Well, in the awesome training I took from www.simplylivingsmart.com - They taught us how to rotate food storage with a menu plan. Anitra (the trainer) has a 90 day menu! Her family eats each dinner food only 3 times a year! I am doing my best to get to a 60 day menu.
With the exception of a few meals, most of them can be made from my storage items. (I store a lot of canned meat!) I tried to do that so I could build my food storage around what we eat & rotate it easier. I even have some breakfast foods in there, cause we love breakfast. I cook most of my stuff from scratch & use whole grains. Really, the only one I'm not big & huge on is the hot dogs! I can handle them if they're grilled to a crisp, on a whole wheat toasted bun, & topped with ketchup & cheese.
So far, here's what I have... (JUST 52 SO FAR) Help! I need more! Please leave a comment if you have any other ideas & recipes...

I'll have to do some digging. At one time I had a 90 day plan that didn't duplicate anything. A couple I can think of are French dip sandwiches (will your family eat that?) and chicken fried steak, and philly cheese steaks? I know of some more, and forgive me if you have these and I didn't see them, I think I have *soap* in my eyes LOL!!!
Just found your blog and I love it!
I am working on my food storage menu. I taught a class on making a food storage menu for enrichment and was really surprised when most of the ladies thought I was crazy or it was too much work etc. Oh well. I think it makes planning and storing food so much easier.
Just a note...I found your blog and love it. I'm going to put it on my google reader. Thanks for sharing your tips, recipes, and insight. I love the fruit roll-ups:)
This recipe would definitely be on my meal plan. It's a black bean soup recipe (essentially taco soup) from food network. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/dave-lieberman/black-bean-soup-recipe/index.html
For sides I usually stick to simple veggies, and if I think my picky eater might not eat the main dish I add rolls, garlic bread, or cheese bread to the menu.
As I was searching through blogs I found yours and like it. I like your 60 day menu. When all my kids were home I used the same type of thing. In the shuffle of kids leaving home to be on their own my menu seemed to leave too. By-the-way, Have you tried Taco soup?
I guess Taco Soup is a popular meal for people! Everyone I know eats it! Actually, my Enchilada soup is basically the same thing, but I tweaked it a little, & it tastes better... Thanks for the idea! Keep them coming, PLEASE!!!
You could try BBQ beef or chicken sandwiches.
Thanks for the ideas. I do actually have BBQ sandwiches on there toward the bottom. I just generalized it so I could choose beef, pork, chicken, or whatever. It's pretty hard to come up with more, isn't it!!!
Like your blog, I too have a 60 day meal plan. How about pulled pork on buns with coleslaw or salad. Check out the make-a-mix cookbook it is basically for freezer big batch cooking but could be adapted for
home canned meats mixes. has some great recipes.
Good Luck
