Eat at home 2!

[lattemomof3]

Just checking in. We welcomed our beautiful daughter McKenna faith on Friday.

Eating at home is my only option for a very long time. Our church's going to bless us with meals for a few days which will help greatly.

Keep eating at home everyone ! And welcome to anyone new!

Congratulations! That is such a beautiful name!

I've been MIA for several days, haven't been on the boards due to some crazy sports schedules. We've been eating in, mostly quick things like frozen ravioli, quesadillas, scrambled eggs & the like. We did a Valentine breakfast with Rhodes cinnamon rolls, sausage & fruit & I surprised the kids by decorating the table with Valentine balloons, table cloth etc, that was fun! Last night was
chicken parm w/ spaghetti, tonight is a sloppy Joe casserole, ds is at wrestling so we'll be eating at 8:00 again, sigh.

Yesterday I went out and got the last few things we needed to round out our meals for the next week. I only spent $17. Everything else we have in the freezer/pantry to use up.

Tonight we are either going out with my grandma or having lasagna. Which ever we do not do tonight, we will do tomorrow.

So far for the menu for this week is:

Mahi Mahi with couscous
Shrimp and chicken etouffee over rice
salad in taco bowls with blackbeans and chicken

I also have a ton of Groupons to use! I plan on using some when my hubby has off next week.

Haven't posted our menus this week, been super crazy around here! Last night we had a tenderloin and homemade mac & cheese (John Legends recipe on Martha Stewarts site). I wasn't impressed with the mac, I have yet to find a homemade recipe that I like. My dh loved it, go figure.
I think tonight we'll do popcorn shrimp, rice, and salad.

We had a chat here, and decided to change up our EAH ways. This thread was so good for changing our eating out several days a week habit!! Now that we have changed our ways and are learning to budget it all better, we realized that we can do a reasonable mix. We've decided that once a week our daughter can choose a meal to eat out...she prefers quick, easy meals brought back home to enjoy so I will budget $20 a week for that. She likes Subway, local pizza joint, Chinese etc.

My husband I were missing being able to go out to eat, more from an entertainment, relaxing standpoint than budget concern. We've decided to add a date night every other week into the monthly budget. We'll alternate choosing the place to go. Dd is welcome to join us any time, but she said she'd enjoy having the house to herself a couple times a month!

Tonight- Dd's choice. She saw the Pizza Hut $10 pizza box deal and wants to try that. I'll be back with the rest of the week!

But I went shopping today and tonight will be

Steak and potatoes.

Sat. chicken sausage and potatoes.

also our downfall can be the weekends- so I made sure I have plenty of lunch options for the long weekend.

Good afternoon everyone...

Well we just returned from 12 days in the Caribbean and real life has hit hard, I sat down to make out a menu and go grocery shopping.... Ughh, so we are eating lots of grilled proteins and salads this week to make up for all the food and drinks this past two weeks.

Anyway, looking forward to jumping back in.
