What I Spent, What We Ate | You guys, it’s cooled down!

This post contains affiliate links.

Today, it feels like fall outside and I AM SO HAPPY.

It’s currently a breezy, sunny, low-humidity 60 degrees and my goodness, it is a blessed relief from the muggy and warm weather we’ve been having all fall.

I know I will get really tired of cold in a few months, but right now I am exceedingly pleased.

And I just thought you should know.

What I Spent

I spent $115 this week, including our Grubhub night and our pizza out night (see below!)

What We Ate

Monday

I made a meal from the Hello Fresh box that my brother didn’t need…it was figgy balsamic pork with potato cubes and roasted green beans.

It was pretty good, but somehow the pork tenderloin was a bit dry, even though I only cooked it to the temperature that usually works great for me.

So I’m not sure what went wrong there.

Tuesday

This is the night we did the Grubhub $10/$15 coupon, so we ate some pizza and pasta from a local restaurant.

(The $10/$15 Grubhub offer is available right here, should you want to use it for a Friday night treat.)

Wednesday

I went out for pizza with Mr. FG and the girls had mac n cheese.

Thursday

Turkey chili, with sour cream and Frito chips. 😉

Friday

I mean, I’ve had pizza twice this week and a girl can only handle so much pizza.

So, whatever we eat tonight, I can tell you that it will be something other than pizza. 😉

What did you eat for dinner this week?

P.S. Sending love to any of you affected by the awful hurricane this week. I am so sorry to see all the destruction it left.

A little late to the party, but thinking about the upcoming week is prompting me to remember what we had last week.

Monday: Sausage Egg and Cheese Sandwiches Tuesday: ?? Wednesday: Italian Surprise. Aka noodles, chicken, cheese and 3/4 of an open spaghetti sauce that needed used up Thursday- simple grilled pork chops and mashed potatoes with green beans Friday- Out to eat with my mom. Not planned, but unexpected family issues made it a quick fill the belly meal. Saturday- breakfast for dinner Tonight- not really sure but ground turkey will be the main protein.

Well, it's been an interesting food week. My chest freezer died. OY! Fortunately I caught it before it had completely defrosted, so I was able to salvage a good chunk of it. I tossed most of the meat because while it was still partially frozen, I didn't want to take any chances. I ended up cooking up tons of once frozen veggies, and I now have a fridge full of cheese & butter. The rest of what was in there was dry goods that were just in there to prolong their shelf life.

Soooooรขโ‚ฌยฆ Now I'm researching freezers. I'm really thinking of splurging and getting an upright model. Slightly less efficient, but much less of a pain to keep organized. Anyhow, it's been a week of eating what needed to be eaten!

I recently picked a Cooks Country paperback recipe book. A Main & a Side, really enjoying the recipes

This week turned out to be more exciting than planned (not in a good way-- DC1 had to go to urgent care for a boil on her arm, and then the medicine they gave her had red dye in it which gives her hives, and so on) so we ended up eating leftovers and getting take-out a lot. It was a little crazy doing menu planning yesterday and realizing we still had almost all the same meals as from last week's planning. Hopefully this week will be more relaxed and we'll actually make food during the week.

Ooh, I'm so sorry to hear that. Here's to a calmer week!
