Everything was served as planned except for the Salmon/Crabcake meal on Thursday. This will go on this week's menu. I made a double batch of the Mac & Cheese on Tuesday. The half we didn't eat that night, I assembled but didn't cook. This portion went into 2 small casserole dishes and put into the freezer to be cooked fresh as side dishes for 2 meals in the future.
The Beef Bourguignon was a smash hit! I took photos while making it and will be posting 'my take' on this recipe.

Last week I spent $75.68 on food counting 2 trips to Weis and all the food purchases at KMart that cost me anything out of pocket after doubled coupons($25). A full $15 of that amount was candy for handing out at Halloween. Chocolate is getting so expensive that you need a second mortgage on your house to give it out at Halloween.lol About $10 was money out of pocket on 'real food' at KMart after doubled coupons. $50 was spent at Weis on the few things I needed for my weekly menu last week and on 11 packages of meat & seafood.
This week's menu shopping list contains steak rolls....that's it besides the usual milk purchase. I have a $7 OYNO Catalina that expires tonight for Weis, so I will be picking up a few other things in order to use that coupon. I'll get the steak rolls, yogurt and ??
I won't be buying lunch meat this week for daughter. She wanted turkey this week so I'm roasting a turkey and she can take leftover from the bird for her sandwiches at school.
I'm going to try to stay out of the grocery store this week after spending that $7 Cat today. Wish me luck!
Food Waste Report....We had 2 failures this week. A couple of sausages that got pushed to the back of the fridge and got too old to eat and a small bowl(1 large helping)of spaghetti that turned into a science experiment.lol
