A grade from last week will be a “C”, we did eat out one time for lunch on Tuesday in the middle of the windshield problems and I grabbed a dozen donuts from Krsipy Kreme after Zach’s appointment. Total spent less than $30.\u00a0 I am going to try and tighten the belt even more due to a water line freeze and a new heater\/blower for the white van so I am digging in the freezer all week. I made a quick trip to Aldi for fruit and veggies. I have spent $386 so far this month for groceries with less than two weeks left.<\/p>\n
Weekends usually end up the time we most likely eat out so I plan on BBQ Chicken Pizza for <\/a>lunch, and Philly Cheesesteak Pasta <\/a>for dinner on Saturday, both are new recipes but they use things in the house!\u00a0 The pizza was a huge hit so it will definitely go into the cycle to be used again! Sunday I already have laid out a Chicken Broccoli Casserole for lunch and plan for leftovers for dinner as I have a church meeting.<\/p>\n This week will be a somewhat unusual week as the kids are out of school Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Goals for the week no eating out till Saturday.<\/p>\n Breakfast- Choice of grits, cereal, pop-tarts, pancakes (left overs from Saturday)\u00a0, Baked Oatmeal\u00a0\u00a0or Egg\/Sausage Burrito (from last week). As you can see all these are quick and simple heat up. Sunday morning will most likely be biscuits and gravy.<\/p>\n Lunch- Matt will be in charge of lunches\u00a0on the days\u00a0the\u00a0girls are out of school and will use some of the convenience meals we try to buy on sale. I have recently stockpiled a bunch (8 cans) of soup at work so if I don’t have any leftovers, the I am sticking to quick this week so no planning ahead with that.<\/p>\n Dinner-\u00a0 The kids\u00a0continue with another busy week this week so we just want to eat\u00a0together if possible. I am hoping this week goes as well as last week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A grade from last week will be a “C”, we did eat out one time for lunch on Tuesday in the middle of the windshield problems and I grabbed a dozen donuts from Krsipy Kreme after Zach’s appointment.
