The "Just Not Feeling It Still" Edition................

This sinus/ear thing still has me not feeling like eating anything the fam wants to eat.  My taste buds are still off so it's been more soup, noodles, fruit, hot tea and Jello for me mostly.  I ate one piece of pizza last week, Hubs pork chop meal, the pork tenderloin and some rigatoni.  Besides dairy(cheese)I've been trying to stay away from anything with tomatoes in it as it seems to be an HS trigger food for me.  This makes me very sad as I love tomatoes... 8-(

Moving On....

Onward to the meal planning-

This is what was planned for last week.......

1. Sunday--Frozen Pizza(Hubs/Ex-CB, soup for me)
2. Monday--Chicken Broccoli Cheese Rice Casserole(using leftover roast chicken)
3. Tuesday--Pork Chops, Veg TBD, Noodles or Rice of some kind(Hubs is cooking this)

4. Wednesday--Leftover Beef Pie

5. Thursday--Spaghetti and Meatballs, Veg TBD

6. Friday--Leftovers?
7. Saturday--Leftovers?

And this is what actually happened--

1. Sunday--Frozen Pizza(Hubs/Ex-CB, soup for me)
2. Monday--Chicken Broccoli Cheese Rice Casserole(using leftover roast chicken)but I had something without cheese
3. Tuesday--Pork Chops, Brussels Sprouts, Mashed Taters(Hubs cooked this)

4. Wednesday--Spaghetti and Meatballs(I had soup)

5. Thursday--Pork Tenderloin Sammiches, Sweet Potato Fries

6. Friday--Rigatoni w/Meat Sauce, Salad
7. Saturday--Leftovers(I had Beef Pie)

Last week saw 5 nights of home cooked dinners, 2 nights of leftovers/FFY or TV dinners, and 0 night of Eating Out/Take-Out.
Mostly what was planned happened except I got cheap discount sticker panko-ed pork cutlets at Weis so we had those instead of Spaghetti on Thursday because the Spaghetti got moved to Wednesday.  My remaining sweet potatoes went bad so we had to sub reg. french fries that night too.

That was the extent of the food waste-those 2 sweet potatoes.

What got put into the freezer last week....
* Nothing

What got taken out of the freezer and used.....
* 1 bag of Meatballs
* 1 frozen Pizza
* 1 bag of Broccoli(from our garden)
* 1 bag of Brussels Sprouts

3 small trips to Weis(PMITA)Markets this past week in the amount of $45.82 brings my February Grand Total spending on food to $367.58 so far.
I've earned $88.37 in Ibotta rebates too in February so far.

My savings percentage last week was 55.41%(without Rite-Aid trips)and February's monthly savings total comes in at 49.27%(w/out R-A).  

I have 5 more food shopping/spending days in February.  I "plan" on getting some canned tomatoes(sale at Weis and I have Qs that will double to $1.60)and cup o' noodles that will be .01¢ OOP after Ibotta rebate but that's it for this week.

Leftovers going into this week.....Beef Pie(2 helpings), Chicken Broccoli Casserole(1 helping), Spaghetti and Rigatoni(lots), Meatballs and Meat Sauce(lots), some Brussels Sprouts and 2 Pork Chops.

Here is this week's "food plan".....

1. Sunday--Stuffed Jumbo Shells, Salad
2. Monday--Ex-CB birthday meal out
3. Tuesday--Chinese dinners(from freezer)

4. Wednesday--Leftovers

5. Thursday--Chicken Parm, Salad

6. Friday--Pork Teriyaki Stir Fry(and rice for some)
7. Saturday--Leftovers of FFY

What needs buying for this menu? Maybe some Mozzarella for the Chicken Parm is I use what I have on the Stuffed Shells.
The spaghetti and rigatoni from last week's menu? I can always count on Hubs to finish up any pasta dishes for lunches. lolz
