I think I have decided to go with burritos for this week. I also found a few recipes for making and freezing egg sandwiches so will try those soon as well. It's nice to have something warm and filling at work to look forward to. Student matinees are simply chaos right now because we currently have 2 shows running and are often doing 2 shows of those shows. So yea... CRAZY!

How'd your burritos and egg sandwiches work out?

I have not been doing much cooking of late. My b'day was 11/22, and between that and Thanksgiving, been eating things other people have cooked for dinner, and leftovers, which works for me! Haven't felt much like cooking or eating. Been doing smoothies most every morning for breakfast.

We spent Thanksgiving with my parents. Both of the kiddos were out of town, DS was with his in laws, DD is a first year resident at Vandy Childrens and won't have a holiday off for two years.

I brought dinner. We had turkey, cornbread dressing, sweet potato casserole, green beans sautéed with garlic and apple/cranberry crumble. Even though I only made a turkey breast we had TONS of leftovers and ate those over the weekend.

New Here: It is just me and my 12 yr old son. We started going to the grocery store every other weekend when school started. I am shooting to switch to every 3 weeks or once a month. Then just grab milk as we need it.

Tonight-Steak and mac n cheese (I got 4 good sized steaks at Sams for $9 something. We can make each one be a meal).

Tomorrow-Cheese or chicken quesadillas

Thursday-Mini pot pies made from biscuits in the muffin pan. I have the filling froze from last time we had this.

Friday-We will have my cousins little boy with us so maybe hamburger helper with green beans.

Saturday-Taco Soup (will make enough to freeze for one meal and have again next week)

No menu this week for me. Yesterday my favorite aunt passed away and I found out that my father (80 next month) will be having heart surgery on Thursday so today I'm headed to my parents' house for who knows how long. I spent yesterday putting all of the stuff bought in anticipation of a visit from my brother into the freezer. DH will be fending for himself until I get back.

How'd your burritos and egg sandwiches work out?

I have not been doing much cooking of late. My b'day was 11/22, and between that and Thanksgiving, been eating things other people have cooked for dinner, and leftovers, which works for me! Haven't felt much like cooking or eating. Been doing smoothies most every morning for breakfast.

I never got the time to make them! Hoping to get them going for next week but I had NO space in the freezer to stock them. But I will be eating through some stuff up there so that should help.

I have been doing REAL bad at eating at home. Between work, being sick, and working on other projects here at home when I have time I have been so tired that cooking is just not on the radar. I have not even had a chance to wrap gifts yet for Christmas. Thinking it will be the year of pre decorated boxes and gift bags LMAO.

But I will finally get a chance to go to the store tomorrow after work and thus can hopefully get back to cooking (including those burritos!). So today will be the last day I eat out this month. Then I can work on January's meal plan (once I have my work schedule) and PLAN in a few "eat out" days so I don't miss doing it.

Does that make sense?

But anyway, here is my plan for the next few weeks:

Tomorrow: Steak, eggs, and potato pancakes
Thursday: Fried chicken with milk gravy, mashed potatoes, corn
Friday: Leftovers
Saturday: Sesame chicken, rice, sauteed spinach
Sunday: Leftovers

Monday: Work Christmas Party. I am bringing a couple different chex mixes
Tuesday: Pot roast, potatoes, carrots, and onions
Wednesday: Leftovers
Thursday: Cubed steaks, fried potatoes, gravy
Friday: No dang idea because I will be at work ALL day
Saturday: Chicken tenders, pasta with butter and parm, roasted carrots
Sunday: Leftovers

Monday: Slow cooker creamy chicken noodle soup
Tuesday: Leftovers
Wednesday: Xmas Eve at my cousin's house. We order Olive Garden
Thursday: Xmas day at my aunt and uncle's house. Turkey dinner
Friday: Hopefully I can steal a plate of leftovers lol
Saturday: Slow cooker loaded baked potato soup
Sunday: Leftovers

Monday: Leftovers
Tuesday: Glazed salmon, rice, and broccoli
Wednesday: New Years Eve, no idea atm but snacks if I stay home
Thursday: Steak, lobster, twice baked potatoes
Friday: Leftovers
Saturday: Slow cooker creamy Italian chicken on rice or pasta

I went a little bit overboard with holiday spending (mostly the big party I threw last weekend, which was AWESOME but man it's expensive feeding/liquoring that many people) SO I'm making a pact with myself to only eat dinners at home through the end of the year--unless I can somehow con my boyfriend into paying for it lol. I'm going to start by pulling a lot of things out of the freezer and pantry.
