Yea!! I'm back with menu planning. Not only am I grateful to enjoy food again, but our household budget was feeling the pinch from eating out more. I'm still going to pick up a few frozen convenience foods for the nights I don't want to cook. It costs more, but is cheaper than eating out....especially if I pick it up with a coupon. As my energy picks up, I want to start making more foods for the freezer.
Sunday: Superbowl! I made my chimichurri cheesesteaks using the pork carnitas recipe from Family Feasts for $75.00 a Week. This was a new way to cook pork. It worked well, but I did let it get too dark at the end. I trimmed off some of the burned spots. I served the sandwiches with applesauce.
Monday: Potluck, I brought banana chocolate chip bars for dessert.
Tuesday: Date night! (I planned tacos, but Ben is treating me to a dinner out instead.)
Wednesday: Late work night. I'm picking up a $5.00 8 piece fried chicken special at the local thriftway, and then I'll serve it with mac and cheese, applesauce, and possibly foolproof biscuits, for a KFC type dinner at home.
Thursday: Using the leftover pork for taco night!
Friday: Looks like it will be a rainy day. I'll make our favorite mashed potato soup.
Saturday: Leftovers or grilled cheese and applesauce
