This Week on the Dining Table

The "It's Going" Edition........

Another typical plate of food for me on this Elimination Diet last week.
ugh.
I am so over potatoes now. lolz
Except for that lunch out last Thursday we have stuck to this plan.  Except I can't just eat potatoes after three days as they give me diarhhea(TMI, sorry).

We are up to adding in potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, cucumber, onion, corn, lettuce, tomatoes, sugar snap peas, cantaloupe, mushrooms, hummus, olive oil, tuna, chicken(white meat)and beef(ground and steak).  I ate some crackers the other day too but that was "my bad".
So far nothing is making my HS flare, even the tomatoes(nightshade).  Adding back bread and pasta will be a test for the HS symptoms.
Adding in cabbage later today.
Oh goody!

Last week saw 4 nights of home cooked dinners, 3 nights of leftovers/fend for yourself, 0 nights of Eating Out/Take-Out. 
With EX-CB working again he hasn't been eating much here and I've been doing my Elimination Diet thing so Hubs still has tons of leftovers this week.  We didn't need to make the corned beef or the roast turkey yet so those move to this coming week(or will stay in the freezer a bit longer).

What got put into the freezer last week.....

* 7.21 lbs. ground beef
* 1 pack of brats

What got taken out of the freezer and used last week.....

* bag of roast chicken strips

* 2 lbs. ground beef

* 2 steaks

* 1 pack of brats

* 1 box of corn dogs(Ex-CB)

A small trip to Weis  and a trip to Maines brought the food/toiletries spending last week to $77.39 and my June total to $77.39.

My savings percentage last week was 49.66%(without Rite-Aid trips)and June's monthly savings total came to 49.66%(w/out R-A). 

I have 27 more food shopping/spending days in June.

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?
