WIS, WWA | absolutely no grocery shopping!
What I Spent
I am very pleased to say that I did not go to the grocery store at all this week!
However, we did get subs on Wednesday night ($31), and we spent our date night budget on wings Saturday night, so there was a little bit of food spending.
I'm getting down toward the end of my two weeks' worth of planned meals, so this coming week will probably involve at least a small grocery run.
What We Ate
Saturday
Saturday is usually our date night, but we've been just opting to get takeout for the whole family on these nights instead.
This time around, Lisey said she was really wanting wings. So, we got carryout from a local wing shop.
Sunday
I made the skillet lasagna I mentioned in this week's Five Frugal Things post.
Monday
I made panini with chipotle mayo*, using the low-yeast no knead bread I made.
*I use my blended chipotle chilies and just mix them with mayo. This works great with sour cream too, for when you want something spicy.
We had buttered, salted, and peppered broccoli with our sandwiches.
Tuesday
I grilled sausages, which we ate on toasted and buttered buns. On the side: veggie chips, grapes, and apples.
Wednesday
We got subs from a shop nearby.
Thursday
Jambalaya, which I made using this recipe.
Friday
I think I'm going to make pizza again, as long as my housemates are agreeable. 🙂
We have had a lot of soup. We have had watercress and leek soup and curried cauliflower soup. One meal that fed us twice was beef bulgogi and Asian vegetables. Lots of eating down of the fresh veg. Other meals were pastrami and cram cheese sandwiches, tomato and cheese on crackers. Our imperial Queensland mandarin season has just started and we have eaten those as our main fruit. There was an apple crumble too.
Dinners this week included:
Mon: Baked Chicken, Potatoes and Veggies
Tues: Chicken Salad and Pizza Sticks (as always, just trying to clear the refrigerator out.)
Wed: Shepard's Pie
Thurs: Steak Quesadilles, Rice/Veggies
FriL Fish, Rice and Veggies
Sat: Stuffed Peppers
Sun: Not sure yet. Leftovers are likely.
I've never responded before but thought it might be fun. My hubby and I are retired and our 27 year old daughter who works at a hospital still lives at home. So our meals are for three. Lately dear daughter has been working crazy long hours so I've tried to incorporate food that can easily be reheated. I am vegetarian, hubby and daughter are not. They often enjoy my vegetarian entrees for lunch, just smaller portions.
I wish I could say that I didn't go grocery shopping but that certainly is not the case! I am scheduled for surgery next week so have been playing "Amish Housewife" to get as many vegetarian meals away in the freezer to make things easier. Also some meals for hubby and daughter. We tried a free delivery service from a local grocer as I'm almost afraid to go shopping any more and hubby is older than me. Our daughter has been working 13 hour days for the past two weeks so not fair for her.
Money spent - local grocer - $57.11 - I made it a small order as a trial. Service was extremely prompt. Contactless delivery but driver ensured we answered the door from a distance.
Safeway - got up at the crack of dawn to take advantage of senior shopping. Security was at the door to let everyone in singly. Only one family member/household. Staff wipe down your cart with wipes in front of you and spray your hands (or in my case vinyl gloves) with hand sanitizer and let you in individually, maintaining social distancing. Staff were at each aisle to ensure customers were adhering to the "one way" aisles and maintaining social distancing. You were not allowed to pass anyone in front of you. I guess this will be our new normal in Canada. Even though I arrived at the store at 6:30 am, I still waited 15 minutes to go in. My shopping took much longer than usual because quite frankly some people were being very poky in selecting their items (especially the cheese and soup aisles. I spent $255.88 but managed to get a Butterball turkey on sale no less! I was pleased to get almost everything else on my list.
