Eat at Home 3!

[Swimnoid]

I haven't posted in a long time. Ever since I started going to Aldi I have done much better on our food expense.

This week will be:
Sunday--grilled burgers, potato salad, corn on the cob and coleslaw
Monday--Paula Deen's chicken casserole, coleslaw, maybe green beans
Tuesday--Pizza from Aldi, not great but not that bad either
Wednesday--chunky beef enchiladas, refried beans, salad
Thursday--lasagna, salad
Friday--Nachos

Now I have to figure out lunches to take this week too. Hopefully some will be leftover from dinner.

Glittercat- my recipe for the okra:

1lb okra cut up
1/2 Vidalia onion
3 slices bacon cut into small pieces
Garlic salt

Cook bacon and onion. Add in okra. Do not stir. Flip when bottom side is browned. Cook other side until browned and sprinkle with a bit of garlic salt before serving.

Tuesday: Alfredo using both regular pasta and vegetable noodles
Wednesday: Leftovers
Thursday: Chicken sandwich with asian slaw and fruit

Now, the biggest change I am making is that except for the days I work, lunch is going to be my main meal. This is because I have much more energy to cook in the afternoon. By the time dinner comes around, I want nothing to do with cooking!

Wednesday - Chicken Alfredo bake, salad
