Last week saw 3 nights of home cooked dinners, 2 nights of leftovers/planned overs or FFY and 2 nights of Take-Out/Eating Out. More Take-Out than I like to have but "election working happened" so it was not eat all day or get Take-Out.
Didn't cook the squash so that moves to this week. No Romaine lettuce so that meal didn't happen either but I bought salmon and chicken thighs so that happened instead.
What got put into the freezer last week....
* 3 packs of sausage strips
* 2 packs of chicken thighs
* 1 bag of veggie mix
* 1 box of popsicles
* 1 piece of salmon
What got taken out of the freezer and used...
* I piece of salmon

What do I need to buy to fix everything on this menu? I had a leftover pack of mushroom I didn't need for the Stroganoff so I'll make 2 quiches this week and freeze one. The only thing I "need" is salad greens. That doesn't mean I won't buy anything else however. lol I am working on a $10 Ibotta bonus after all and I have 18 offers to finish before the end of May. I do as many offers as I can at Rite-Aid(which will be Zero dollars and the rest I'll pick and choose what is needed and/or cheap after rebate at Weiss(PMITA)Markets and/or Walmart. 8-)
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?