Monday - meatloaf, buttered egg noodles, steamed green beans (fresh), sweet kale salad and a TexMex quinoa dish for me
Tuesday - sirloin steak (from delivery), roasted herbed potatoes, mashed rutabaga, last of quinoa for me
Wednesday - leftover steak, garlic couscous, oven baked zucchini, veggie fritters
Thursday - last of steak, mashed potatoes, oven roasted asparagus, leftover zucchini strips, veggie fritter
Friday - battered haddock, brown rice, sauteed fennel in butter/parsley, last of veggie fritter for me
Saturday- sweet and sour spare ribs, brown rice, steamed broccoli and cauliflower, veggie bean soup
Sunday - Easter turkey dinner with all the trimmings! Loads of leftovers for the following week. My surgery is on Wednesday.
Thank you for celebrating the ordinary during this difficult time. Here are the things we ate this week.
Saturday - We had take out from a local Bar-b-que restaurant. This is my son’s and husband’s favorite.
Sunday - We ate leftovers for lunch and dinner
Monday - Mediterranean Snapper, roasted potatoes and salad
Tuesday - Hamburgers, greens and sweet potato fries
Wednesday - Roast pork loin with shallots and mushrooms, rice and green beans (the pork had been in the freezer for several months)
Thursday - Chicken taco salad (used up some black beans and some roasted green chiles that I had frozen.)
Friday - Our farm bag was delivered yesterday, so I have a lot of fresh veggies on hand. I think that I’ll make stir-fry or pork fried rice with leftovers from last Wednesday.
Stay safe and Happy Easter!
Saturday: Meatloaf, baked potatoes, salad from MY LETTUCE HOORAY! Actually my lettuce and arugula, and my husband's green garlic (we have different garden interests), but still HOORAY! And delicious.
Sunday: Sourdough pizza. One with leftover diced Italian sausage, one with half sausage and anchovy paste and half onion and olives. Plus Rice Krispie treats made with generic rice cereal, so maybe I should just call them crispy marshmallow squares.
Monday: Elk stir-fry from meat I had previously prepped and marinated, then froze. Plus rice.
Tuesday: My triumphant casserole of leftover mutton taco meat, leftover refried beans, and the last torn bits from a bunch of bags of corn tortillas that I fried in corn oil, all layered with salsa and cheese. It was surprisingly good. We also had another salad with MY LETTUCE HOORAY!
Wednesday: Mutton--trimmed, sliced thin, fried with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika--mashed potatoes, sauteed cabbage and onions
Thursday: Pork butt cooked until shreddable and then fried the same way as the previous night's mutton, leftover mashed potatoes, frozen green beans
Tonight: Eggs of some sort. Dunno about the rest.
Have a lovely Easter weekend, whatever that looks like for you this year. (And whatever it is, I bet it will look different . . .)
Kristin, you never disappoint! BTW, I call them Rice Krispie treats no matter what brand of cereal I use.
Not sure I remember all my meals, but after cleaning out my freezer above my fridge earlier this week, I HAVE used up some odds and ends, so that's a win. For some reason I have lots of frozen cranberries--tonight's meal will be turkey meatballs with cranberry sauce over noodles. Yesterday I made chicken broth from the mystery meat I found (turned out to be chicken, ha!) and turned it into white chicken chili. I also made croutons for the first time from raggedy bits of bread I found hanging out in the freezer. My freezer space looks so much better and we get to eat! Bonus!
Saturday- Chicken enchiladas, with yellow rice (first time making out of American test kitchen magazine) Turned out ok, if I make again I might tweak it a bit)
Sunday- Chicken cacciatore in my Dutch oven (again a new one for me, from pinterest) turned out pretty good, will make again, when I have time to!
Monday- kids and I had fish sticks and mac and cheese. I also had some Brussels sprouts.
Tuesday- Homemade chicken Alfaro, I also had the rest of the Brussels sprouts.
Wednesday- Scrambled eggs, toast, pork roll.
Thursday- Hot dogs, tater tots
Friday- we are going to have Pierogi. that are being picked up later...
Everyone have a Happy Easter! how ever it may look!
Yayy for no grocery shopping! I had to go to the pharmacy on Monday so I stocked up on fresh fruit while I was there. They are talking about Detroit peaking this week so they are encouraging us to really not go anywhere for this week (even the grocery store).
