WIS, WWA | Hello, Chiquita
Chiquita was watching me through the curtains while I blogged. 😉
What I Spent
I spent:
- $8 at Giant
- $19 at Aldi
That makes $27 for me, which is pretty dang low.
What We Ate
Saturday
I worked, and I ate my chili/rice lunch.
Sunday
I came down with a cold, so Zoe picked up some Panera for us after her work shift, using one of my credit card gift cards.
I realize that looks mainly like a bagel, but it's their asiago steak bagel sandwich, which is super good!
Monday
I cooked the rest of my clearance thin-sliced beef and ate that with some sweet potatoes (sriracha mayo on top of the potatoes and beef) and some red peppers with Greek yogurt dipping sauce.
Tuesday
I thawed some chicken and used this quick chipotle marinade on them. I also made a cilantro-lime sauce, and used it as salad dressing.
Zoe had an evening class, so after she left, I took my serving to the park. 🙂
I packaged up two lunch servings as well, since I had Wednesday and Thursday work shifts this week.
Wednesday
I ate my chicken salad at lunch.
And I had some yogurt and fruit after work.
Thursday
More chicken salad for lunch at work.
And then I had some shredded wheat after work.
Friday
I'm off today (the only Friday in September I'm not working!), and for a day of fun, I'm getting my tuberculosis test spot-checked (you have to have it looked at 48-72 hours after the injection), and I'm also doing my drug test.
I know how to spend a Friday, that's for sure. I have not decided on dinner, but maybe I deserve a cookie for all the background check testing I did this week. 😉
WIS: $65 at Food Lion and $10 at Dollar Tree.
WWA: DH ate sandwiches with fresh garden produce and plums. I had leftover chicken spaghetti with garden veggies a couple of days, a mini frozen cheese pizza with canned peaches, and we had a meal out that I brought leftovers home from to eat a second day. Last night DS was home, so I made French toast, scrambled eggs, sausage and applesauce for our supper. Did not make a dessert this week.
Happy Friday, everyone! We spent $87 at Trader Joe's over two trips.
-- Chipotle burrito bowl (THREE nights in a row - from the same original bowl!)
-- Neighborhood bonfire/potluck
-- Omelet (spinach, mushroom and goat cheese) left over from a restaurant meal
-- Salad (greens, corn, black beans, tomatoes, cukes) with avocado ranch dressing left over from a restaurant meal
-- Noodles and homemade marinara sauce with kalamata olive rosemary bread from the Farmers' Market
Saturday - We had pizza and breadsticks while watching a movie. This was the second week that I made a gluten-free pizza for myself (I made myself a GF breadsticks, too!) I've suspected for a few years and confirmed recently, that my body is much happier without gluten. Heavy sigh. I'm happy to feel so much better (and amazed at my lack of eczema right now), but sad to have to say no to so many things I love to eat. On the bright side, it's not too much per pizza for a bag of King Arthur GF pizza flour and the dough tastes pretty good.
Sunday - I made FG enchiladas - a triple batch! Most of them went to our life group meeting (I made a small pan with corn tortillas. I prefer flour, but it was fine.) Then one pan went in our freezer.
Monday - Spaghetti (spaghetti squash for me) with meat sauce
Tuesday - Burgers... and sides that I can't remember
Wednesday - Everyone was kind of on their own. One kid went to a friend's house. One kid had an away volleyball game and she and my husband had Culver's after. My son redeemed his Pizza Hut Book-It pizza. I had leftover spaghetti squash.
Thursday - Salmon, pears, corn, shells and cheese
Friday - We have an early (4:00) home football game, so I'm going to make chili in a crock-pot so it's ready to eat as soon as everyone gets home.
