This week’s menu plan

There was no grocery shopping this week (yay!) except for a $1.49 trip to the organic store to buy cilantro.

I would totally have bought another container of the world’s best sour cream while I was there, but they had none.

I hope this doesn’t mean they’ve stopped carrying it. That would be sad.

On the upside, the lack of sour cream kept my grocery shopping to $1.49.

Actually, I also bought a lollipop for each kid from the bulk bin.

At 15¢ apiece, they’re a pretty decent bargain, and my kids definitely get at least 15¢ of enjoyment out of them.

Our produce supply is getting woefully low (I think we’re down to half an apple in the fruit department), so I’m probably going to have to make a produce run sometime today.

For breakfast this week, we’ll be eating eggs, toast, fruit, yogurt, granola, and maybe pancakes if I am organized.

Lunches options will be sandwiches made with whole wheat bread, homemade yogurt, yogurt smoothies, cottage cheese, fruit, raw veggies, nuts, cheese, and leftovers as necessary.

Do you know what’s amazing? I didn’t bump anything off of my menu plan this last week…everything went pretty much according to schedule, which hardly ever happens.

Here’s the plan for this week:

Saturday

  • Pizza. I’m still debating which type to make.

Sunday

  • French Toast
  • local sausage
  • OJ or maybe Orange Julius if I am feeling inspired

Monday

Tuesday

  • Beef Enchiladas
  • fruit salad
  • chips and salsa

Wednesday

  • Tilapia Fillets
  • garlic bread
  • roasted veggies

Thursday

  • We’re having a weird weekend schedule, so we’re having our takeout date night a day early

Friday

  • Spaghetti
  • green salad

I love catching up on your site from time to time Kristin.

One thing that always strikes me is that I think Sonia looks like a mini-Betty Draper (January Jones) from the TV show Mad Men!

I have a question ... are there any farmer's markets in your area and do you ever buy produce from them? I don't see that mentioned much, so ... I was just curious. Love your blog. Thanks! :-)

Good luck using all the cilantro and having a no-waste week!

Pancakes are so inexpensive - and I make them sourdough, with healthier-than-wheat kamut berries - so I'm happy my DS wolfs them down on Saturday mornings.
