I missed posting but have a plan I am following. Last plan went out the window with the BBQ so I reworked it into this week. Grand daughters are visiting this weekend so I need a new plan and groceries by Friday. Lots of saving to do here - I just picked up my new car! Eeks!

I'm trying low carb and it's been boring!

Basically grilled chicken and salad. I do make sides for my family and they have their usual breakfast and lunches.

Tonight is pasta night, so just I may have a veggie scramble.

Are any of you vegetarian or vegan low carb dieters?

I eat meat, but I like to do so sparingly. All of my veggie recipes consist of pasta, tortillas, beans and rice!

@GlitteryOtters Sorry to hear you all were sick! At least you got it out of your way BEFORE your vacation!

Saturday the kiddo was really sick and hubby is fighting off some sort of cold. Knock on wood* I've been feeling great so I hope everyone gets it out of their system before our vacation next week

Here's what I've made and have planned so far:
Sunday- Grilled chicken, baked potatoes, corn on the cob, and green salad
Monday- Crock pot pork chops and gravy, Stove Top, steamed broccoli. I made M&M's cookie bars, YUM!
Tuesday- Ham, broccoli, & cheese noodle casserole
Tonight- Out for pizza to meet up with a friend
Thursday- Breakfast for dinner maybe?
Friday- Not sure?
Saturday- Frozen app night
Sunday- Game of Thrones watch party Grilled chicken fajitas and a friend is bringing a Dragon cake... not sure what it is but sounds great and fun!

Have a great week!

I eat meat, but I like to do so sparingly. All of my veggie recipes consist of pasta, tortillas, beans and rice!

Whenever I'm in my vegetarian phase (usually when I'm doing well $$$) I mostly cook Indian/middle eastern, Moroccan abd Greek recipes. I don't like to eat much pasta, and while I don't mind rice every so often I tend to stay away from it as well, so usually I'll just eat whatever vegetarian meal by itself as a main since they're usually pretty filling.

I need to get back to posting, I do so much better when I have a list made out. Our goal is to not eat out for 13 days.

1 - German sausage, kraut, peas, roasted Brussel sprouts
2 - BLTs, pasta salad, fruit salad
3 - chili Mac and corn
4 - baked ham, apples and peas
5 - ham quiche, fruit salad
6 - Waffles with fruit topping, sausage
7 - spaghetti
8 - patty melts, fries
9 - fried chicken, biscuits, peas, corn
10 - pepperoni, sausage and bell pepper pizza
11 - beef burgundy, noodles, veggie medley
12 - roasted chicken thighs, gravy, rice, peas, carrots
13 - Mexican casserole

Except for some butter, fruit and a bottle of red wine I have all this in my fridge/ pantry/ freezer. It is time to use up our deep freeze so I can start over. I am not happy with how it is organized. Easier to eat it than fix it!

I am going to try really hard to only spend $15 next Wednesday, and the next Wednesday on groceries. Ideally 2 OJ, milk, and produce. Fingers crossed that the Aldi ad is good

So, I am still on my super strict budget of $100 for 2 weeks and it includes any paper products, household needs, kitty litter, meds, and stuff like that. This will be for the foreseeable future so I can pay off credit cards that I let go (I know, bad me, but I'm trying to change I swear). Those payments are currently $220/month. I also downgraded my cable to basic cable and internet and have saved $100+ per month with that simple change (CRAZY!!).

I did my grocery shopping today and only spent about $75 so I came in $25 under budget.

Sunday: Leftover lasagna
Monday: Split pea soup and bread in the bread maker
Tuesday: Leftovers
Wednesday: Honey soy chicken thighs and veggie fried rice (have some asparagus and zucchini to use up)
Thursday: Leftovers
Friday: French toast casserole and sausage patties
Saturday: Leftovers

Sunday: Brats/Italian Sausage with corn on the cob (Kroger had 2 packs for $5 on the sausage which is 10 links. I will cook them all up at once and eat off them awhile)
Monday: Leftovers
Tuesday: Leftovers
Wednesday: Cheese rigatoni and meatballs, roasted red pepper sauce, and garlic bread
Thursday: Leftovers
Friday: Twice baked potatoes and a veg of some sort (bought a 8lb bag and will bake them all at once and freeze the extra)
Saturday: Leftovers

Sunday: Belated Cinco de Mayo party at a friend's house! (Also Gen Con event registration day which is the one "splurge" for the month).

Last Week's Plan:

Monday- rotisserie whole chicken on the bbq, some sort of side and veg (had the chicken with baked potatoes and salad)

Wednesday- Dinner at the farm with outlaws - (We all had spaghetti at the farm)
Rest of the Week:
Driving to Alberta to Comic/Entertainment Expo we volunteer and work as security with the guests (Some past guests I have worked with include NPH, Carrie Fisher, Peter Dinklage, Jillian Anderson)- this will be mostly eating out dinners (lunches are provided) Planned and budgeted for.

This Week:
Tuesday: Not sure- I'm thinking stuffed pasta tubes I have had frozen for a while and ceasar salad (we had some frozen appies out of the freezer and salad, DD had eaten with outlaws)
Wednesday: stirfry or fajitas as we have lots of peppers (either with pork tenderloin or chicken breasts) (we had BBQ chicken salads)
Thursday: BBQ'd chicken parts (I think we have some divided from a big pack thighs and drumsticks) quinoa and veg (bbq chicken drumsticks, rice, corn)
Friday: BBQ'd ground pork burgers, homemade fries (we had stuffed pasta tubes, salad, garlic toast )
