WIS, WWA | I'm gonna sand today
Happy Friday, everyone!
The weather promises to be a lovely 71 degrees today AND I don't have any classes or appointments or meetings.
Soooo...I'm gonna go spend some quality time with a sander in my dad's garage. It's furniture rehab time!
On to the topic at hand, though. Here's the food scoop from this past week:
What I Spent
I spent $50 on groceries at Target, and I also spent $11 on a restaurant salad (see Thursday night).
What We Ate
My mom's been out in Illinois visiting her mom this week, so just my dad has been here with us. 🙂
Saturday
I grilled some burgers, and I am not remembering what we had with them. How about we go with: a green salad.
Odds are always good that there's a green salad on the table around here!
Sunday
One of my brothers came over for Easter dinner; my mom served ham, twice-baked potatoes, a jello salad, and some broccoli.
Monday
My dad grilled some marinated beef, and we ate that with leftover twice-baked potatoes and a green salad.
Tuesday
We all ate separately since this is Zoe's class night; I personally used a birthday certificate to get a fajita quesadilla while she was at class.
Wednesday
We had a rotisserie chicken, ciabatta rolls, a green salad, and a fruit salad.
Thursday
Another class night (only six more to go!).
I made a frugal oops...I went to a restaurant that had sent me a $15 birthday discount, but after I was seated, I discovered the redemption period doesn't start until tomorrow. Whoops.
So, I just ordered an $11 salad, and I figure I will go back next week during Zoe's Tuesday class and ACTUALLY use my discount.
Friday
I think I am probably making baked ziti for dinner tonight.
Will we have a salad?
PROBABLY.
We had roast lamb for dinner on Sunday. Monday was pizza, Tuesday was corned beef and vegetables, Wednesday was pizza left overs. Thursday was corned beef again. We have had a choice of salad, ordinary vegetables and fruit.
Enjoy your day! I can’t wait to see the “after” photos.
Saturday - leftover meatloaf. I have Easter breakfast at my house after sunrise service so I was busy setting the table and baking.
Sunday - Easter dinner at my BIL.
Monday - Chicken and veggie stir-fry.
Tuesday - I did a food tasting for my son’s upcoming wedding in the late afternoon. I wasn’t hungry at dinner. DH had a leftover ham sandwich.
Wednesday - hamburgers, French fries, salad
Thursday - Taco salad with chicken
Friday - 15 bean soup to use the ham bone
Wishing everyone peace and good health
We all split the leftovers from Easter so the week was Barley casserole, mashed taters, ham, green bean salad, cucumber salads. We made ham & swiss cheese tortilla sandwiches. I made homemade bread using the King Arthur recipe and the bread was super delish so we made hot PB & J. Due to it being in the 50's today we will grill burgers. Tomorrow I am making Tater Tot nachos and Sunday a flatbread chicken bbq pizza.
We've been batch cooking and eating some for leftovers and some go in the freezer for nights we don't want to cook. My husband made a delicious cabbage/bean soup last night and it made a lot. We'll have a bowl for lunch and the rest will go into portions in the freezer.
Are you enjoying having soup weather in your new more northerly home?
Salad for the win! That skillet of pasta looks delightful. This week I ate:
Monday - Pan Fried Tilapia, okra, cant remember what else
Tuesday - Crockpot BBQ boneless pork chop, with potatoes and green beans
Wednesday - Wine Wednesday with The Girl (we had BBQ Shrimp, rice, honey carrots)
Thursday - Crockpot Mole Chicken, rice, and the rest of a giant box of salad that needed eating
Tonight - Salmon with sweet chili marmalade sauce, baked potato, cherry-almond spinach salad
Saturday - A meal from my freezer: either gorgonzola gnocci or mandarin orange chicken. Its supposed to rain here on Sunday and the pollen is still every where so I am putting off grilling until it gets done being a mess on my patio!
Sunday - I'm going to cook Parmesan Garlic Chicken Thighs, mashed potatoes, and asparagus for my daughter and myself.

Happy Friday!
