Weekly Menu
Ack, is it nearly Monday already?!
I am trying to keep things pretty simple and low prep since we had a busy weekend of traveling. I did some shopping on Friday at Aldi and Trader Joe's, and will head to Costco sometime this week. I'll show you my photos and totals all at once when I gather them together.
I am doing it... the project. Documenting everything we buy and eat this week, to penny. It is kind of hard, because there is always some overlap between weeks, obviously. So, I am doing my best to clarify that on my submission. The fact that I generally shop weekly and use a weekly budget number definitely helps make it easier than if I didn't.
Every week I think: "This is the week I am going to be on top of things and get to bed at a decent hour." And even when I think I do, Thursday morning rolls around and I feel like I am only running on fumes (and coffee). But once I make it through Friday, it is recovery time again. Thank Goodness!
Breakfasts:
scrambled eggs & salsa
homemade turkey sausage & roasted squash
Lunches:
little sausages
chicken burgers
apple sandwiches (with nut butter and raisins)
veggie straws
celery & sunbutter or cream cheese
banana chips or fresh fruit
Kids' school snacks:
corn chex
raisins
Other snacks:
pistachios
Dinners:
Monday - paleo chicken marsala & roasted green beans
Tuesday - salmon burgers & butternut squash (gonna try it in the crock pot)
Wednesday - meatloaf & roasted brussels sprouts
Thursday - rosemary sriracha chicken & peas
Friday - against the grain gourmet pizza (loaded), salad w/ dressing
Saturday - Mark's Daily Apple's shawarma chicken, salad w/ dressing
Dessert:
frozen grapes
P.S. I made some gluten free and nearly grain free party cupcakes on Friday. I made up the recipe and they were edible. I was proud of myself. I will share later :)
Good night!
