I have been mia due to a Disney trip! We had a blast and came home with NO money. So we are living cheaply.

Tonight was homemade pork dumplings and chicken and broccoli with rice. *poor man's chinese food I suppose. Dumplings are so cheap to make and my kids LOVE them. I had ground pork- just added ginger, soy, chives, soy for filling. mmmmm.

Tomorrow is going to be Roast Chicken, rice and broccoli maybe homemade rolls of some kind. I am hoping to rework the leftover chicken into Chicken Quesadillas later in the week. Also I am going to make stock out of the bones and use that for risotto.

Once a couple checks clear I'll be in a better food frame of mind. But I am amazing myself that I can make dinner out of nothing.

I am going to try to make my own pasta! Its just flour, water, egg and olive oil I think. And I have all those.

Tonight (saturday) we had pasta with chicken, roasted veggies, and cheese.

 

[tasha99]

Tonight: alfredo chicken penne pasta with salad

Sunday: hot and sour soup* and either pot stickers* or green onion pancakes (haven't decided)

Monday: hamburgers, cold vegies, dip

Tuesday: spaghetti* and salad

Wednesday: chili*

Making extras to freeze of all the starred items. I've realized I did a great job of eating down our food, and now I need to fill the freezers a little (though not too much since it's fishing season.)

I need to refill some of my freezer too. Means next weekend will be an expensive one for groceries. After this week I will have no steaks, no salmon, no chicken breasts, no ground beef, no white fish, and 1 pack of chicken thighs. Yea, that just won't do!