Monday - Turkey chili and homemade french bread
Tuesday - Assorted sausages I found in the freezer that we grilled and pasta salad
Wednesday - I deep fried homemade chicken tenders and fries (I only make this a few times a year but everyone gets so excited when I do....its just so messy and time consuming....but so delicious)
Thursday - Grilled marinated chicken, dilly potato salad, and broccoli
Friday - Pizza
This week I was only feeding two people. Its amazing how hard that is to do!
Monday - Ranch Pork Chops, broccoli, small baked sweet potato
Tuesday - Pot of Beans with ham bone in Crockpot, buttery beer bread
Wednesday - Lemon Garlic Chicken, skinny mashed potatoes, kale
Thursday - Tomatillo Tilapia, sauteed snap peas with carrots, leftover masheds
Friday - Red Beans and Rice with Ham, salad
Saturday - Take-out {stay busy around the house...}
Sunday - Easter for two - might make a roast
Dessert this week was some cookie dough I discovered in the freezer. But I really want to make a strawberry skillet cake on Sunday, with Redi-Whip
***I'm trying hard not to be sad this Easter - none of my four kids will be here ):***
What is the bread in the picture? Looks yummy!
It's double chocolate zucchini bread, from King Arthur. Healthy? No. Delicious? Yes.
https://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/double-chocolate-zucchini-bread-recipe
I don't usually respond to wiswwa posts because my husband does most of the cooking and I can never remember what we ate. However, in the interest of sharing make it do strategies, I will share some of the stranger things we have eaten this month so others might get ideas. We have not left the house at all except to pick up our weekly farm share (which has been such a precious blessing-no composting of kale stems this year!)
Ok, weird but edible things from this month:
Scrambled eggs and frittatas using frozen eggs! I had frozen egg batches of 6 in zip locks about four years ago (bought when a loss leader). If you have freezer space and happen upon extra eggs, just crack eggs into a bowl, beat and pour into freezer ziplocks (sandwich size works), then lay them flat on a pan until they freeze and you can stand them upright later. I just defrost them sitting in a pan (in case the bag leaks) in the fridge overnight. I'm happy to report that the eggs were perfectly fine after FOUR years! I also froze in batches of two to use for baking.
Pickles and relish as a lunch veggie. I had somehow accrued about 8 jars of pickles in the bottom of my fridge-most I had made myself and couldn't bear to toss. Now I'm checking them and giving the edible ones to my little people instead of their normal veggie lunch side (carrots, cut peppers, etc). So far they are very happy with this swap!
Frozen fruit purée turned into waffle sauce. I had blended up and frozen a bunch of random fruit about to go bad last summer before we went on vacation-strawberries, apples, etc with the idea that I would put them in smoothies. I froze the fruit in baggies just like the eggs. It's still a little too chilly for smoothies, but hot strawberry-blueberry sauce with waffles? Yum, and fruit serving covered! Of course the waffles are made from sourdough starter excess.
We've also made sprouts every day to add to salads, used bacon grease instead of butter to conserve butter usage, made sourdough bread every day, and I've made yogurt using some milk I had frozen-again, super old-I'm finding all the treasures in my freezer! The milk had been frozen so long that it separated strangely, but tasted fine. So, instead of calling it yogurt, I added chopped dried fruit/nuts and brown sugar and called it "curds and whey." My kids happily ate it up while pretending to look for spiders! Maybe it wouldn't work for everyone, but I'm finding creative renaming helps when presenting bizarre substitutions.
Oh, and a mainstay from my childhood: hotdog sandwiches-cut the hotdogs lengthwise and lay them next to each other between two slices of bread. Ah...the familiar taste of creative poverty...happy substituting everyone!
If you have an excess of dill pickles and like the flavors of things like sauerkraut and sour cream, you might enjoy dill pickle soup (also cheap and low calorie). I sometimes skip the addition of the egg but we do top with a dollop of sour cream.
