WIS, WWA | blurry!

What I Spent

pink and white blossoms.

Man, this week has been a blur. I dunno how good I'm gonna be at remembering what we ate!

I spent:

  • $51 at Sam's Club
  • $15 at Safeway

So, $66 for me.

What We Ate

Saturday

I picked up Panera for Zoe and me, and it cost nothing because I had a gift card from my Erie Your Turn Rewards. 🙂

And I only remember we did this because I have a picture of my half-eaten strawberry poppyseed salad!

panera salad.

Sunday

I have no recollection and no pictures so...I haven't the faintest idea what to tell you.

I will get my head screwed on straight again after the semester.

Monday

Zoe was not feeling good, and she just wanted tomato soup and a grilled cheese sandwich.

Tuesday

I did a random pasta and veggies dish; the only meat I had in my fridge was some pepperoni, so I browned that and then browned the veggies (onions, peppers, zucchini) in the same pan for some extra flavor, and then I added cooked pasta, cream, and shredded cheese.

pasta with veggies.

 

Plus salt and pepper OF COURSE.

Wednesday

I pressed the easy button and cooked some cheese tortellini from Sam's Club and topped it with jarred sauce and shredded Parmesan.

Thursday

Leftovers from earlier in the week!

Friday

Well...I think I am coming down with whatever Zoe had this week (which was not Covid; we did test!) I feel so so wiped out today.

But luckily, I don't have any school stuff until this coming Tuesday, so if I am gonna be sick, this is very good timing. 

I can chill here at home and do my studying.

But I can guarantee you that I will not be making anything fancy for dinner. 😉

What did you have for dinner this week?

  1. I hope whatever you have passes quickly!
    I spent the week restocking and adding some new items for DH because he is trying to eat more protein and no processed carbs. So, I spent $162.09, but shouldn’t need much next week so it will level out.
    We ate:
    Saturday: cheeseburgers and brussels sprouts
    Sunday: white bean soup/salad/garlic bread
    Monday: butter chicken kebabs with rice and salad
    Tuesday: meatloaf/baked sweet potato/green beans
    Wednesday: bean chili
    Thursday: stuffed green peppers
    Friday: the plan is chicken sausages with peppers and onions/salad

  2. I saved my menu plan so I could participate 😉
    WIS: $46.50
    WWA:
    Sunday - grilled chicken, white cheddar mac n cheese, watermelon & strawberries
    Monday - I got takeout pizza as a thank you to hubby who replaced our garbage disposal (his favorite)
    Tuesday - pizza party sausage, potato salad, watermelon
    Wednesday - BLT's, french fries, fresh pineapple
    Thursday - chicken parmesan over spaghetti, garlic toast
    Friday - dinner at a friend's house. we are taking drinks and snacks.

  3. Hang in there, you are almost done for the semester!

    WIS was about $55 at the stores and $78 with the farmers, so roughly $133 for two weeks.

    WIA: I opened a freezer package of Boston Butt steaks and got three evening meals and a lunch or two out of the two big steaks. With the steaks I had asparagus, cherries, bok choy, carrots, and cucumbers, not all with each meal, of course.

    I had beef cubed steak (the processors always include cubed steak when they process pork or beef) with a pile of mushrooms, onions and a whole lotta garlic. I had garden carrots on the side.

    I cooked a package of four farm-made sweet Italian sausages and had that with cassava spaghetti, topped with asparagus bites. I had carrot sticks and fruit as a side. I ate this twice and it made a lunch as well.

    For "desserts", I've had a handful of fresh berries from the garden a few times. So good.

  4. Wishing you well.

    Baked Spanish rice and rainbow trout fillets, with steamed Nappa cabbage.
    Leftover Spanish rice and chicken thighs, with green beans.
    Sandwiches (cold cuts), with homemade Quick pickled cucumber and onion.
    Ravioli with mushroom pasta sauce to which I added ground beef. Pea salad to use up my wilting celery.
    Leftovers of the above ravioli meal.

