2012 $50 Weekly Menu Week #27- Wishing you and yours a wonderful and safe Independence Day! This weeks menu takes the heat & festivities into consideration and comes in at a reasonable $45.88 . . .
The majority of this weeks menu expense came from taking advantage of Holiday Meat deals- generally speaking, during Memorial weekend and 4th of July there are excellent deals on ground beef, hot dogs, pork chops & ribs, etc. This week we added 15lbs of burger to the freezer for later use.

FYI:
Our own garden is producing cucumbers, zucchini, summer squash, fresh tomatoes, jalapeno peppers, and eggplant.
For those that are just joining our weekly menus, we do raise our own chickens (for fresh eggs) and get about a dozen per day- So if you’re noticing a large number of eggs in our menu, that’s why!

When I click on the link for the stuffed peppers it goes to a page saying Denied. There is no recipe.
Thank you for letting us know! The link has been fixed and you should be taken to the correct page now . 🙂