Polish Dill Pickle Soup
•2 tablespoons butter
•1 large onion, peeled and chopped
•1 1/4 cup chopped carrots
•3 garlic cloves, minced
•4 potatoes, any kind, peeled, quartered, and thinly sliced
•10 cups vegetable or chicken broth
•1 cup grated or thinly sliced dill pickle, from 2-4 whole dill pickles
•2 egg yolks
•1-2 tablespoons pickle juice
•1 tablespoon dill
Instructions
1.Place a large stock pot over medium heat and add the butter. Once melted, add in the onions. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, then stir in the carrots and garlic.
2.Once the veggies have softened, add the sliced potatoes, broth, and pickle. Bring to a boil and simmer the soup for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are soft. Use an immersion blender the puree the soup a little to thicken the base. Do not fully puree.
3.Remove 1 cup of soup base from the pot. Stir to cool. Quickly whisk in the egg yolks into the small portion of soup. Whisk fast so the yolks incorporate smoothly into the base, not scramble. Then whisk the egg mixture back into the pot. Simmer for 5 more minutes. This gives the entire pot of soup a luxurious silky texture.
4.Stir in 1 tablespoon dill pickle juice and fresh dill. Taste, then add more pickle juice if desired and salt and pepper as needed.

I'm hoping to shop today for enough for two weeks, but that depends on what I can find when I get to the store.
I had to get some other stuff in town yesterday and made one of those no-sew quickie masks of a handkerchief folded over two hair elastics, which are looped over the ears. My ears were killing me by the time I got home. I will be making other provisions today!
This week we had pork chops, which I get in a bundle from the farmer and I cooked all at once. I usually season and roast them, but this time I breaded them in cassava and coconut flour with onion and garlic powders mixed in, and fried them, which is my husband's favorite method. We had them at two meals, with sides of salad, golden beets and green beans. Maybe something else, too.
I cooked a chuck roast in the pressure cooker with carrots, celery, onions and mushrooms. We had the chuck roast twice, too. I also saved the juices and made gravy to go over cauliflower rice for the second round.
One night I served my husband a little pasta with cheese, pesto and lots of homemade sauce, while I had zucchini noodles with pesto and cheese. He isn't a big fan of pasta, which is good, since it can mess with his blood sugar levels, but he'll eat up that sauce.
And one night was uncured hot dogs with a side of potato salad and fruit for him -- bunless dog for me with a side of sweet potato chips and fruit.
One thing I spent money on this week was an order for a package of long term storage, freeze-dried fruits. I'm trying to lay up some food storage in preparation for hurricane season, but this quarantine has showed me that there can be other times when it would be good to be able to "shop from my shelves." I'm aiming for two or three no-cook, long-term storage items a month, so as to spread the financial hit. Of course, right now, companies selling long-term storage type foods are slammed, and deliveries are weeks out, but I bought peanut butter powder at my grocery store. (Shameless plug here for PB2, since it's made in nearby Tifton, GA. I have no affiliation with the company though)
Tie masks are great. But if u dont sew, you can cut a strip of tshirt fabric that's long enough to be tied on the back of your head and loop your masks bands on that instead before tying it.
We love PB2! We put it in our breakfast shakes, and also in our pancake batter 🙂
Use loops cut from tights or nylons, easy on the ears.
We havent gone either. Chicken pot pie made up of cooked chicken and broth from freezer and leftover dinner veggies, cheesy potato soup and biscuits, egg roll in a bowl, chicken parmesan made from chicken patties, roasted broccoli and chicken nuggets, lasagna with cream cheese and sour cream, we have no ricotta.
We tried curbside grocery pickup for the first time, and we tried to get three weeks worth of groceries (although I can already tell I missed a few things-trying to plan for three weeks is hard!)
Sunday: Mexican beans and rice
Monday: Stuffed pepper skillet (all the tastiness of stuffed peppers, but a lot easier)
Tuesday: Leftover night
Wednesday: Peanut butter pancakes
Thursday: Fish pie (like shepherds pie but with fish)
Friday: Leftovers
Saturday: We're picking up tamales from our local tamale lady
I've read this a gazillion times, but have never participated. Thought I'd toss my hat in to the ring this week!