WIS: Aldi: 288.31 Hungry Harvest: 30.15 total: 318.46
WWA:
Sat: salad and beef and bean enchiladas (husband used a lb of beef and this made a ton-filled 30 corn tortillas and used two casserole dishes, so we got three dinners out of this)
Sun: salad, homemade doro wat (Ethiopian stewed chicken in a red sauce made of grated ginger, onions and spices topped with hard-boiled eggs-spicy and delicious!) and homemade "quick" injera (real injera is an Ethiopian flatbread made from a special sourdough made with teff flour that ferments for about two weeks-husband made this version using teff flour, our regular starter and seltzer-then fried similar to crepes-it's not as good as the real thing, but still tasty)
Mon: (birthday meal for the teen) watermelon and focaccia, chocolate cake with strawberry filling and buttercream icing
Tue: salad and leftover beef and bean enchiladas with leftover doro wat on top like a salsa (a very tasty fusion food it turns out. I called it Belter food because I'm still reading books from the Expanse series) and homemade sourdough pretzels
Wed: (grocery day) watermelon/grapes and leftover enchiladas/doro wat
Thu: salad and crunchy fish tacos (made with salmon and salsa) with lots of veggie toppings: spinach, orange peppers, tomatoes, green onions from garden and crumbled queso
Tonight: salad and focaccia
Happy weekend everyone!
@Becca, I was just reading over a recipe for beef and black bean enchiladas. Sounded good.
Beautiful azalea!
What we ate
Saturday: Pasta with tomatoes, basil, chickpeas
Sunday: Easter dinner of roasted root veggies and chickpeas with a tahini sauce on rice. Meatballs for the kids.
Monday: Take out tacos
Tuesday: Fish and chips (fries) with green salad
Wednesday: Potato leek soup with bread
Thursday: Pasta bake with green salad
Friday: Shredded potato/veggie cakes, sausage and green salad
Happy Friday 🙂
We had guests twice over the Easter weekend and I stuck to a predictable theme:
Friday: Meatballs + rice and cornbread (and then leftovers of that on Sunday)
Saturday: I forget. Breakfast for supper, as I recall
Monday: Chicken Mango Curry + rice and cornbread (and leftovers on Tuesday).
Wednesday: Fruit, veggies, and egg/ham breakfast sandwiches
Thursday: the power randomly went out, so instead of the Chicken Noodle Soup I had pulled from the freezer which I was no longer able to warm up, we ended up having a smorgasbord. The kids had PB&J and some smoke oysters; I made some egg salad and tucked that into individual nori pieces with smoked oysters. It worked, and the power came back on at 9:15 pm, so the fridge/freezer items were okay.
Tonight: Oatmeal waffles. A Friday night tradition 🙂
Saturday: I finally found the energy to pull out the chunk of deer meat given to us by our elderly friend. It was a gnarly hunk of ribs, with stray hairs and grass on it. But I made it edible! It became a chile for my husband with the addition of tripe (he buys this--I am not a fan), onion, lots of green garlic, lots of green chile, and some tomato. What he likes to call "strong food." The weaker members of the family had bunless hamburgers, leftover meatloaf, leftover spaghetti with pesto, and one giant watermelon radish in slices.
Sunday: Ram for Easter! I had made a large batch of green garlic puree the day before from a whole row of green garlic in the pasture. Most was frozen in ice cube trays, but I used some to marinate a boneless leg roast from the ram we butchered a few months ago. That was sliced and served with homemade pita bread; a yogurt sauce made from yogurt, lemon juice, green garlic, salt, and pepper; and tomatoes and cucumbers. For dessert, I made a carrot cake that included ground pecans. My eldest son decided to crack a bunch of the pecans in the shell we've had sitting around since January and then grind them into a flour with my molcajete (a Mexican mortar and pestle traditionally made of basalt). And by this one action, you can definitely tell he is my son. 🙂
Monday: I still have three roosters in the freezer, so I took one out and simmered it to make stock and pull the meat off. I made curried split peas with the sludgy curry powder saved from dying eggs (just yellow split peas, onion, the curry powder, rooster stock, salt, and sour cream at the end), and used that as the sauce for the chicken pieces, which went over rice. I always forget how much my kids love curried split peas. I should definitely make them more frequently.
