Everyone in the world has snow today, but us. Sigh. I love snow. Frostmen, frost balls, and frost angels are just not the same!
Here is what we'll be enjoying this week for dinner. Reminder: lunches are leftovers for Troy and myself, and Jack always has a PB&J, and a few sides for lunch. Breakfast for Troy and myself are smoothies, or eggs and toast, and Jack has breakfast at my aunt's.
Monday:: roast chicken (have whole chicken in the freezer), asparagus (have in the freezer), and sweet potato fries (have in the freezer).
Tuesday:: Troy is making burgers! We have the grassfed ground beef in the freezer, I'm making hamburger buns on Monday, sweet potato fries (have in the freezer), and coleslaw.
Wednesday:: Spaghetti (have noodles in pantry) with marinara (have a bunch in the freezer from my last crock pot sauce batch), asparagus (have in the freezer), and home canned pears.
Thursday:: Apple pancakes, scrambled eggies, and bacon
Friday:: Crockpot chili, cast iron skillet cornbread, and home canned pears or peaches. I have all the ingredients in the freezer or pantry.
Saturday:: We're having friends over for dinner. They're are expecting their first child and are interested in cloth diapering. They're coming over for dinner and a cloth diaper hands-on tutorial. I'm making lasagna with homemade ricotta, no-knead dutch oven bread, salad with candied walnuts and pears, and apple pie.
Sunday:: Family dinner at my parent's.
This week I spent $60.63 on groceries. And I'm headed to Costco this afternoon and I'm anticipating another $30 ish.
I bought:
Ice cream (it was free and a treat for my MIL & FIL who was babysitting Jack last night so we could go on a date)
Jack's milk (So Delicious Coconut milk)
King Arthur Bread flour (I grind my own now, but still add 1 cup of KA to my homemade bread)
Organic carrots
Newman Own's organic pretzels
MORE satsumas - we can't get enough!
Organic celery
Shredded cabbage/coleslaw mix (the organic cabbages were HUGE and I knew I couldn't use the whole thing before it went bad)
Organic beets
Organic bananas
Natural ham from the deli
Two 6-packs of Hansen's soda. It was on sale, and a fun treat
$20.09 at our local butcher for chicken breasts and bacon
$3.50 for a half gallon of raw milk

A cast iron skillet is the ONLY way to make good cornbread! Do you ever cook/steam cabbage for a meal? It's great with onions cooked with it. I put knife-shredded cabbage in soup.
ReplyDeleteI concur! It makes it the perfect combo of soft and crusty!
DeleteI don't, but my MIL does and it's amazing. I've been meaning to add it to a dish some time. Jack won't eat it, so I'll have to make some soon.
