What is getting fixed and served at your house this week?
Was last week's plan successful, did you go off plan or did you not even plan what was going to be eaten last week?
Any great deals on food at your stores this week?

Let's see - I think we stuck to the menu plan for the entire week last week, and no meals out. Except, we had the soup that I was planning on serving tonight for lunch over the weekend, because. . . everyone is sick. So, I'll need to rejigger that. I've also noticed that appetites are increasing (soccer practice is back & the boys are growing like weeds), so I need to likely make one more meal on the weekends for serving on weeknights.
ReplyDeleteMenu this week: a pasta casserole tonight, leftover homemade pizza tomorrow, soup & pasta on Wednesday, fiesta chicken rice dish on Thursday, & anything leftover on Friday. if no leftovers, something out of the freezer.
Best deal at the grocery store: I was going to stock up on chocolate chips at Costco, and found the smaller bags on sale at the grocery store for $.57/bag. I was able to buy as many as in the Costco bag for about 1/2 price. #win
We stuck to our meal plan and did not eat out last week. Hoping to continue the same this week. :)
ReplyDeleteMeal planning? Since pulling together our Super Bowl snack feast, we have just sort of eaten whatever landed in a bowl, or on a plate. This week has not been good for planning of any kind.