Tuesday: Polish sausage that I thought was really good, but the rest of the family was not too excited about. They mostly ate leftover lamb, split peas, and rice. And I had enough sausage for my work lunch the next day. Yay.
Wednesday: I fed children scrambled eggs in corn tortillas with cheese and salsa, split peas, lamb, bread and butter, and fruit shakes (smoothies) before I left to go to a Senior banquet in the village (we have two graduating seniors this year! :-). I had brisket, mashed potatoes, green beans, and a brownie with ice cream at the restaurant hosting the banquet. My husband had some of his tripe and venison chile.
Thursday: I had half a gallon of rooster stock left, so even though it was 80 degrees, I made potato soup. We also had bunless cheeseburgers, sauteed zucchini with green garlic, and raw cabbage for the children who really do not appreciate zucchini. Which is all of them.
Tonight: I have one pound of uncooked ground beef left from yesterday. I think I'll combine it with some of my pressure-canned pinto beans and make chile. Child-friendly chile, not "strong food" Dad chile. 🙂 Dad can eat his own. And cornbread made from Edna Lewis' recipe, which is all corn flour and a lot of yogurt. I have a lot of yogurt to use up, because I have three quarts already and another half gallon of milk that is past its use by date and will probably be yogurt-milk shortly. As soon as my kids complain about the taste, anyway . . .
@kristin @ going country, You're a better woman than I for dealing with that venison.
My thoughts exactly.
@kristin @ going country, I have been refusing gifts of venison from my brother for years because the one time I did accept, it showed up looking like what you got from your neighbor, except that he'd cooked it that way. I couldn't decide if he needed glasses or just didn't care about food hygiene.
@Rose, I have a lot of experience with this sort of thing. 🙂
@Ruby, Probably the latter. My husband would be like your brother if I left it to him. I'm much fussier, which is why I prefer to do the butchering and so forth myself.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY KRISTEN!
Also, that pink azalea is very pretty.
Sunday: nothing, full from brunch
Monday: takeout from the local clam bar
Tuesday: Instant Pot butter chicken
Wednesday: leftover butter chicken
Thursday: steak and roasted fingerlings
Tonight: wine-braised chicken with leeks
I love that photo of the azalea in bloom against the window. That would make a lovely greeting card.
WIS: This was our expensive shopping week of the month. I spent $180.04 at Food Lion and Vitacost on food. My husband could not find the reduced sugar cranberry juice he likes at Food Lion and spent another $8 at another grocery store buying two bottles of that. However, we are stocked up on frozen veggies and have finished stocking up on jams and jellies for the year.
WWA: Lunch is our big meal of the day: I made pulled pork, using $9.33 of manager's special marked down Boston butt pork roast, for my husband's lunch sandwiches. About a third of the meat I pulled out to add to my brown bag lunches, which this week were composed of pulled pork, sweet corn, tangy British-style baked beans (I don't like sugary baked beans) and creamed spinach.
Isn't that so pretty? It's one of my dad's workshop/garage windows.
Saturday: Tacos
Sunday: Our neighbors had us over to Easter dinner. We were in charge of bringing sweet tea.
Monday: Chicken Pot Pie
Tuesday: Lentils, rice, and kale. Much tastier than it probably sounds!
Wednesday: Mediterranean stuffed potatoes, salad, and pita bread.
Thursday: We went to a brewery with friends for a comedy night and had surprisingly good pizza.
We’ll be having leftovers today. We have leftovers from Tuesday, Wednesday, and yesterday.
How did you find all of the places to sign up to get birthday discounts with? I get one through Starbucks rewards, but that's all.
@Danielle Zecher,
Just curious what goes in a Mediterranean stuffed potato?
@Jaime, it's ground beef and onion cooked in a spice mix that a local restaurant sells, then the potatoes are cooked in a tomato and garlic sauce.
@Jaime, I just checked the spice mix and it doesn't list the ingredients. The restaurant is so good that I don't even question it. My best guess for achieving a similar flavor would be a good Greek seasoning mix with some sumac added.
