Week 8 was a great week in the food dept. because I cooked one time on Sunday and we pretty much ate it the rest of the week. Plus the boy even cooked one night for us. Yay!
Sunday it was warm enough to cook on the grill outside so we did a massive grilling session of burgers, hots, Italian sausage and chicken breast. During the week we made big salads, quesadillas, garbage plates, (that was for the boy and his friends) and just enjoyed having easy meals. The one night the boy made dinner he wanted chili and made it for the first time all himself. It was fantastic too!
I have been trying to eat more mindfully for breakfast. Typically I grab a bagel or a piece of toast and coffee and that’s it. Problem with that being half an hour later I am ready to chew my arm off, I am so hungry. I prefer a savory breakfast over a sweet breakfast. Sometimes I’ll even eat leftover stir-fry at 10:00 in the morning!
After researching savory breakfast ideas, I baked myself a loaf of black bread and 3 times last week I ate savory toast which consisted of eggs, cheese, spinach on top of the black bread toast. It was yum! I added a handful of red raspberries drizzled with honey for a side element and a cup of coffee and voila! Excellent breakfast.
I grocery shopped for this week on Sunday after church and spent $112.20. I had to buy a lot of expensive, once in a while items like A-1 steak sauce and Red Hot this week plus the coffee and Sahlen’s deli ham were each over $10. I didn’t get a pic of the butter, sour cream or can of whipped cream I bought but the rest is pictured below.
On the menu this week: I gave the “What’s for Dinner” list to the boy and asked him to pick out what he wanted for dinner this week. He wisely chose scalloped potatoes and ham, chicken Kiev and breakfast for dinner. We also have cheap steaks on the menu, big salads and probably a night or two of leftovers.
