What I Spent
I spent:
- $15 at Noodles and Company
And that’s it.
Yes, my fridge is a little empty. 😉 But luckily I had gotten a Hungry Harvest box last week, so that kept me supplied with produce.
What We Ate
Saturday
I pan-sauteed some baked sweet potato slices, fried some eggs, added some cilantro sauce, and called it dinner.
Sunday
It was my last study session with my classmates! We started out at Starbucks and then ended up at Noodles and Company again to finish up while eating dinner.
Monday
Green salad with imitation crab.
Tuesday
This was the day I got my grades back, and someone had sent me $50 as a graduation gift, soooo Zoe and I went out to a little local restaurant for dinner. Yay!!
Wednesday
Ummm…I made pancakes. Whole wheat blueberry pancakes. IT’S BEEN A LITTLE WHILE.
And once again, I rejoiced at how much more delicious they are than the Kodiak mix pancakes.
As we have established, Kodiak pancakes are not my destiny. 😉
Thursday
Mashed sweet potatoes, avocado with lime and salt, and pan-sauteed chicken tenderloins.
Friday
Today is my pinning ceremony and my parents are taking me out for dinner afterward. 🙂
Yesterday, some of the other honors society members and I did some decorating for the ceremony, and I was grateful I had my van to haul a big pile of balloons.
Also, we assembled a balloon arch, and I now understand why buying one of these already-made is rather expensive. It’s SO many balloons to inflate!
Who knew balloon-inflation was going to be part of our honors society duties?? 😉

I spent $92 at Kroger
Sunday – simple – black bean/cheese quesadillas and stuffed jalapenos. We added leftover coleslaw and half a leftover grilled ribeye from the night before for hubby.
Monday – baked pork chops, side dish of sauteed zucchini, yellow squash, onions with sun dried tomatoes, parsley buttered noodles.
Tuesday – I made a recipe I found online – sheet pan shrimp dish with cherry tomatoes, fennel, garlic, onions, over rice with egg rolls, cucumber kimchi. Recipe was a keeper
Wednesday – we had enough of the leftovers from Tuesday to eat for dinner tonight.
Thursday – Teriyaki chicken thighs with peppers, pineapple, onions over ramen noodles with green beans.
Friday – we ate out at a local Italian restaurant and had leftovers to bring home since I was out of town visiting an old friend all day.
Saturday - had a late snack lunch at a friend's birthday party so later I just doctored up a frozen pizza with jalapeno slices and feta cheese for a light dinner.

I will say that your meals do sometimes wish I didn't tend to concoct meals like rotini-cream-parmesan-broccoli-bacon ... but man, those speak my language just as much as sweet potatoes do. ;)
Happy pinning! Congrats!
