Did well last week. Switched a couple of days around, and one day DH really wanted to order pizza, but otherwise I stuck to my plan and stayed in my food budget.    Monday: Cuban Peef Picadillo, White Rice, Garlic Sizzled Mushrooms Tuesday: Panroasted Salmon and Tomatoes, Noodles, Broccoli Wednesday: Crockpot Roast Chicken, Mashed […]

I didn’t have a menu plan last week, and it really showed. Between no plan, and the hubby’s 3 day in a row craving for fillet o fish — well, we didn’t eat that well!  There were also no bentos this week. Well, there were lunches packed in bento boxes, but not packed well, […]
I did not stick well to my plan last week. I ended up not getting my shopping all done for the things we needed. But on the plus side, I didn’t actually shop for anything that wasn’t on the plan either. We had pizza one night (mom was in town), and went out one night […]
I only managed to stick to my menu plan for half the week last week. Going to carry over a couple recipes since I have the ingredients for them. I really liked the Bacon Cheeseburger Wellingtons; the boys had mixed reactions. I ended up using some hamburger from the freezer that had been pre-cooked with […]
Did pretty well last week. This week we have a couple new recipes and some old favorites.   Monday:  Meatballs with Spicy Lime Dipping Sauce, Pasta lightly dressed in sesame oil and rice wine vinegar, Asian Beans and Broccoli Tuesday: Garides Avgolemeno  (shrimp in lemon sauce) from Cat Cora for the Food Network Chef Cooking Challenge, Orzo, Green Salad […]
My week was beastly busy. I’m still not recovered and its Sunday night! Let’s just say that I didn’t stick well to plan last week and leave it at that. =0    Monday:  Quick Crescent Taco Bake, Black Beans & Corn Salad, Green Salad Tuesday: Coq Au Vin-Guine from Brian Boitano for the Food […]
I didn’t spend much on groceries last week. I didn’t entirely follow my meal plan, but instead we ended up eating out of the freezer and pantry more. The hubby wanted pizza one night, didn’t feel well another night (so I didn’t make what we’d planned, and just fed the kidlet and I something easy). […]
This week I used a few recipes that I have picked up from other folks’ MPM posts. I don’t always do a very good job of noting where it came from; I snag them and stick them with my recipes. If you ever spot one of yours and I haven’t credited you, please let me […]
 I didn’t do as well this week sticking to plan or budget. I was sick a good portion of it, and ended up buying convenience foods, ordering in and otherwise paying over and above since I didn’t feel up to cooking.  I think I can make up for it this week a bit. I don’t […]
