Breakfast:
Cold Cereal, Oatmeal, Pancakes, Muffins. I just always have tons of this on hand so I didn't quantify it for our family. But you might want to think about things like toppings for pancakes, honey or sugar for you oatmeal etc. I have regular oats as well as the ever so good for you instant packets full of yummy sugar.
Lunch:
I just planned on eating leftovers, ramen and mac and cheese for lunches. So I didn't plan for these either.
Dinners:
1. Pasta w/Canned Vegetables
- 12 lbs pasta *
- 12 jars pasta sauce
- 12 cans vegetables **
* a pound is a way more than what we eat a meal, but remember I was thinking left overs.
** the only canned vegetables I can eat are green beans and corn, so that is what I buy, but if you love canned spinach. . . Just don't invite me over for dinner ;0)2. Corn Bread and Chili
- 24 cans chili
- 12 cans vegetables
- Cornmeal, salt, oil, baking powder, baking soda, sugar or honey, powdered eggs*
3. Homeade Bread
- 12 jars fruit

4. Rice and Bean Enchiladas
- 12 cans enchilada sauce
- 12 cans chilis
- 12 cans black beans

5. Sandwiches- leftover bread from meal 3