    Happy weekend to all.

  5. Just a few more days, Kristen, and I hope you bounce back from your cold this weekend.

    WIS: A horrifying $183 @ Food Lion. But I got some really good deals to restock the freezer with meats, veggies and berries. Also bought a lot of cereal, as I had coupons and it was on sale.

    WWA: Pot roast, roasted chicken, lots of big salads, fresh grapes and oranges, boiled eggs, rye crackers, cheese, homemade flatbread, scrambled eggs and toast, applesauce, protein shakes. I currently have a glut of eggs due to coupons, so we've had several eggy meals.

  6. Saturday - takeout from a taqueria

    Sunday - shrimp ceviche from Costco (really good!) with chips, black bean and chicken tacos

    Monday - dirty rice with smoked sausage, I’m trying to eat a bit more veggies and less other stuff, so I used half the sausage the recipe required and subbed in cauliflower rice for half the rice. I also added some green beans that needed to be used up. The family did not revolt over these changes and everyone ate it, success!

    Tuesday - it’s finally light enough in the evenings again that we can resume our weekly beach picnic dinners. We walked to the beach (first time with no stroller, both kids walked there and back!) and ate our picnic dinner, of pb&j, fresh fruits and veggies for the kids and a salad with a black bean burger chopped into it for me and then they had a lot of fun playing on the beach. I enjoy this too because it’s a night off cooking.

    Wednesday - minestrone to use up all the leftover veggies before the new produce box got delivered that evening. The soup had kale, green beans, carrots, red potatoes and some frozen peas and corn. I think this soup is delicious as is (it starts by cooking a small amount of bacon and you put in parmesan rind in as it cooks for extra flavor) but my family always just sort of tolerates it. I used Kristen’s technique of adding some heavy cream that needed to be used up anyways and that really elevated it to the point t that everyone was enthusiastic about eating it! I also made some corn muffins to go with it, serving some sort of bread with soup or salad is always a must here.

    Thursday - salad night, served with crescent rolls

    Friday - will be trying out Kristen’s sausage and asparagus orzo for the first time since some asparagus came in my produce box!

  7. Panera's strawberry poppyseed salad is so good! We've been there twice recently and I've gotten it both times. Also, I'm really impressed with your Tuesday night meals. You give me hope that I can wing it like that someday. 🙂

    This week we had:
    Saturday - This was the final night of the show and my mom brought pizza to give me one less thing to have to take care of. My mom is great.

    Sunday - Brats, hot dogs, grilled pineapple (which my kids were surprisingly reluctant to try), and chips

    Monday - Leftover brats and hot dogs, leftover fajitas, leftover grilled pineapple, and the bottom of the bag of chips. Not a normal combo, but things got eaten!

    Tuesday - Chicken and vegetable wild rice chowder with Jimmy John's bread. This has happened one other time, but I went in to ask to buy day-old bread and when they told me they were out I just smiled and said, "OK, thank you" and then they offered to give me a couple of fresh loaves at the day-old price! It was so kind.

    Wednesday - Grilled chicken, cauliflower w/ cheese, strawberries, and blueberries

    Thursday - Chicken salad sandwiches, red pepper slices, asparagus, and orange slices

    Friday - I didn't get home in time to start my planned crock-pot meal, so I'll make bacon cheeseburger pasta. We have a ton of fruit and veggies right now (Meijer has strawberries and blueberries for 99 cents! Whoo hoo! And we picked up a FlashFood produce box while we were there) so it'll be easy to throw some on the side.

    I hope you feel better soon, Kristen!

  8. WIS: $29.50 at Ollie's (of which $19 went for birdseed and bird peanuts), $16 at Wegmans, $63 at Price Chopper (of which $43 went for supplements), and $5.60 at Tops.

    WIA: The week's highlight was a NY Times recipe: garlic-ginger chicken with cilantro and mint. I used boneless/skinless thighs instead of breasts, and omitted one spice (amchur) that I didn't have in the house, but otherwise stuck pretty close to the recipe--and it was *really* good. I'll add this to my rotation, especially when my Self-Perpetuating Cilantro Patch is in full production, which it is now..

