Eat at home

[charming23]

Last night we ended up having cheeseburger pie with sauteed veggies. Tonight is going to be leftover night/ whatever you can find. My grandma took us out to lunch as a thank you for getting her out of her house and to the grocery. So neither of us is too hungry.

So I don't have time to make my chicken noodle soup because my oldest Brock her pinky so at her request Mexican takeout

Oh poor girl. Mine broke her ring finger a few years ago and she swears the shot to set it was the most painful thing she has ever experienced!

We are having dinner at home tonight. Hot dogs, chips and apples so not great, but it's at home.

My biggest problem to budget busting is DD. She is 14 and is constantly asking to get a drink here or me to pick her up dinner there. She is fast and loose with other people's money. It makes me nuts saying no over and over. This weekend she is on a retreat but they needed to bring $ for dinner tomorrow. It's at a convention center so you know the food is going to cost a fortune. Grrrr.

Cool idea! I always plan my meals. I just found this thread and will use it for my menu starting Feb 12th - but for this week we are having:

Friday (Tonight, already eaten) - Turkey Paninis and Applesauce
Saturday - French Dip in the Crock Pot, Salad and Red Wine (for me, not the kid )
Sunday - Superbowl! (Go Packers!) - Quite a bit of junk food
Monday - Chicken Fajitas and Grilled Zucchini on the panini maker
Tuesday - Baked Fish, Mixed Veggies and Brown Rice
Wednesday - Whole wheat pasta, organic tomato sauce and turkey italian sausages
Thursday - Leftovers
Friday - We actually have plans to go out for dinner

Poor thing. A few years ago my dd ended up breaking 4 fingers in 6 months. Actually 3 fingers because one was at the 1st knuckle and then at the base but at seperate times. The one at the base was broken into the growth plate. Luckily it healed properly. I remember that one because we were a week from going to Disney and she wanted to ride the roller coasters. Her orthopedist taped it up with a splint and said go and have fun. I was a wreck hoping she didn't hit it and knock the piece out of place that would cause surgery. I kept saying "hold your finger off the handlebar". She was annoyed by the end of the weekend. I was annoyed by the end of the 6 months personally.

Don't get me started on why her leg is in a cast now or why 2 years ago we were in an ER because she slammed into a 3rd story window at a hotel. Hope your dd heals quickly.

I am heading out to a late lunch with my best friend and my mom is out with her best friend for the day, so dinner is going to be a simple meal of chicken paprikash soup and biscuts.

My kids love, love, love the potstickers! I don't even have to do the fry and steam thing anymore. I just boil them in water for 8 minutes and you would think I was Kat Cora. I do them and make home made pork fried rice and everyone is in chinese food heaven.

We ate the meatball subs that I was going to make today last night. I thought we would have too much to eat with the Pineapple terryaki chicken wings I am making along with the buffalo blue cheese chicken dip.

We got fast food last Friday night. I goofed! When I plan my meals, I make my grocery list. If I'm following a recipe, I make sure I go through it all. But I was making meatball subs and don't need a recipe, so I forgot to buy tomato sauce! Hello! I went through everything in my head, but forgot the sauce!

Oh well! This weeks menu:
today, Sun- Freschetta pizza
Mon- breaded chicken--dd fav!
Tues- citruis BBQ pork chops
Wed-tostada pizza
Thurs-pancakes, eggs and bacon
Fri-trying meatball subs again!

I have to say that I feel like crap after eating junk food this weekend.

I think the recipe for Chicken brushcetta looks wonderful and I would like to try it. I looked at the recipe and it says to mix the tomatoes and water, but it doesn't say how much water. Is it the amount of water you would normally use to make the stuffing? Thanks for your help!

I haven't made that recipe, but it does look good. It doesn't seem like you would need any water since it uses 2 undrained cans of tomatoes.

That's kind of what I was thinking. Thanks, I think I'll try it in the next few weeks. BTW, I did your taco soup from your website and it is WONDERFUL! My kids love it and it is sooo filling. Thanks, I just love your site. I have found some of the best recipes ever there.
