Angel Food Meals - So far.....

1.5 lb. Ribeye Steaks (4 x 6 oz.)
4.5 lb. (Avg) Split Chicken Breast Family Tray Pack
26 oz. Heat and Serve Meatloaf and Brown Gravy
1 lb. Chicken Breast Fajita Strips - Fabulous! We used the corn tortillas and added cheese to make up Quesadillas. They were very tasty (though we could have used some sour cream). Loved the flavor the meat was marinated in.
1 lb. Boneless Center-Cut Pork Chops (4 x 4 oz.) - Great too. I used breadcrumbs to coat them and cooked them up on the skillet. Very good - and not too tough and dry!
1 lb. Fully Cooked Meatballs
1 lb. All Meat Hot Dogs - Just like a Hotdog should be....
1 lb. Frozen Sliced Carrots
1 lb. California Blend Vegetables
1 lb. Pasta
28 oz. Marinara Sauce
48 oz. Hawaiian Punch - Gone! What can I say, my boys love Juice!
32 oz. Borden 2% Reduced Fat Shelf Stable Milk - Almost gone, the boys don't mind it and we use it for cooking too.
12 ct. Corn Tortillas - Used with the quesadillas
One Dozen Eggs - Almost gone, used them to make O's B-day cake and cupcakes.
One Dessert Item - Almost gone, I really can't believe there are any left. They gave us a box of Oatmeal cookies.

So far, we are really happy with what we got and we are planning to order again for November (probably 2 boxes this time). Here is a link to November's Menu

I just got my grandma's box to her. So, very soon she will let us know what she thinks of the Senior Box. I will keep you updated!