@Danielle Zecher,
It sounds delicious. I might have to give it a try!
@Jaime, I was curious, too, so sis a search and found two very different kinds of recipes, both quite different from Danielle’s! So now have 3 new ideas! Thanks for this, group!
Saturday - takeout dim sum
Sunday - Easter dinner at my MIL, which was ham, potatoes, bread, green salad and fruit.
Monday - chimichurri chicken and rice
Tuesday - baked chicken Parmesan with butter noodles and steamed carrots and green beans
Wednesday - homemade mushroom and plant-based Italian sausage pizza
Thursday - the last of our homemade kielbasa from the freezer, pearl cous cous, frozen mixed veggies, leftover corn muffins from freezer
Friday - chicken noodle soup, more corn muffins
I spent $25 at Costco and $10 at the normal grocery store this week.
Sunday - Easter ham dinner with family. I brought candied carrots and fresh fruit to go with dinner.

TGIF
Saturday - We were traveling home from our anniversary trip at dinnertime and stopped at a fun (for us) burger place that's owned by some people from church.
Sunday - We combined an Easter celebration with celebrating my mom's birthday, so I cooked. We grilled burgers and brats and asparagus, then also had pineapple and chips and dip. I made a German chocolate cake for dessert (sadly, from a box this year - I'm grateful for the box option but it's nowhere near as good as being made from scratch).
Monday - Sheet pan dinner of leftover brats, asparagus, green beans, broccoli, and brussel sprouts with leftover pineapple and chips on the side
Tuesday - Star macaroni and cheese, green beans, and strawberries
Wednesday - Someone gave me a pack of dinner rolls so I sliced them and used them to make egg salad and tuna salad sandwiches that we had with asparagus and chips
Thursday - To use up some buns on the verge of extinction, we had hot dogs and brats with sweet potatoes and strawberries
Friday - I pulled some lentil/veggie soup out of the freezer and we will have that with some bread that my mom gave us (the theme of my week has been using up bread products before they go bad) and I'll make a green salad to go with it all
Also, thanks for sharing the spicy pork tinga recipe earlier this week! I got some pork yesterday in hopes of trying it soon. I've always been curious about what it was like and once I saw the recipe I thought it was something my family might enjoy. 🙂
Aa it was said by no famous sage ever, "It is more blessed to sand than to pound sand." Enjoy your furniture rehab, and we'll all look forward to seeing the results in time.
I spent $35 at Wegmans yesterday and $15 at Price Chopper today. As usual, I can't recall some of the details of this week's meals--but the best ROI in terms of sheer enjoyment was a Wegmans "cook in bag" whole chicken with garlic, herb, and parmesan seasoning, marked down to $10.54 with RFQS. Three completely yummy meals, a soup stock, and an upcoming soup! (My experiment with the pork tinga has been put on hold.)
I spent $132 @Kroger this week.
Saturday...we ate tuna salad sandwiches since I was prepping for Easter.
Sunday...Easter Feast of Ham, Grits & Greens casserole, Spoonbread, potato salad, deviled eggs, tomato cucumber salad, three bean salad, pineapple casserole, yeast rolls, lemon bars and cherry pie bars.
Monday - Wednesday...Leftovers in some capacity
Thursday - takeout pizza as we tackled some projects in the yard
Friday - tacos
I put two ham bones into the freezer and lots of leftover ham to use in beans, quiches and other dishes as the months roll along. Hooray for batch cooking!
Have a glorious weekend all!
Saturday - takeout pizza after church
Sunday - my newly minted 11 year old requested crab for his bday dinner (with homemade bread, salad, and corn, and scallops for my shellfish-allergic dad), which was expensive BUT less expensive than taking all of us and my parents out to dinner, and delicious
Monday - baked hummus chicken with naan
Tuesday - tuna noodle casserole
Wednesday - grilled chicken, mashed potatoes, grilled broccoli and carrots
Thursday - kids had grilled cheese and veggie straws, I had a salad with leftover grilled chicken, husband had a work dinner
Friday - tonight, I’m thinking spaghetti for the kids and takeout date night for us
Saturday- salmon patties with green salad
Sunday- we hosted Easter breakfast- 2 kinds of quiche, funeral potatoes, fruit tray and pastries so we ate leftovers for dinner
Monday- rotisserie chicken, Caesar salad, baked sweet potatoes, fruit
Tuesday- chicken quesadillas with refried beans, fruit
Wednesday- baked ham, homemade macaroni & cheese, green salad, deviled eggs, fruit
Thursday- ham sandwiches, leftover mac & cheese, green salad, fruit
Friday- maybe pizza??
