Last week saw 1 night of home cooked dinners, 2 nights of leftovers/planned overs or FFY, 2 nights of frozen meals, and 2 nights of Take-Out/Eating Out.  
We had to go North for my 2nd Covid shot on Tuesday so we stopped on the way home for an early dinner at a pub with a scenic view.  Wednesday I wasn't up for much of anything but sleep and I don't know what Hubs ate(we had a few leftovers and I had bought him burritos at Walmart the week before).  Hubs heated up small tv dinners and a box of frozen green beans Thursday and we had pot pies from the freezer on Friday since I went out that day and it wiped me out(plus my chicken cutlets hadn't thawed in time to cook them that night).  Saturday I made a "proper" dinner....the first one all week! ;-)  It was a dismal culinary week meal-wise but we ate food and lived to tell the tale. lolz

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

1. Sunday--Shrimp and Crab Ravioli in White Sauce, Tossed Salad

2. Monday--Caesar Salad w/Chicken Strips

4. Wednesday-- Teriyaki Pork Stir-Fry w/Rice or Noodles

What do I need to buy to fix everything on this menu?  Might need more stir-fry type Veggies.  Otherwise everything else is coming out of the freezer/fridge/pantry.  It's not an exciting food week but it will get the job done.

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?
