Not open for further replies.
It's been a crazy week around here. My low tire pressure light came on on Monday and I had a training an hour and 45 minutes away on Tuesday so we had to go and get it checked out. Nail in the darn thing...ugh! Sober grabbed Sonic while we were out.

Tuesday we had chicken lettuce wraps

Wednesday DH and DD ate at Burger King before dance and I grabbed Arby's on my way home from training.

Tonight DH had a "parent class" to attend (for when DSS 16 got caught egging :-/ ) so he grabbed something before that and DD and I had scrambled eggs and bagels.

Tomorrow is football and I have no idea what we'll eat but I'm waaaayyyy over fast food!

Thanks for stopping by! I don't blog as much as I would like because I am taking 9 credits this semester but I try to post when I try or make something new. I have to go grocery shopping today.

I might be making tamales this weekend. I get a credit in my Spanish class for it and we are all out! I usually make about 7 dozen at a time.

This is my menu for next week so far:
crock pot chicken pozole or chili
enchiladas
Shepherds pie (maybe in the crock pot)
tamales and sauce?
kielbasa and egg noodles
pressure cooker pot roast
taffy apple salad: been craving this one!
I think I am adding breakfast for dinner too with Trisha Yearwoods' quiche and I found these Hungry Jack instant hash browns that are awesome!
 


This coming week:

Tonight: Leftovers; leftover chili on baked potatoes
Saturday: going out
Sunday: low fat lasagna
Monday: Homemade pizza
Tuesday - choir night: leftovers
Wednesday: breakfast for dinner/omelets
Thurs - Sat: DH out of town; I'll eat out of the freezer here.

We'll see if we can stick to it!

Pizza is so easy to make at home! You can do it!
 
That's something i have never considered. Please share your fave recipes!!!

If you want easy, we love to do indvidual pizzas on pita pockets. Everyone can build their own pizza. We make it "old school" with tomato sauce, mozz cheese and toppings. We also like it with BBQ sauce, cheddar, grilled chicken and chives.
 
homemade pizza is on the list for next week now. I am liking the ind pizza's. I just got back from the grocery store or they would have made it this week.
Sat- steak au gratin potatoes
sunday pork roast, pot and corn(new recipe for the pork roast
monday lasagna
tuesday pork chops with potatoes in the oven and green beans
wednesday mamwich and a pasta dish
thursday cheesy noodle casserole(new recipe)
friday beef roast with potatoes and carrot
saturday eat out
sunday crab rangoon and fried rice that was supposed to be tonight but mac and cheese instead ran out of time
Hopefully we can stick to it this week. Our grocery bill was 48 and change. I still have to buy a beef roast and some lunch meat but that shouldnt be over 20 so we are doing well keeping under 75.00
I need encouragement though I want to go eat so bad right now. We wouldnt be going out next weekend except its our town's festival and we have friends from out of town coming in for it.
I know it will be worth it when we are deluxe dining in disney in dec but....
 
Tonight, we are on the naughty list.:

Reindeer meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and steamed broccoli.

(Actually maybe not that naughty. DS14 says he thinks Mrs. Klaus makes meat pies, and since there are no cows up at the North Pole, Santa has a little secret.)
 
Hey all.

My meal plan is out the window atm. Wednesday night I had to rush my mom to the hospital due to her having trouble breathing and being ill since the previous Saturday. Well, she is still in there and will be until Tuesday. They found lesions on her liver and maybe her lung so they are running a bunch of tests to figure out what exactly it is. I don't usually ask for prayers, but we could really use some right now.

Last night we went out to Brown Bag Burgers for dinner. We used a coupon and both ate for under $10.

Tonight is spaghetti with meat sauce, salad and garlic bread.