I can’t wait to see the “after” pictures of your furniture restoration! We have an oversized coffee table that was originally a dining room table. My husband’s uncle bought it for $10 years ago and cut the legs down to coffee table height and restored it. He found he didn’t really have room for it so he gave it to my husband. We have eaten around it many times (sitting on the floor of course) and played countless board and card games on it. We might get new couches and chairs but I think we will always have this table,
Hope everyone has a great weekend!
Let's see as I never remember it all
Sat-drawing a blank...was supposed to go out for a friends b-day but it was cancelled
Sun-Easter at my parents-ham, potato salad, carrots, pineapple, and homemade, from scratch almost entirely, mac and cheese! Bourbon pecan pie for dessert
Mon-A sort of fish chowder with a white fish like haddock that I can't remember the name of, chorizo, lobster stock, potatoes...ciabatta bread on the side
Tues-some vegan dish that we un-veganized by using cream & butter. It was an Earth Day cooking demo but the directions weren't very clear and the live instruction was kind of a mess but good thing we know a good deal of how to cook and made an edible dish. One of the best vegetarian dishes we've had in a while. It had leeks, potatoes, onions, bell peppers, hearts of palm, tofu, cream, nutritional yeast, green olives, and cilantro
Wed-we made a batch of navy beans in our bean pot with ham stock (made earlier in the week) and ham pieces, served over rice w/ kale on the side
Thrus-shrimp and lobster stock risotto with asparagus on the side
Tonight-steak tips we got at the farmers market last week...not sure on sides, something w/ potatoes most likely
We had a roast in the freezer so I cooked it up in the crock pot. Husband ate it on Sat and Sunday. I then turned the leftovers into hash and he ate that for Monday/Tuesday and Wednesday. I don't like pot roast at all, so I ate one of my favorite comfort foods: hot spaghetti with large curd cottage cheese mixed in. I ate that for all five nights, along with a salad each night. One year I had to work in Anchorage and go home to Fairbanks only on the weekends. I ate this comfort food for lunch and dinner almost every night for the entire year. It takes no thought and I love the flavor and contrasting hot/cold taste.
Yesterday, Thursday, we had breakfast for dinner. Tonight it is filet 'o fish for me and grilled brats for him.
@Lindsey, will have to give your spaghetti dish a try! Do you use any seasonings to jazz it up ?
Friday: I made nuggets, pasta, and broccoli for the kids. My husband and I had take out from an amazing Thai place.
Saturday: We went to a monster truck rally and all had hotdogs at the event.
Sunday: We had Easter lunch at my grandma's house. I took mac and cheese and broccoli casserole. (Guess which vegetable is the easiest to get my kids to eat?) After I ate too much I THEN finished my three year old's plate. I wasn't hungry again until bedtime.
Monday: I think we gave the kids leftover roasted chicken with broccoli and rice. My husband and I had a couple of Aldi meatless burgers topped with a fried egg with fries on the side.
Tuesday: I left chicken BBQing in the crockpot for the family when I headed out for my weekly very long commute. I had a turkey and cheese wrap and off-brand Doritos in the car as usual.
Wednesday: My husband made angel hair pasta with shrimp and parmesan cheese for the kids. I had a frozen meal from my stash in the freezer at my office.
Thursday: The family had leftovers it sounds like. I again had the usual turkey and cheese wrap with fake Doritos on the commute back home.
