I spent 2 hours at the grocery store yesterday buying groceries for the next 2 weeks. It is a challenge I gave myself. $250. and another $97. saved with coupons, that's $347 total! I came home to make 10 meals in the next 3 hours along with some chocolate chip cookies. Because the oven was on and if mom is in the kitchen and the oven is on- she must be making cookies. They were quickly eaten up by the kids and their friends. I cleaned the kitchen, ran the dishwasher and declared they would have to fend for themselves for dinner.
Here is what I made:
2 recipes of meatballs for spaghetti and meatballs. (the BEST meatballs)
1 recipe of barbecue meatballs (new recipe)
2 recipes of Lone Star Enchiladas(new recipe)
Lazy cooks chicken
Lime herb marinated chicken breasts
chicken pot pie
Taco skillet pie with cornbread
taco meat
Lets hope this lasts us a while. Fruit and breakfast food are what get me mid week. Thankfully we have an extra freezer in the garage, and a deep freeze in the basement.
The garage freezer is filled with drinks and the kids lunch foods, they take their lunch every day. It is cheaper and better for them. Westfield has the most expensive lunch in the county. Over $2 for the main entree lunch. Multiply that times 4 and it gets pricey! They also get more time to "socialize" since they aren't waiting in line.
Happy Monday!
