Do you feel constantly hassled when it comes to thinking of putting a meal on the table at the end of a busy day? There is a solution by way of easy monthly meal planning. Not beef casserole with dumplings is the free monthly meal plan provided for you, so too are the delicious recipes. And it gets better.for each of the Main Meals that you cook, there are Leftover Recipes. This means that you cut the time on preparation and more or less get two meals out of one.

One way to make a beef casserole is to season the beef with taco seasoning mix, salt and pepper. You can make it extra hot by adding half a teaspoon of cumin. Spread the ground beef evenly using a nine inch square casserole dish. Drain a fifteen ounce can of corn and layer this evenly on top of the ground beef. Make two cups of instant mashed potatoes and spread this on top of your mixture. Put one cup of grated cheddar cheese on top of your casserole mix. Sprinkle more taco seasoning on top and also add a small can of sliced jalapeno peppers. Bake at 375 degrees for one hour or until the meat juices run clear and you have a nutritious and filling dinner ready to eat.

For a meal, why not make Irish stew? There are many different variations. A simple one is just a beef stew jamie oliver with carrots, potatoes, onions, celery and beef stew jamie oliver meat. Some folks add green cabbage to the stew for a truly Irish touch. Buy or make some soda bread to add more authenticity.

Deep and dark ales are a perfect winter-style beer with its malty and rich flavors. Ales have a rich aroma that welcomes the drinker, and is perfect for pairing with a hearty stew. Some brown ales have a very slight sweetness to them while others can be found a bit bitter for those who enjoy a little bitterness in their ales. No matter which ale is being poured, all are good served with roast meats and also grilled items, like steak and poultry.

Make the Paula Deen brown sugar squares. These won't last long, so you may want to make two batches. I don't recommend doubling this recipe, as it loses the gooeyness in a 13x9-pan. Make one batch, cool completely and make another. Two batches will last the week (maybe!). These are absolutely delicious.

Braising steak is one of the most economical types of beef. When properly cooked it is fork-tender and melts in the mouth. For a beef stew on the hob, chop the steak into bite-sized cubes. Fry in a little oil until browned. Add to a pot with beef stock, garlic, herbs and seasoning. Simmer for an hour and a half. Add chopped vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, onions and mushrooms. Simmer for another half hour. Stir in a flour and butter mixture to thicken the gravy.

When first light finally came, we were both exhausted. We'd drifted much too close to the island for my comfort, and I was eagerly anticipating the first breath of wind that would carry us home. The sunrise was celebrated by a herd of gray whales passing the boat and breaching, the sounds that we were convinced were waves breaking on the shore while it was dark we now understood were the whales spouting.

Either freeze individual portions, or freeze entire entrees. For example, when making meatballs, you can make an extra batch and freeze them. Soups and slow-cooked meals also freeze well.
