I will be cooking for 4 adults and one toddler for the next three weeks-I love it! I brought a ton of canned/dry goods over with me to offset the increased costs of living with my folks for the next bit and I plan to do most of our eating from the pantry.
My dad loves red meat so I have to have some of that in most meals so I am looking for deals there. Yesterday my dad and I swung by Safeway and found ground beef marked down for $1.50 for 3 lbs! $0.50/lb is amazing! So we bought two and left a dozen others for someone else (but those were marked $2.50 each for 3 lbs-still an amazing deal!)
Breakfasts:
cold cereal, pancakes, scrambled eggs with mix-ins, french toast, homemade donuts on Friday (for my birthday-anyone have a fool-proof homemade recipe?)
Lunches:Leftovers
Dinners:
Monday: Roast, acorn squash, carrots in the crockpot, bread & leftover salad
Tuesday: Leftovers, soup (parents at Bible study tonight)
Wednesday: Thai Peanut noodles with leftover roast on the side for dad, frozen broccoli
Thursday: Chili and Cornbread
Friday: Red Robin for my birthday (free birthday burger-yay!)
Saturday: Meatloaf from freezer, mac n cheese, peas
Sunday: Enchiladas, green beans

We love thai peanut noodles. It wouldn't occur to me to serve roast with it, but I'm sure your meat loving dad will appreciate the sentiment!
I'm glad that you enjoy cooking for extra people...and Happy Early Birthday!!!
