 one website that helps me with recipies for the items i get in the angel food packages is kraft.com.  this month we got chicken breast and boxed macaroni and cheese.  on the website i found a recipie for cheesy chicken and vegi mac-which uses both items. 

 there is also a recipie for beef stew in the slow cooker there as well-we got a beef roast this month.  if i cut the roast up and add carrots, onions and potatoes from the vegi package i ordered, i'll be able to make this. 

 a lot of the recipies call for name brand items that kraft manufactures.  i just substitute the kraft ingredients with the generic products from aldis or save a lot, and use what i have on hand from the angel food. 

i usually spend about $81.00 a month on angel food packages and about $90.00 - $119.00 on other items (this includes items like toilet paper, shampoo, cat food,etc.   and additional food items to make meals). 

so my plan for the next few days.

sat- cheesy chicken and vegi mac, frozen carots.

sun-crockpot beef stew, cornbread.

monday-chicken parmasean using breaded chicken tenders from angel food (dec), spagetti and spagetti sauce (left in my cupboard from nov. angel food, salad,

tues-brushetta chicken (recipie from kraft.com)- using unbreaded chicken breasts from dec package, salad.

wed-porkchops (dec package) in crockpot cooked with dry onion soup mix/cream of mushroom soup, mashed potatoes, green beans.

thursday-steak, baked sweet potatoes, salad

friday-hamburgers, fries,  whatever vegi i have in the freezer, jello

Our standard order is $205 a month for Angel Food. I am still factoring what we need to budget for household items and other foods but it looks to be around $250.

I added grilled chicken, herb and butter Rice-a-roni, green beans and salad for dinner tonight.

That's a good idea. I had not thought to use the breaded chicken for chicken parmesan.

Hi All,

I have some sweet potatoes and also some green beans in my freezer from last months bundle.  I need recipes for these two items.  I am bringing Sweet potatoes with marshmellows and also green bean cassarole to my daughters dads house.

Can I find recipes using these two items, I have never made from frozen, only canned.

Thanks so much! 

I prepared the steak fries that were included in the Angel Food boxe this month. I did treat us to frying them and I have to say that these are some of the most delicious fries I have ever had.

ACK! I missed this post! How did they turn out?

I forgot about this month being a bit longer. We really needed an additional box of food to make it to the next delivery date. ACK!! It's a good thing I bought additional meat boxes and had other food items. I likely will also need to make a few purchases of meat before we do our pick up.
