What I Spent
First, how about a kitten picture?
The cat rescue we volunteer at has opened back up again, with social distancing measures, and we had a lot of kittens this week!
Kittens are so so cute, but every time Zoe and I take care of them, we remember why we like our older cat.
She’s so much better for snuggling. Kittens only want to snuggle for a second and then they want to run! climb! play!
So, grocery shopping: after not doing an actual shopping trip for weeks, I went out and bought ALL OF THE GROCERIES.
I spent $285 on my shopping extravaganza.
What We Ate
Saturday
I made Swiss mushroom chicken, roasted baby potatoes, and some kind of produce that escapes my memory.
Sunday
I made grilled pizzas (one without cheese for Sonia), and the weather was so nice, we ate them out on the deck.
Monday
We had grilled ham and cheese sandwiches, fruit salad, sliced cucumbers, and sautéed asparagus.
Tuesday
I made shrimp pasta, sautéed asparagus, and fruit salad.
For Zoe, I made cheese tortellini because of her shrimp allergy.
Wednesday
I could not find my motivation pills anywhere, so we got fast food for dinner.
Thursday
I found maybe half of a motivation pill, so I made BLTs for dinner.
Those are so easy, they can be made on half a motivation pill. 😉
Friday
I think we are possibly having a socially distant gathering with Mr. FG’s parents tomorrow, and if that’s the case, we’ll do our date night tonight.

Your menu inspired a hunt for all of the new foods to me. Ajvar may need to be added to my list of foods to experiment!

How do you make a baked bean toasties with spinach and cheese? I love spinach and am always looking for different ways to use it!
