The "Barbecue Pork 2.0" Edition--
You know those "Taco Bake Rings" folks make with crescent roll triangles and taco filling? Well I had rolls of crescent roll dough and leftover pork barbecue so I made a BBQ Bake Ring last Sunday for dinner. BBQ, add cheese and voila!

Last week saw 6 nights of home cooked dinners, 0 nights of leftovers and 1 nights of Take-Out. The menu changed as the week went on. the Ka-bobs didn't happen but London Broil did.
Hubs DID cook one night but I have to plan it for him and he can't do anything "complicated" so in the end, it's better if I do the cooking. sigh.
Maybe as time goes on he'll feel my adventurous and want to try something outside his "wheelhouse"(aka pasta). lolz
I made 2 small trips to the Weis Markets and 1 trip to the ShurSave Market, plus Hubs and I spent a little at Walmart and the Bread Outlet. All totaled all the food spending came to $108.30 OOP. This brings my July food spending total to $224.42. There are 14 days left in the month.
My savings percentages last week was 46.59% which brings the month's percentage to 46%.
Leftovers going into this week........spaghetti sauce, 1 piece of London Broil, pizza, 1 chicken thigh, rice and stir-fry veggies. All the 4th of July food is finally gone.

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?

I like the look of your bbq ring. This idea could fool people who hate leftovers.
ReplyDeleteI had a friend who lost her ability to walk or stand after a failed knee replacement. She instructed her husband from her wheelchair how to cook many things.
These were people who always looked up recipes in order to have the ingredients, so they experimented all the time, trying new things.
After about ten years she was listening to her son in CA talk to her husband. Her husband was sharing a recipe. She said it boggled her mind to hear her non-cooking husband "talk cooking." There is hope for all men after that!
Oh my goodness, that bbq bake looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteNot sure about deals here, since our food ads come out on Wednesday. Fingers crossed there will be something decent.
