The website states that the standard Angel Food package--called the Bread of Life standard box--feeds a family of four for approximately one week. I think that it is safer to say that the package will supply food for suppers for approximately one week for a family of four. When I have purchased it before, I liked to supplement it with additional groceries for the week and still found it helpful for my budget. I have run across some websites that sell a weekly menu that gives recipes built around the standard package offered at the time for a nominal fee. Somehow, to me, that detracts from the goal of Angel Food Ministries of helping families who are financially struggling. I am going to post some recipes in the next few weeks that use ingredients that are in September 2010's standard Angel Food box. If you have recipes that would work, you may send them to me or post them on the Angel Food website as they have some recipes as well. Here are a few ideas for starters.
Burritos Supreme - Use the frozen burritos, heated per instruction. Make a salad of lettuce, chopped tomato, and green onion. Heat canned chili. Spoon chili over heated burrito, top with salad, sliced black olive, shredded cheese, and sour cream. Serve with spanish rice (using the packets are convenient but you may make it from the rice that comes in the standard box) and pinto beans.
Do you have to taxi kids to after school events? Simply use the breaded chicken nuggets and french fries that night. Maybe serve fruit for a quick dessert.
Smoked sausage with fried potatoes. Fry potatoes till nearly done. Add chopped onion, chopped green bell pepper, and diced smoked sausage. Season with table salt or garlic salt and black pepper.
Watch for recipes in the appropriate tabs later. Until next time, know that you are loved.
