Adventures in Freezer/Pantry Cooking: Week 2

As I move forward in preparing what's in our freezer/pantry, here's what we've enjoyed this past week:

Note: Jordan was out of town visiting friends Monday-Thursday and I had clients in town and a new-employee welcome lunch (aka work paid for 4 meals for me) so if it seems like there's not enough food for 2 people for a week, that's why.

Meal 1: Pork chops (courtesy of my parents) and rice, 1 pint home-canned beets, and we finished up the head of lettuce with our dinner

• Outcome: 4 servings (1 dinner for us, 1 lunch for us)
• Approx price: Less than $2

Meal 2: Using the leftover 2 cups of smoked turkey from last week, I made a green bean, turkey, potato soup

• Outcome: 6 servings
• Approx price: Less than $3

Meal 3: Salmon (thanks for fishing in Alaska every year, grandpa!) (cooked at 350 for 20mins, sprinkled generously with dill, garlic salt, and lemon pepper) with 4 cups of corn (picked from my uncle's field this summer and shucked, cut and frozen ourselves) and a leafy salad (courtesy of the friends we were having dinner with). And I totally forgot to take a picture.

• Outcome: 5 servings (enough for dinner with friends, and we left the last serving at their house for a lunch)
• Approx price: For us, technically free

Meal 4: Spaghetti with ground beef (thanks mom aand a quart of home-canned green beans

• Outcome: 6 servings (enough for dinner with friends, and two extra for lunch)
• Approx price: Approx $2 (this meal used ground beef from my parents, and the sauce and box of spaghetti were $1 each)

Are these types of posts interesting or boring? Does it help with your meal planning at all?
