for the week as well.
- Cheese ravioli, broccoli salad
- Turkey meat balls (fried on stove rather than baked) and mashed potatoes, green beans
- *Brats, shallow pan French fries
- *Chicken wild Rice soup (DH made a massive pot last night so there are two meals worth still), homemade bread
- Bean and cheese burritos with tomatoes and corn
- Beef and vegetable stew with side of rice or egg noodles
- *BBQ pulled chicken, coleslaw
laundry soap
cleanser
dusting spray
Hot dog buns
Coleslaw or cabbage (and I'll make my own dressing)
eggs
bread
Tortillas
Coffee
yeast
apples
bananas
butter
It should be a low cost week for shopping, leaving me funds for next week. I'm going to get the bread maker out and do at least one loaf to go with the soup. Perhaps I might just hit the clearance bread rack-we'll see how ambitious I am.
I love your stove top /crock pot menu! It will be fun to see what you come up with while waiting for the oven to be repaired.
ReplyDeleteWell, no one will go hungry. It's funny how I am sure there are weeks when I don't use the oven much, but now of course I miss it like an appendage.
DeleteYou do what you have to and you get by. That is a great way to live, but eventually you will have time to see what can be done about the stove.
ReplyDeleteEventually-DH pulled it our yesterday and thinks he knows the part he needs. He wants to noodle it around a bit more so he doesn't later waste time.
DeleteYou could try and bake your meatballs in the crock pot too. It's too bad it's not bbq season, it would be a lot easier.
ReplyDeleteyes-the grill is on the deck and the deck has several feet of snow on top! We could hovel it off, and get out there is we were of a mind to. I didn't think about using the crock=pot for the meatballs. Interesting.
DeleteWe went a year without a stove, the repair man tried everything and we didn't have the money to replace it. I bought a 18 quart roaster that I even made cookies in for Christmas that year. Hopefully you won't need a new stove.
ReplyDeleteThe stove top works fine plus have the microwave and assorted appliances. I know it can be done. It is only 15 years old-no reason it should not be fixable, and taking advice from others, we'll see if it is a simple fix before calling the repair line.
DeleteWe went months without an oven after a power surge fried the electronics. The stovetop was still usable and we also had a crockpot and toaster oven. I would use to microwave to partially cook things like fries and chicken nuggets then finish them in the toaster oven to get crispy and to reduce cook time. Eventually we found a scratch and dent oven at a great price. Dent is hidden and I covered to scratches with special paint (heat safe) I got at walmart.
ReplyDeleteThat is what my worry is-that the entire electric system is gone. We have had such cold weather and snow with spurts of power outages. If as a last report we need to replace, I will be looking for functional and low cost. We know if and when we sell, someone will come in and want all brand new whatever the theme of appliances is at the time, so we are not going to invest too much in any replacement needed.
DeleteThe electrical board cost nearly as much as a brand new oven. And we now put surge protectors on everything in the house. The problem was an idiot semi truck driver trying to squeeze through a residential area and taking out a power pole-twice!
