Angel Food Ministries

Late last night, I hopped online to place my August order with Angel Food Ministries. I almost forgot! It was late. I was tired. But I couldn't miss the deadline! (the deadline is tonight, not last night!)

From their site: "Angel Food Ministries is a non-profit, non-denominational organization dedicated to providing food relief and financial support to communities throughout the United States. Angel Food is available in a quantity that can fit into a medium-sized box at $30 per unit. Each month's menu is different than the previous month and consists of both fresh and frozen items with an average retail value of approximately $60."

It really is a heck of a deal and is going to go a long way in our house, next month. My pickup date is August 29. That gives me the next two weeks to come up with a meal plan and menu. It needs to be in order before I pick the food up. I'll need to get busy with the Once A Month Cooking when I get it all home.

This month's menu consists of:

SIGNATURE BOX

1.5 lb. Ribeye Steaks (4 x 6 oz.)

3 lb. IQF Split Chicken Breast

1 lb. Boneless Center Cut Pork
Chops

2 lb. Mac & Beef Dinner Entrée

1.5 lb. Breaded All White Meat

Chicken Nuggets

1 lb. 80/20 Lean Ground Beef

1 lb. Bake or Fry Fish Sticks
(32 sticks)

1 lb. Frozen Corn

1 lb. Frozen Baby Lima Beans

1 ct. Cello-Wrapped Iceberg Lettuce

2 lb. Sweet Potatoes

15 oz. Pork & Beans

1 lb. Rice

32 oz. 2% Shelf Stable Milk

Dozen Eggs

Dessert

In addition to the Signature Box, we are picking up the following :

Convenience Box
(These will all go with Garrett to the office for lunches)

6.5 lb. Assorted Meat Grill Box

4.5 lb. Steak Combo

10 lb. Assorted Chicken Grill Box

Fresh Fruit and Veggie Box

For a grand total of $147.00 plus a $1.00 convenience fee, we are picking up almost 60 pounds of food. This should get us through September with a few trips to the market for milk, eggs and other such silliness.
