What I Spent
I used to make a lot more sandwiches than I do now, but…two dinner meals were sandwiches this week. 😉
I spent:
- $77 at Aldi
- $4 at Giant
And that’s it! $81 for me. Sweet.
Please enjoy how short her legs are. Thank you.
What We Ate
Saturday
Zoe was out, so I made a one-person shrimp and pasta dish for myself, with a green salad on the side.
Sunday
I wanted to use up a single pita and a single piece of naan from the freezer, so I made two little individual pizzas for us.
Monday
I was going to make BLTs after my work shift, but I forgot to get the bacon out of the freezer before work.
Soooo….ham sandwich time.
Tuesday
BLT time! Well, actually, BLAT, since I added avocado.
Wednesday
I made Swiss mushroom chicken, except without the mushrooms because neither of us has an appreciation for mushrooms.
a picture from when I made this with mushrooms, obviously
So, it was…Swiss chicken, I guess?
Just a fruit salad on the side.
Thursday
I made some kale salad and some sauteed chicken mainly to use for my lunches, but it served just fine for dinner as well.
Friday
I’m working a shift today and tomorrow, which means tonight is one of those nights where I will have about an hour between getting home and going to bed.
Does this sound like a pancake night to you? Because IT DOES TO ME.
You know I will be wearing some of my spooky earrings to work today, like maybe the friendly ghosts. 🙂
Never fear: I gave some of these away because they were not hospital-friendly. I’m not wearing coffin earrings to work!

Your Wed night sandwich without the mushrooms looked like it could be called chicken cordon bleu?

Chiquita is judging your ham sandwich choice.

Today is Halloween, and we trick or treat from 4 to 8 in my city. I always make something simple in the crockpot so I don't miss any kiddos by needing to hide in the kitchen and cook. This year, it was potato soup with ham and rye bread on the side. Perfect for trick or treating night!

It takes some time to make pancakes. I make a big batch at a time, and then I freeze them in groups of three. I thaw (30 seconds full power, then separate the stack) and reheat them (30 more seconds) in the microwave and they taste like they were freshly made. I reuse the plastic zipper bags I use to freeze them.
It doesn't take much more time to make batter for a large batch or clean up after, although it does take more time to make them all on the griddle. So it's a weekend morning project. It's nice to be able to have pancakes on a busy morning.