    1. @A. Marie, I put that recipe away for sometime. But no mint is going in. I find mint in savory food gross and I find it overpowering in fruit salads. We mostly use ours in lemonade and dried for tea.

    2. @Rose, re: the mint, to each her own. Personally, I enjoyed the heck out of it.

      And this gives me an opportunity to confess how I purloined the mint. The only mint I have in my gardens at the moment is the "chocolate" peppermint I grow for tea, but I know that spearmint is what's generally used in Middle Eastern and Asian cooking. So I ankled over to a curbside garden a few blocks away where the kind folks there have let me "borrow" spearmint in the past, and I "borrowed" a little more. Believe me, they're in no danger of running out of it. In fact, I'll probably knock on their door in a few days and ask to "borrow" some to try to get spearmint going again at my place.

    3. @A. Marie, Oh I know. We have spearmint too, but I grow it in a pot. The thyme is shortly to engulf the entire house like a scene from Sleeping Beauty. Gotta chop it back with extreme prejudice.

    4. @A. Marie and Rose, I put pots of various mints on my back steps into the kitchen. It smells lovely as one walks into/out of the door, and avoids the invasion that mint always does.
      I also saved that recipe from the NYT because it sounded delish!

    5. @Rose, you have of course reminded me of the sequel to Pride and Prejudice in The Book of Sequels by Henry Beard et al.: Pride and Extreme Prejudice. It introduces a new Bennet sister named "Dirty Harriet." Enough said

  9. WIS: Neighborhood-$18; Milk Delivery-$20.50; Brothers Marketplace-$22; Flashfood-$58; S&S-$9; TGTG-$10; Wildgrain-$84 Total: $221.50

    Tues: Honey mustard chicken & salad
    Wed: Left over chicken sausage and butternut squash ravioli
    Thurs: Chili rellenos and chorizo and potato tacos
    Fri: Soft shell crabs! We have never had them before, never mind making them ourselves. I've read that frying seems best so that's what we will probably do. Not sure on sides...cornbread and green beans maybe?

    1. @Jaime,
      Go you, making soft shell crabs at home! I've only ever had them once, at a restaurant renowned for their seafood. And yes, I believe it was fried.

    All in all, a pretty junky diet week but you know what? We were all fed 🙂

  11. Friday: BBQ Chicken Cornbread Casserole

    Saturday: dinner at a benefit – I had salmon, my husband had steak, both came with potatoes and veggies

    Sunday: my original plan was thrown out the window because my son ended up in the championship game of a tournament he was in (they won for their age bracket!) so my husband made hamburgers and tater tots with roasted veggies. My son’s favorite meal is burgers so this was perfect!

    Monday: Chicken Enchilada Rice Bowls (slow cooker)

    Tuesday: Hamburger Stroganoff (slow cooker) with chickpea noodles

    Wednesday: Fish Chowder (slow cooker) and French bread

    Thursday: another late game for my son so we put in a frozen pizza and had that with grapes. We had a pretty terrible day all around so my husband ordered Dairy Queen as a treat to boost morale.

  12. Friday - I made baked chicken with fried rice. I used Trader Joes veggie fried rice (because I was lazy & didn't have leftover rice on hand) & added eggs & edamame, to bulk it out
    Saturday - leftover chicken & rice
    Sunday - it was a busy day, so we all had sandwiches & fruit
    Monday - tacos

  13. I must have eaten something because my pants aren't loose.

    Rest up, Kristen! May your bug be quick and gentle and not interfere with your ability to retain knowledge needed for next week.

    1. @Central Calif. Artist Jana, I remembered!

  14. WIS: 97.43 on the loss Lidls (shredded cheese was 2.50/lb. Did I buy 20 lbs? Yes, yes I did.) and 191.70 @Aldi, for a total of 289.13.

    Tonight: salad and focaccia.

