What's for dinner???

I made up my menu plan for this week's dinners. I don't have to grocery shop for any food this week except milk and I would like a little fresh fruit. I also need toilet paper. That's it! I'm trying to use my stockpile of food up so making a menu really helps to keep me on track.
Here's what's for dinner for Monday-Friday. I figure that we'll have enough leftovers for the weekend.
Sunday: Subway w/friends
Monday: Foil Packs w/rice and salad
Tuesday: Breakfast...pancakes, bacon, sausage, eggs, hashbrowns
Wednesday: Pork Chop Supper, rice, veggie, salad
Thursday: Spaghetti, garlic bread, veggie
Friday: Homemade Pizza
Saturday: Leftovers

Foil Packs:
Take 1-2 lbs. ground chuck, round or turkey, crumble into individual foil packs, fill with desired veggies (I use onion, green pepper, carrots, celery, green beans, etc.) Season w/salt and pepper (sometimes I add a little soy sauce for flavor). Fold foil pack tightly so they don't leak. Place on hot grill or in oven and cook until done. You may want to lightly oil the inside of the foil so that food doesn't stick.

Pork Chop Supper:
4 pork chops
2/3 c. long grain rice
4 T. chopped onioin
2 tsp. instant chicken boullion
1/2 c. chopped apple
Brown chops in small amount of oil in skillet. Remove chops and set aside on plate. Add rice and onion to oil and cook until slightly browned. Add 2 c. water and bring to a boil. Stir in apples. Arrange chops on top. Cover and cook 20-25 minutes.
