What I Spent
I didn’t do any grocery shopping this week at all…but maybe by next Friday, I will be cooking AND shopping!
It all depends on the weather; I have the keys to the house I’m renting, but I need a combo of non-rainy weather + availability of my dad and brother in order to move into the house.
And it looks like this weekend, the skies are just going to rain, rain, rain.
But, it will be ok. The skies will eventually clear. It can’t rain forever!
What We Ate
Saturday
One of my nieces had a little birthday gathering; we had burgers, beans, oven fries, and the family orange jello salad.
Doesn’t her cat have the cutest nose??
Sunday
We all just fended for ourselves! 🙂
Monday
We had a creamy tomato tortellini soup, salad, and some ciabatta rolls.
Tuesday
Zoe had two fillings, so she was only up for yogurt at dinner.
And poor Sonia had an asthma attack, so we had a little ER visit (she’s ok! The medics always get her fixed up in short order.), and I do not even remember what I ate after the ER visit.
From a 2021 ER visit 😉
Wednesday
I made two pizzas; one cheese, and one pepperoni. The time around, I had my beloved King Arthur bread flour, and my mom agreed that it does make a superior pizza, even when compared to King Arthur all purpose flour.
Here’s the pizza recipe I use.
And here’s why your homemade pizza might be terrible. 😉 Flour is definitely on the list of reasons!
Thursday
We had quesadillas after Zoe’s evening class. Sonia has been cautiously eating some things like quesadillas, and it seems like so far she might be tolerating them ok.
So, maybe some harder cheese can be back on her menu!
Exciting possibilities.
Friday
My mom is making this baked potato soup, I believe.

Can’t wait to see your new place! I’ve been using your baked potato soup recipe since the day you published it. It is the best!

This week was light on the WIS side, $18 at Aldi & $38 at Kroger. WWA - roast beef, potatoes & carrots, cornbread Leftover roast beef in gravy over noodles, green beans, cornbread Hamburgers & fries Shrimp, cheesy broccoli & rice, cheddar garlic biscuits Homemade pizza - tried a new crust recipe & won’t be using it again. It was supposed to be a time-saver, but the crust was too crispy for our tastes. Not sure about this weekend’s eats. Today is Derby Day here in KY & of course tomorrow is Mother’s Day so I may treat myself to a “no cooking” weekend.

I have never commented on the What-we-ate. By Friday I can honestly never remember. Monday was fajitas, a Cook’s Country recipe. I love them so much. Tuesday was a fend for yourself day. I do that whenever I have no idea what to make. My kids are all older, so it works for us. Wednesday, I have no idea. Thursday was bean burritos in honor of Cinco de Mayo. Friday/today was pizza.
Mostly I just wanted to say Congratulations on the new place also on being reunited with your cat. Pets seem to bring smiles when we need them most.