    Have a great weekend, everyone!

    1. @Becca,

      Thanks for the idea of poblanos in the cornbread. We still have a bunch in the freezer from last summer and this would be a great way to use some up.

    2. @Liz B.,

      Yup, they were in the Aldi finds section, so I don't know if they're permanent or not. I got a couple bags in March and then went back and bought more. They had dark chocolate covered freeze dried bananas too, which were also good but not as heavenly as the strawberries.

    3. @Jaime,

      Mine came from the freezer too! I just ran them under water and then squeezed as much moisture out as I could. They turned out really nice in the corn bread.

  15. I spent about $200 between Aldi, Giant, and Walmart. Had a couple extra things to prepare this week.

    Saturday - we brought takeout pizza, chicken and fries to a friend's house as a thank you for them giving us many, many farm items before their move.

    Sunday - had a family over for lunch. We grilled chicken and had roasted potatoes, green beans, and fruit salad for our meal

    Monday -leftovers from Sunday

    Tuesday - stroganoff over egg noodles with the last of the green beans

    Wednesday - I brought beef and broccoli, rice, and applesauce to a friend who just had a baby, and I ate some of what was left of it at home. the kids ate leftover stroganoff

    Thursday - chicken pot pie, applesauce

    Tonight - homemade pizza

  16. Best of luck on the final stretch!

    WIA:
    Monday - tofu stir fry with rice
    Tuesday - potatoes, roasted carrot and peppers, and sausage
    Wednesday - quinoa (swing and a miss with the preschooler), ground chicken, roasted veggies, hummus, avocado
    Thursday - tilapia with rice, black beans, avocado, cheese, other fixins
    Friday - we are eating at a free work event my husbands job is hosting (at a theme park!)

  17. BOOO on getting sick when you're so. close. to done. I hope it passes quickly.

    Saturday: Brisket, mashed potatoes, green salad with vinaigrette, baked rice pudding

    Sunday: I made a big pan of ground bull taco meat and let everyone choose flour or corn tortillas or tortilla chips to eat with it, plus all the toppings. Because it was Cinco de Mayo. We also had margaritas for that reason. 🙂 This was also my youngest son's First Communion day, and he got to choose dessert. He wanted ice cream. We had chocolate, vanilla, and cookies and cream. And THEN, there was a blueberry pie at the bed and breakfast-type place my parents stay at, so we had that, too. A very celebratory meal.

    Monday: Leftover brisket, rice, frozen peas, fruit

    Tuesday: I rarely buy chicken, and never boneless, skinless chicken breasts, but I happened to see some on deep discount when we were in Walmart, so I got some. For dinner this night, I cut one package into chunks and fried those with a bunch of chopped new garlic (the young plants, with both green and white parts), then added parsley, cornstarch, and cream to make a gravy. Very good. We also had leftover rice, sauteed asparagus, and cucumber slices with salt and vinegar.

    Wednesday: Leftover taco meat in either flour or corn tortillas, plus chips and guacamole to use the last three avocados that were ripe.

    Thursday: I didn't make anything for dinner because everyone was on field trips and I had no idea if they would be hungry if they got home. Ha. As if they're ever NOT hungry. So I made scrambled eggs with the last of the pinto beans in the refrigerator, salsa, and shredded cheese. I had made garlic bread earlier in the day, so the kids had that. My husband had leftover rice, and there were leftover peas, too.

    Tonight: I just spent three hours hoeing, raking, and planting in the garden, so my energy levels are very low. I have lamb chops thawed, which will probably just be fried with more new garlic and parsley. Maybe I'll make rice. Maybe we'll have bread and butter. I pulled a handful of radishes out of the garden while I was working, so the kids can have those, and I have more asparagus too.

  18. Hoping you feel better soon, Kristen!

    WWA, home again edition:

    Saturday/Sunday: DS still in the hospital, pizza for those at home.

