What's on The Dining Table....the June 10th Edition

The "Eating Returns to Normal on Monday" Edition.....

      

I found this photo in my folder.  It's a supposedly a piece of "Texas Toast", probably from Zaxby's as they give you this as part of a Zalad meal.  I don't know about you but "Texas Toast" when/where I grew up was a THICK slice of bread, toasted and flavored.  This is just a piece of everyday, run of the mill toast.  What happened to Texas Toast?  And now I live 7 miles away from Texas and they call this Texas Toast??  I am amazed....lol

Onward to the meal planning!

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

1. Sunday--Roasted Asparagus, Chicken Tenders

2. Monday--Asparagus Risotto,(plus Caesar Salad for me)

3. Tuesday--Lasagna with Italian Sausage/Ground Beef sauce,(plus Salad for me)

4. Wednesday--Leftovers for me, Mashed Potatoes & Hamburger for Hubs

5. Thursday--?

6. Friday--?

7. Saturday--?

And here's what actually happened....

1. Sunday--Roasted Asparagus, Chicken Tenders

2. Monday--Asparagus Risotto,(plus Caesar Salad for me)

3. Tuesday--Lasagna with Italian Sausage/Ground Beef sauce,(plus Salad for me)

4. Wednesday--leftover Cheeseburger on bun and Roasted Potatoes for Hubs, big Salad & Roasted Potatoes for me

5. Thursday--Rotisserie Chicken, Garlic Mashed Potatoes for Hubs, The Chicken and leftover Green Beans for me

6. Friday--Broiled Salmon for both, leftover Garlic Mash for Hubs, leftover Asparagus & baked Sweet Potato Fries for me

7. Saturday--Leftover Lasagna(plus Salad for me)

I didn't realize what a PITA this low fiber diet for Hubs would be.  Luckily he was ok with 6 days of cornflakes and banana for breakfast, turkey sandwich on white bread with mayo and cheese for lunch so I only had to deal with dinners.  Some things we both ate and other things we went our separate ways.

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

*  Chicken Strips

*  Italian Sausage Meat

*  Ground Beef

*  Hunk of Salmon

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

Last week we spent $142.74 on grocery shopping for June.  How the heck did we spend that much and what did we buy?lol

Total shopping comes to $239.17 for June.   There are 20 shopping days left in June.  Gosh darn it, I am NOT spending any more $$ on food this month if I can help it!
