Eat at Home 3!

[Sydney2977]

Ooooh- that chipotle alfredo sounds amazing! I always have chipotle peppers in adobo sauce in my fridge, and I make homemade alfredo sauce, so I think I will pick up the rest of the stuff to make this when I go shopping today. I have to take DS to a meeting this morning so I will make the rest of my plan while I am waiting.

 

[Sydney2977]

As for last week's menu plan we stayed on track except for last night. We had to go pick up DH's new truck so we just had sandwiches when we got home. Poor DS- it was his birthday yesterday and he burned the top of his mouth on something the day before and didn't feel like he could eat the nachos I planned to make for him anyway. We will go out to eat wherever he chooses tonight and the rest of the week is as follows (in no particular order):

loaded beef nachos with guacamole
potato topped chicken casserole
creole pork chops with okra and dirty rice
chicken chipotle alfredo penne (thanks for the idea westcoastflgirl!) with a side salad
sirloin and veggie pitas with lemon berry smoothies
shrimp burritos (will use leftover beef for DH's) with side salad or fruit

We just got back from vacation and I had things prepped in the freezer so we can ease back into life.

Tonight is garden marinara and pasta. I make a homemade sauce and add green peppers, zucchini and mushrooms.

Tomorrow will be enchiladas made with corn, black beans, salsa, cilantro and cheese.

The next 2 days will be plenty for me to do our laundry, get everything put back in its place.

For the rest of the week, I think grilled pizzas, fruit salad, pasta salad, fingerling potato salad and grilled steak.

I've been consistently going way over the grocery budget. Normally I would say that maybe we have it set too low, but I don't think that's it. I think my freezer is full and we go out every weekend and buy more than we need. So it's time to use up what's in the house. I am going to make a menu for the next few weeks that uses up what we have on hand and will only shop for milk, eggs, bread, produce and the odd fill in item for a recipe.
I'll be back to post the rest of this weeks menu once I have them all planned out.

Sunday was -Dinner at my moms.. Grilled sausages on buns, various salads, strawberry pound cake

Monday was- Chicken burgers, cucumbers and baked potatoes for the kids. Dh had a meeting and ate leftovers when he got home. I was out for end of year parent council meeting and dinner was provided.

Tuesday was - Spaghetti Pie, garden salad

Wednesday- Grilled chicken breasts, baked sweet potatoes, asparagus, side salads.

To be continued....

Pancakes and scrambled eggs

Birthday dinner:
Pulled chicken sliders
Crock pot baked beans
Homemade potato salad
Frozen trays of mac and cheese

It has been super busy around here and doesn't seem to be slowing down anytime soon. We have a friend moving in with us for a while this week so it will be an adjustment to the grocery list adding another person that's a big eater!

Sat- We smoked ribs, corn on the cob, and baked beans (SUCH a good dinner!)
Sun- Red beans and rice with smoked sausage and French bread. I needed something quick and tried this brand https://store.louisianafishfry.com/products/entrees-and-rice-mixes.html It was REALLY good! I doubled the batch for lunches for this week. If you get this brand where you shop, I highly suggest it
Mon- I'm thinking tonight honey mustard, bacon, chicken sandwiches with carrots and ranch on the side and leftover beans from Saturday.
Tues- Making this sausage and tortellini soup, but putting in the crockpot and adding tortellini at the end. http://allrecipes.com/recipe/13436/italian-sausage-soup-with-tortellini/
Wed-
Thurs-I'm thinking we'll eat out tonight as we have to drive out to the far end of town to get our new bedroom set!!! Yay!!
Fri- Grilled steaks if they are on sale this week, if not maybe bratwursts... No idea on sides yet.

That's all I've got for the week! Have a great first week of Summer!!!

We just got back from vacation and we have ten months to reign it in and save towards our next trip. So that means very little eating out for a long time.

No particular order. I am still working through the freezer so some meals will be weird assortments. I am determined to get that chest freezer emptied and defrosted.

1. Grilled pork chops from freezer, something that looks like white beans, and cheesy jalapeño grits
2. Ham, applesauce, veg medley, seasoned rice of some sort
3. Breakfast, omlets, waffles, apple sauce (we make our own and have a ton frozen)
4. Bbq ham, salad, veg fried rice (or maybe the ham in the rice fried with Chinese seasonings?)
5. Mexican pizza
6. Tacos and Mexican corn
7. Mystery containers. One looks like a chili, one looks like soup beans. I will make cornbread.

Breakfast will be muffins, oatmeal and eggs (I got eggs for 49 cents a dozen and froze them scrambled). Lunch will be mystery containers from the freezer, soup, fruit, and sandwiches.

If I follow this plan I only need fruit, a bag of frozen veggies, milk, salad stuff, a block of cheese, an enchilada sauce, salsa, and corn. That isn't bad at all.
