Just back from the market:

Sunday: chicken, peppers and pasta (cook extra pasta and chicken for later in week)
Monday: burgers, corn on cob, cucumber/onion salad and macaroni salad,
Tuesday: chicken ceasar salads, ice cream brownie sundaes
Tuesday evening entertaining coworkers: cheese plate, shrimp/horseradish spread, melba toast/crackers, fruit kabobs, peach wine and champers with fresh peaches
Wed: London broil, potatoes and green beans, grilled peaches
Thurs: grilled adobo pork chops, rice, salad
Friday/Saturday: traveling with hubby for work- dinner on the company both nights! Woot!


Breakfasts: homemade granola bars, fruit salad and Greek yogurt, bacon, egg and cheese muffin cups.
Lunches: picked up some turkey and cheese, will make some chic salad on Monday night, cottage cheese and melon, leftover mac salad

Kids playdates: I'm going thru a TON of food each week for snacks for my kids and their friends! This week: making double batch of brownies, popcorn balls, and I bought that massive bag of cheese balls from the grocery, and I have the fixin's for rice crispy treats and s'mores. I generally don't buy prepackaged snacks (like granola bars or cookies) but that giant bag of cheese balls was just too easy and with kids expected almost everyday it will disappear in a flash!

Have a great week gals!

Thanks for all the good thoughts. They moved my grandma to her own room today and she sounds a lot better.

Friday I worked late so we had Jersey Mikes subs for dinner
Last night we had spaghetti with meatballs and salad
Tonight we had Cincinnati chili over baked potatoes

This week we should be able to get back on track with eating at home. It is so expensive to eat out so much but it saved my sanity.

Thanks for all the good thoughts. They moved my grandma to her own room today and she sounds a lot better.

Hope your grandma is doing well!

So, I got a market assessment on the house and it was much higher then I thought it would be. Next step is to contact the realtor to get a realistic selling price to have for the courts (so they don't say I under sold later on). So things are moving but not nearly as fast as I would like.

I also got a new car yesterday! 2014 Subaru Forester. It was one of the things my mom requested I do with any money I got (trade in the two cars we had for one new one). Super excited!

And today I finished my meal list for next week so I could do my grocery list (farmer's market tomorrow). I also have moved things around this week because I skipped a couple dinners (ate a late lunch and wasn't hungry).

Tonight: Italian Style Meatloaf, Green Beans, Mashed Potatoes
Saturday: Vegetable Fried Rice
Sunday: Penne and Shrimp in Tomato Cream Sauce, Bread
Monday: Roasted Beet and Goat Cheese Salad, Bread
Tuesday: Vegetable Fajitas, Mexican Rice
Wednesday: White Chicken Chili with Corn Bread Crust
Thursday: Pork Chops with a Mushroom Paprika Sauce, Egg Noodles
Friday: BBQ Chicken Thighs, Sweet Potato Salad
Saturday: Cajun Tilapia, Roasted Squash, Asparagus
Sunday: Slow Cooker Chicken Tikka Masala, Rice, Steamed Broccoli

Well, I missed posting last week I made three different dishes, which two were hits and one had mixed reviews. I was very proud of myself. I couldn't seem to get my act together yesterday before the store, but hopefully I will have enough for the week. Here we go:

Monday - Shrimp caprese, watermelon, bread
Tuesday - Finally found a pork roast recipe, pork roast with onions and apples, its for the oven but I am going to try the crock pot, mashed potatoes, broccoli casserole
Wednesday - Chicken with quiona, salad
Thursday - shrimp creole packets, bread
Friday - not sure, maybe manicotti (again!, a fave around our house)
Saturday - too far to think!

Good luck everyone with the week. I will be posting later with my Chicken Spaghetti recipe as long ago promised!!!

Whew! I'm finally back!

We left BC June 23rd and have been homeless since this past weekend.

We drove from the west coast (thru the states) to Ontario and stayed with family until we found a place to rent in the GTA (greater Toronto area) and are happily installed in a beautiful, brand new townhouse!

Anyway, after shopping like a maniac (replenishing EVERYTHING from your fridge, freezer and pantry is exhausting...not to mention costly) we now have the wherewithall to make and stick to a meal plan.

Monday-Grilled cheese sammies and homemade broccoli cheddar soup
Tuesday-Homemade Chicken Tetrazzini
Wed-Homemade Beef Stroganoff
Thurs-Chicken souvlaki with rice
Fri-Out of Town to visit family

I have finally finished my summer Chemistry class and am doing my Nursing Assistant Clinicals at a nursing home this week. Whew! Tonight I am making a chicken, carrot, and sugar snap pea subgum of sorts.

Woot woot Tink! Congratulations for getting through Chemistry!

Last night I made empanadas. Would have ben easier with a tortilla press, but the kid loved them and it was different than just taco night.

Today will be London broil. Maybe into steak sandwiches? Or maybe just straight Lonon Broil. With zucchini of some kind. (mayb pancakes?)

Friday will be spaghetti and meatballs ith homemade pasta. A new adventure! Hey if I can make empanadas I can make pasta.

Saturday beef and broccoli

Sunday tilapia with rice

 

[purpledisneyprncess]

Monday: Pizza
Tuesday: Chili
Wednesday: my mom's Eggplant parm & spaghetti
Thursday: Not 100% sure about tonight-- maybe chicken and potatoes with a veggie.

Been doing pretty bad this week. I have not been feeling well for about a month now. Have what feels like a constant UTI but nothing shows on the tests. Yesterday I was in so much pain that I ended up at the ER and got some pain meds. Tomorrow I have an appointment with Women's Health at the Health Department and will see what happens from there. Luckily the pain meds do seem to help but I don't like how they make me feel in general. Worth it though.

So cooking has been on the back burner and I will most likely eat leftovers tonight. Got a whole chicken and sides from Fresh Market yesterday after going to the pharmacy.

Last night I used a new Cilantro and Lime Marinade on my chicken... Everyone liked it and I think it would awesome on fish for fish tacos. But I am the I only one who will eat fish tacos...

Tonight is chicken sausage, cucumbers fro
The garden, beans from the garden and pasta salad.