    Monday: We are told DS might get discharged! DH went to the grocery store and got chicken wings accidentally instead of drumsticks so there was a learning curve for me. Also made rice and roasted veggies. DS was home around dinner but understandably exhausted. I think he had rice and tofu. Or a burger. We're working on getting his hemoglobin up.

    Tuesday: burgers, chips, leftover chicken or pizza fixings. This was the night Clark escaped for his Grand Adventure. To try luring him back, DH drained a can of mackerel (Commodore Fluffington doesn't eat the fish, he just likes the fish juice) and left it on the porch, using the fish to make some burgers for the next day.

    Wednesday: Clark returned and demanded his morning Churu treat. I took DS to wound clinic, DH made salmon burgers. Busy, thankful day.

    Thursday: DS #3 made taco bar.

    Tonight: pizza night, kicking off the weekend early!

    1. @Karen A., our recently passed 18-year-old boy kitty's nickname was Captain Awesome. It suited him perfectly, as he was a Russian blue with a medium length coat. Just an alley cat, but he won the genetic lottery on looks and outgoing personality.

    2. @Ruby, Aw, when I was very young my parents had a Russian Blue named Jerry. They are amazing cats!

  19. Saturday: homemade pizza with grandparents
    Sunday: leftovers after high school theatre celebration
    Monday: burritos
    Tuesday: homemade soup from Grandma
    Wednesday: tacos
    Thursday: spicy shrimp plus crab ravioli
    Friday: snacks with friends then leftovers...

  20. Hope both feel much better soon.
    Lately our WWAs have been simple. We've been doing big cooks on the weekends and enjoying the leftovers throughout the week. This past Sunday we made cranberry bean and kielbasa soup. We've been eating it with either a salad or bread, or a little of both. The exception was Tuesday as my stomach was cranky in the afternoon for some reason and I decided to play it safe with some plain rice and a piece of toast. Tonight we will serve the soup over the leftover rice. Tomorrow I might make some cornbread and serve a bit of fancy cheese from the farmer's market.
    Since we will be with family this weekend there won't be a big cook for next week so we will make relatively quick items from the freezer like burgers and salad, pan fried fish with tater tots, maybe an Annie's mac & cheese kit, or pasta with pesto sauce and grilled sausage.

    1. @AnnieH,

      Do you have a recipe for the cranberry bean and kielbasa soup. We are at the end of soup season but with this wacky weather of hot one day, cold the next, you never know.

  21. $300 total stock up for the month ( I hope) from Winco and Sam's.
    Can't remember specific days but here goes:

    1. Hot Dogs, grapes, cherry tomatoes. My son can not get enough of them. I buy Hebrew National to try and make it a little healthier.
    2. Sam's bakery pallet of sweet breads for breakfasts.
    3. Rotisserie chicken (4.99) which then became chicken pesto pasta.
    4. Shredded broccoli, cranberry, walnuts with a vinaigrette dressing for several lunches and dinners.
    5 Boys always go to Thursday night pizza so tonite is leftover pasta and pizza.

    If I am not cooking for anyone it is usually fruit with egg on toast.

    I spent another $135 that goes under charity for my students store where students use PRIDE points for treats on a Friday. Also in the amount is a key lime pie and crumb cake which is my contribution to mother's day brunch.

    This Saturday I am going to make a big pot of chili for the week. I already have the cheese and sour cream toppers. I will make a batch of molasses cookies. I have made a gallon of greek yogurt. Hopefully that will keep things running for next week.

  22. Hello, this week we ate:

    ALOT of chicken.

    Lunches were chicken salads on greens and then the following dinners...Bok Bok.

    Sunday - Baked chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, spinach salad.
    Monday - Ramen bowls made with leftover chicken and broth I made.
    Tuesday - Chicken melts, roast potatoes, strawberries and bananas.
    Wendsday - Kinda over the chicken at this point so I vacuum sealed what was left and chucked it in the freezer. Was happy to eat pan fried catfish with slaw, more strawberries to go with.
    Thursday - Was on my own and unsupervised and was in no mood to scrounge for myself so I got a butterscotch milk shake for my dinner at our little burger joint in town. Not sorry.
    Friday - Was gifted some deer burger and husband likes goulash (he likes American style I prefer traditional - Yugoslavian grandmother responsible for my preference but it's not for everyone - so I kinda meld the two to make both of us happy) so I'm thinking a big pan of that for tonight and tomorrow's dinner, random veggies to go with.