WIS £117.78 - Ocado delivery
WWA:
Easter Sunday - roast beef & Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes, carrots, beans & red cabbage followed by my Buche de Noel reconfigured as Buche de Easter with cream, very yummy
Monday- beef stir fry, peppers & noodles using leftover beef
Tuesday- YS had risotto which was frozen leftovers; DH & ES had pasta with bacon & some kind of sauce. I had a Costa tuna melt at the hospital during the 5 hour wait to get my 82 year old dad seen. He had a brain aneurysm treated in 2019 which we discovered because it was pressing on his optic nerve causing his eye to droop. We noticed his eye drooping on Easter Sunday and after a lot of pressure from me (some might say bullying) he acquiesced and agreed to go to hospital. He had emergency surgery to replace the coil he had fitted previously and thankfully he’s doing well.
Wednesday: meatballs & homemade tomato sauce on brioche buns with a big green salad
Thursday: a bits & bobs night from the freezer, a random numbers of chicken nuggets; mozzarella sticks; mac n cheese balls; potato wedges; potato rosti were cooked and piled in the centre of the table. We all then fought over what we wanted. We also had a large green salad.
Friday: pizza nite
Saturday: Indian for YS who eats at a weird time as he’s at work til late; we are fetching my mom to ours to have fish & chips as a treat.
Sunday- lamb dinner at my in-laws
I start my new job* on Monday so I’m going to carefully meal plan & batch cook on Sunday morning so I’ll be less stressed when I get home.
* I’m going to be working 2 days a week in the library of our local VI form college, I’m excited but a bit nervous!! I’ll be carrying on working at the farm 4 days a week; selling on eBay as well as working at a teaching assistant for my friends tutoring company on Tuesday evenings for 4 hours.
Joanne 4 jobs is my new name I think. :):)
@Joanne in the U.K., best of luck to you in your new role at the library! I work several different part-time-ish jobs as well and really enjoy the variety from day to day. 🙂 Hope it goes great for you!
@PD, thank you! I do enjoy having all the different jobs, it keeps life interesting 🙂 🙂
Sunday: Easter potluck with friends (I made fruit salad because I haven't had time to even think about cooking)
Monday: husband made burgers
Tuesday: husband made burgers w/spicy chipotle sauce
Wednesday: we were supposed to make burgers but we thought there was a gas leak. By the time the gas company inspected our house, it was too late to cook so we bought tacos.
Thursday: husband made burgers
Friday: husband will make burgers
Saturday: tacos with friends
Pepperoni and cheese quesadillas and raw veggies, fruit.
Pasta with vegetable mushroom marinara sauce. The mushrooms were oysters we found near our friend’s yard and they were delicious.
Easter dinner: ham, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, carrots, kale/cabbage slaw, jello, the glazed dinner rolls from this blog, and deviled eggs.
Leftovers from Easter since it was Jiu Jitsu night
Scalloped potatoes and ham with boiled beets on the side
Chefs salad with leftover ham, hard boiled eggs, and vinagrette
Ham and pineapple pizza, steamed broccoli
WIS for the month 432.73 + $20 take out sandwiches to take to see the Mayflower come through the canal; $18 take out pizza a couple of weeks ago when I couldn't come up with a meal; and ? this past Monday at The 99--we took my daughter and her children. Children ate free because the Red Sox won on Sunday.

Fri: Leftover something
Sat: Flatbread vegetable pizza
Sun: Ate with son-in-law's family
Mon: We had a mid afternoon lunch at The 99, I had a bowl of clam chowder for dinner.
Tues: Clam Chowder, corn & black bean salad, leftover from the 99 lunch Mon.
Wed: Pancakes
Thurs: Burgers, baked potatoes, broccoli
Fri--tonight: Quiche. I have not left the house since I came home from work Tuesday. My son-in-law didn't feel well, so he took a covid test, which was positive. I only had a very minimal passing with him when I came home Sunday. They had been away for a week. We live in the in-law. I did not know what I would cook. While they were away I took care of the chickens and collected the eggs. I also had cheese, heavy cream, some prosciutto from an earlier harvest box, onions. I was good. (It might be a good idea to have a quiche a week, try out different recipes.)

T: Tilapia, rotini, and salad
W: Butter chicken and rice
R: Breakfast for dinner