Sunday - We made roasted squash and veggie soup. Oh.Man. Was this ever delicious! We served it with hearty beer bread.
Monday - Spaghetti with homemade Italian sausage marinara and a green salad.
Tuesday - We worked really hard that day and didn't feel like cooking so we had leftover soup and bread.
Wednesday - Skillet kielbasa with sauteed red onions/red /and yellow peppers.
Thursday - Coconut milk braised chicken thighs with peppers over jasmine rice.
Friday - We have leftovers of all of this week's meals, so it's clean out the fridge night!
Saturday - BBQ chicken pizza and green salad.
Sunday - Ham, scalloped potatoes, green beans, waldorf salad and deviled eggs. After all, it's still Easter!
We had Whole-meal Spinach pies, homemade pizza (made enough to make homemade freezer pizzas), probably a pasta dish (easy and a pantry dinner), stir fry. I wrote out as schedule for 2 weeks worth of dinners to keep us on schedule and out of the store. It has worked out pretty well. I have managed to stay out of the grocery store for 2 weeks which was my goal. We're out of coffee creamer, milk, and yogurt, but we can drink black coffee and I may have instant milk for baking. I should get condensed milk for coffee next time I am in the store. If I can find flour, I will make some breakfast rolls. We are also out of fruit (except for applesauce). I've got my next two weeks of dinner planned, so I should be good for another two weeks. I'm a vegetarian, so I have found it works best to cook all the dishes with more perishable items early in the two week cycle and freezing them and then move the pantry staple items (like pasta) to the end of the cycle.
We didn't have to buy anything this week until last evening when we ran out of milk. So my husband hit the grocery store to pick up milk, apples, bananas, and ice cream. Yes, ice cream is definitely a necessity! 😛
Saturday- I tried a recipe for crockpot lasagna. I didn't have high hopes but it turned out really well!
Sunday- I roasted a whole chicken. I was feeling too awful to make any sides (pregnant with #4) so we just ate cut up veggies with dip as our side.
Monday- Leftover lasagna and roast chicken
Tuesday- Chicken tacos to use up the roast chicken leftovers
Wednesday- Sloppy Joes with cut up veggies
Thursday- Sausages and green beans cooked on a sheet pan, brown basmati rice
Friday- My husband will be at church this evening to oversee the webcasting of our online Good Friday service (he's our church technical director), so I think the kids and I will have frozen chicken pot pie for dinner... because EASY.
I wish I could say that I didn't go to the grocery store but I was out of a lot of things (big things like dishwasher detergent, rinse aid and other things I buy in bulk.) At least I ended up getting some really good deals for the future (chicken wings for $0.99/lb? Yes, please!). I also bought a ham and a leg of lamb so that brought my grocery spending for the month way up. Though we shouldn't have to go grocery shopping for a couple weeks except for milk and produce.
But anyway, here's been my food plan:
Monday: Waffles, bacon, eggs, fruit etc.
Tuesday: BLTs and baked potatoes
Wednesday: BBQ chicken with rice, vegetables etc.
Thursday: Cleaned out the fridge
Friday: Probably fish. We're not Catholic but it's not a bad thing to eat fish.
We had:
Friday - a variety of leftovers
Saturday - Persian beef kebabs, rice & yogurt sauce
Sunday - Homemade chicken tenders
Monday - Crockpot carnitas
Tuesday-Thursday - a variety of the above three meals as leftovers
For today, I'll be making a bolognese sauce, using up a tomato sauce of unknown origin I found in the freezer.
No grocery shopping here either we did get Chinese take out once to support our fave local family business.
Monday Chinese take out
Tuesday. Grilled marinated pork cutlets. Roasted veggies. Mandarins. I had little to marinade. I used water garlic powder and whatever A1 I had left.
Wednesday. Pork cutlet fajitas. Bean and cheese quesadillas. Sliced apple
Thursday : leftovers. Fend for yourself.
Friday: garlic bread cheese pizza and steamed broccoli
Happy Easter dear blogging friends ! Be safe!