    Happy weekend everyone

  23. Heavy into gardening right now, so I picked up a rotisserie chicken @ Costco $5. Grocery Outlet $17.
    Sun: Make your own pizza for weekly family dinner + ice cream sundae bar
    M: Rotisserie chicken, mashed potatoes, asparagus
    T: Green salad w/chicken & grapes
    W: White bean Chicken chili, oranges for dessert
    Th: Asian cabbage salad w/pork sausage
    F: Master gardener annual sale @ county fairgrounds, salad bar and cookies to share
    S: More M gardener sale antics, taco bar potluck
    Grocery outlet had whole tomatoes in sauce 28 oz 4/.97. I stocked up!
    Kristen, feel better soon! Bummer that you're under the weather before the end of school.

  24. 124 from Kroger pick up.
    I don’t know if I am coming or going this week.

    I made a big batch of ground turkey and bean taco mix and we ate it one day with tortillas and one day on nachos and one day over rice. Lots of chips n salsa on the side or whatever!

    Cereal for dinner with sliced apples.

    Adult lunchables. It was too haphazard to be considered charcuterie.

    19 more days of school. Got all my flowers and herbs planted. Yay

  25. I'm sorry you and Zoe haven't been feeling good. Get well soon!

    I didn't buy any food this week. All my meals have been from the pantry and freezer. I'm trying to challenge myself to spend less on groceries.

    On Saturday I made a chicken enchilada casserole. Ate leftovers Sunday and Monday. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday I had mashed potato bowls with real bacon bits and chopped broccoli florets.
    Tonight I had a very late dinner because I forgot to start soaking the beans until almost noon. But eventually I was able to have refried beans on tortillas for dinner along with a fruit cup. I also made a wacky cake (depression era recipe with no dairy or eggs) and will have some for dessert.

  26. Saturday - Mexican as we celebrated Mother's Day and Cinco de Mayo. Out of town kiddo went home on Sunday. Tacos campechanos yum. Managed to eat two of the three plus frijoles. Leftovers were consumed for lunch during the week.
    Sunday - salmon and steak - on sale to boot. $14 for the two. I suspect baked potato as the side.
    Monday - not sure but I think eggs, fried potatoes, toast, and sausage. I could be wrong.
    Tuesday - two 1/3 burgers w/side of fries deal
    Wednesday - garlic marinated chicken, asparagus, and leftover mashed potatoes
    Thursday - burgers and enhanced baked beans. Easy meal for me to eat as I worked
    Friday - tilapia and potatoes

    1. @Selena, Tuesday was HM meatloaf (topped with bacon YUM) and mashed potatoes. I should have remember the Wednesday leftover mashed potatoes weren't from the freezer.

  27. Well, I am late to the party here! I am amazed you remembered so many of your meals - you have been one busy woman. Summer is coming though!! This week at my house:
    Monday - I was off, so I pulled some leftover pork out of the freezer, made mashed potatoes with a few wrinkly potatoes, and served broccoli as a side.
    Tuesday - Skillet Chicken Thighs with cabbage and carrots - this was good, but I overcooked the cabbage so it melted into the skillet. Still good!
    Wednesday - Mom's Corn Chowder, croissants
    Thursday - Crockpot BBQ Pork, chopped salad, red potatoes - just enough for three people and so good!
    Friday - Grilled Chicken, (freezer) Green Chile Poblano sauce over some dibs and dabs of pasta, green beans
    Saturday and Sunday - I packed my weekend lunches and they are nothing fancy. I was going to get a mini bundt cake, then decided against it.
    Happy Mother's Day!
