WIS, WWA | from a rainy part of the world

I would love days of rain. Living in the desert that doesn't happen too often.

I spent $65 at trader joes and then went a little nuts and spent another $50 on interesting snacks from World Market, although I did buy some curry mixes there too.

Sunday/Monday- I pulled a Kevin's turkey breast and gravy entree out of the freezer which had been there since Thanksgiving. I generally really like Kevin's meals and the turkey gravy in this one was delicious. I had it with mashed potatoes, cauliflower and a spoonful of ligonberry jam.

Tuesday - I used up the last of the turkey on a green salad.

Wednesday- snacky plate with cheese, crackers, salami, apple. Later I had some Japanese peanuts.

Thursday - dinner out with friends. I had a Cobb salad.

Friday - just could not bring myself to turn on the stove. It was 96 degrees out. Had delivered a gourmet veggie pizza with chicken on it for extra protein.

Sat - Freddy’s Sun - dine out Mexican Mon - home grilled burgers/fried potato (the other huge baked potato which was part of Friday's meal) Tue - enhanced leftover fajita fried rice from Sunday dine out Wed - fried leftover rigatoni (from a meal last week) Thu - grilled marinated chicken, mashed potatoes (I had gravy) and veggies (not for me) Fri - bday family dine out at Mexican restaurant

Let's see what I can remember: - Friends took us out, and then we came back to our place for chocolate bundt cake, strawberries and ice cream. - tonight is a pasta bake - roast and potatoes - bean and rice bowls

I spent $73 at Kroger and $52 at Sam's

Sunday – grilled strip steaks, baked sweet potatoes, green beans, Bisquick biscuits.

Monday – chicken pattie and fish sandwiches (I had a few of each), Cole slaw and tater tots.

Tuesday – oven baked bbq chicken, Mediterranean kale/ pasta salad from Sam's, corn on the cob.

Wednesday – oven roasted pork loin, cooked turnips, more Mediterranean kale/pasta salad from Sam's, garlic bread.

Thursday – we out to eat at a local restaurant. We usually treat ourselves ( and me since I don't have to cook!) one dinner every other week. It's not usually anything fancy.

Friday – leftover pork loin turned into pork fried rice, egg rolls, salad.

Saturday - we will have hot dogs, homemade dill cucumber/onion salad, chips.

WWS: $0 Sun Work - family dinner was elk steaks low and slow on the smoker, layered salad, homemade sourdough and roasted asparagus. Mon work - I took a TV pita stuffed w/elk steak sliced salad, roasted garbanzo seasoned with my bbq rub as snack and an apple. T - freezer salmon bbq, fresh steamed baby bok choy, roasted sweet potato slices. W - pork roast, mashed potatoes, gravy, corn and baby greens salad Th- spicy pork noodles, prune puree spice bars (I canned low sugar Italian prunes for my dad and I have 24 pints to use up.) F: Asian cabbage salad w/shredded pork and spicy peanut salad dressing S: family birthday dinner I'm taking meatballs in enchilada sauce, Mexican street corn casserole and a cookie plate.
