1 - 15 oz or 2 small cans tomato sauce
1 can creamed style red beans
Roasted chicken
Salad
Bake or sweet potato
Broccoli

Vegetables for soup ( frozen and fresh)

1) Chili - brown ground meat with Tonys and onion powder or chopped onion, salt. Add following to a slow cooker: browned ground meat, 1 T. Chili powder, 1 pack chili seasoning, 1 can stewed tomatoes, 1 15oz. Can tomato sauce (or 2 small cans), 1 can creamed kidney beans, water to get consistency you want. Cook for 1-4 hours. Serve with cheese, Fritos, crackers, cornbread, etc.
The next day you can have hot dogs with chili on bun or french bread bun or chili Frito. You can half the recipe or freeze some for a later date.
2) Roasted chicken- you can eat chicken and salad for one day then make chicken salad with the left over chicken.  Chop chicken in bite size pieces, add celery and pecans or add boiled eggs and pickle relish if you like that. Really you can add whatever you like then add salt, pepper and mayo and mix well.
3) Baked potatoes or sweet potato and broccoli with or without cheese. You can bake potato in oven for 1-2 hrs. On 450 or you can microwave it. Sweet potato is much better in oven. Cook broccoli. I put a little oil in a skillet and cook broccoli with garlic and salt. I just watch stir til done ( when a fork can stab it pretty easy).
4) Vegetable Beef Soup- stew meat, cut in bite size pieces, tomato or spaghetti sauce, any veges you like ( I buy frozen and fresh) and seasonings. Throw it all in slow cooker and cook all day. If you have beef bouillion, add that also.
