What I Spent
cottage cheese, frozen bananas, frozen strawberries
This week was heavy on the leftovers! Which is a little unusual for me. 🙂
This week, I spent:
- $95 at Aldi
Annnnnd that was it! Also….zero takeout for us this week.
What We Ate
Saturday
I had an extremely productive day in many ways, but the productivity did not involve cooking. Ha. I just baked a frozen pizza for us.
Sunday
I made a Cook’s Country recipe for what is basically a chili over cilantro lime rice, topped with a cilantro/lime crema.
Monday
Chicken tikka masala on naan.
Tuesday
I ate a peanut butter sandwich on a dinner break at clinical (I have a later shift for peds. BOO.) and I think Zoe ate some leftover chicken from Monday.
Wednesday
Chili leftovers.
Thursday
Zoe was out with a friend for some Halloween fun, and I ate the last of the chicken tikka masala.
Friday
I think both Zoe and I will be home tonight and I think neither of us has a pressing due-in-short-order school assignment so, perhaps we will do some takeout and Gilmore Girls. 🙂

Those recipes sound good! Friday and Saturday have left my brain completely. Probably take out on Friday. Sunday: pan fried cod with rice and veggies Monday: chicken gyro rice bowls with roasted vegetables, hummus, and avocado Tuesday: Asian tofu with veggies and rice Wednesday: salmon with roasted carrots and roasted potatoes Thursday: grabbed some fried chicken with my grocery pickup and we had that with salad for the adults and fruit/cucumbers for the little before trick or treating Classic small child moment: there was a brief tantrum because my little is dressed like a cat for Halloween and so OBVIOUSLY we should have had fish and milk for dinner. Where do kids get these ideas! Friday: good question! I am in the mood for mashed potatoes and corn, so probably that and something else

WIS: I spent all over the place this week. My husband got pizzas for dinner when I got back late from visiting a friend and I spent about 104 @Giant for a bunch of clearance items, but I was overcharged so I'll have to go back for a refund tomorrow. I also spent about 78 @Aldi and then about 50 at two stores for Halloween treats for my kids plus another 11 on a take out pizza for my coworker. Well, some weeks are just like that. I think this week I might skip shopping.
WWA:
Fri: salad and focaccia.
Sat: salad and Halloween shaped pasta with pumpkin chipotle sauce. Did I find the pasta at Aldi for .26 cents a bag? Yes. Did I buy several bags? Yes, yes I did.
Sun: this was the night I got home late so we had takeout pizza.
Mon: salad, baked potatoes stuffed with creamed spinach, leftover Korean barbecue from lunch out with my friend.
Tue: salad, roasted honeynut squash, homemade bagels with cream cheese, smoked salmon, olives and capers and pumpkin cake roll for dessert.
Wed: salad, yummy mummies (hotdogs wrapped in crescent dough) and chocolate pudding pie.
Thu: my parents visited for Halloween and we had Halloween shaped pasta with pumpkin chipotle sauce and homemade bread sticks.
Tonight: focaccia and salad.
Have a great weekend, everyone!