Instead of marinating meat, we have switched to dry rubs. Super flavorful and we always have ingredients on hand (like brown sugar, salt, garlic powder, some type of ground/powdered chile, dried herbs). Lots of recipes online.
We had shepherd’s pie, grilled sausage with roasted potatoes, leftover sausage became a pasta dish with onions, garlic, bell pepper, and parmesan, hawaiian food takeout, and a pasta dish with hamburger, and chicken Caesar salad with homemade croutons. Tonight will probably be pizza via take out. I also bought a wonderful loaf of sourdough from a local bakery and that became garlic bread for multiple meals.
Monday - Sheet pan dinner with chicken, asparagus, broccoli, and sweet potatoes
Tuesday - Sloppy joes, macaroni and cheese, and corn
Wednesday - It was crazy warm (71) so we had a fire in the backyard and made chili cheese dog mountain pies (grilled cheese for the one who didn't like the chili and hot dog part) and we made smoothies from a bunch of random freezer fruit. S'mores for dessert, of course.
Thursday - Sheet pan dinner of venison steak, asparagus, broccoli, carrots, and sweet potatoes. (The venison steak was supposed to be brats, but Aldi was out on Monday morning so I found the steak in the freezer and it worked really well.)
Friday - Salsa-cheese beef and rice. It has been years since I made this, but I remember liking it. We'll probably have pineapple, chips, and salsa for sides.
I enjoy reading everyone else's menus and getting ideas! Thanks for sharing!
This week starts our Spring Break. Since we can't travel anywhere, we are going to pretend and make every night a culinary visit to a new country. We started things off with a trip to India and enjoyed curry chicken. We also turned on some traditional music while we prepped the meal. It was so much fun. Tonight we are off to Italy for pesto pasta!
Aww! That's such a great idea! Do come back and share about the other countries you visited!
I love this idea! May have to give it a go... things definitely need some spicing up around here. I think my girls would love it!
We had a GREAT week of meals and started getting fish from a contactless delivery fish monger.
Saturday: Grilled porterhouse steak with shallot-herb butter, grilled green beans, mac 'n cheese, roasted beets
Sunday: Zucchini fritters with spiced yogurt, stewed white beans with crispy proscuitto
Monday: Tortilla España, pisto manchego, berenjenas con miel (fried egplant with honey and rosemary)
Tuesday: Roasted salmon with shallot herb butter; melted leeks, farro, roasted carrots & sautéed spinach
Wednesday: Albacore poke, rice, roasted carrots & broccoli, blistered shishito peppers
Thursday: Roasted herbed chicken, sautéed spinach, roasted parsnips & carrots
Saturday: did our weekly outing to a family owned store to try and help them stay alive. This week it was a different family owned pizza joint. They give free pan pizzas to any school aged kids who come by at the lunch hour, so we also left extra money beyond the bill for that.
Sunday/Monday/Tuesday: husband had banana pancakes and I had eggplant parm.
Wednesday: Polish dump casserole (https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/polish-casserole/), which I found because I had cheese, some kraut and a half a kielbasa and didn't know what to do with it. Made my own mushroom sauce, since we don't usually have canned soup around, and it was pretty good.
Thursday: Chicken Kiev, which I make by request only because it is sort of a pain, but the husband wanted it and I had all the ingredients.
Friday: Found an elderly trout at the bottom of the freezer, so will bake that.
We have to go to the store tomorrow, since we have no milk and no fresh fruits or vegetables left. We have been eating fruit or vegetable salad with every lunch or dinner and by last night the salad was looking pretty sad---but no waste! (Who knew that jicama tasted pretty good in a fruit salad...)

Thursday - Chicken Pot Pie Soup
Friday - Spaghetti and Meatballs
Saturday - Leftovers
Easter Sunday - Ham Steaks
Talk to me about that bread you have a photos of at the top of this post! Looks like maybe a chocolate quick bread of some kind? Yum! Do you have a recipe you could share for that?? It looks so good.
Sure! It's double chocolate zucchini bread from King Arthur. 🙂 https://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/double-chocolate-zucchini-bread-recipe
