WIS, WWA | sticky buns

My dad had a birthday this week, so I made him some pecan sticky buns, using his mom's recipe.

I've posted my grandma's sweet roll recipe before with the apricot and cinnamon variations, but I don't think I'd ever even made her caramel nut variation.

But I am happy to say my first effort turned out well. Yay!

What I Spent

I spent:

• $84 at Aldi
• $34 at Giant

That makes $118 for me.

What We Ate

Saturday

I prepped some mashed potatoes, string beans, and chicken for my lunches, so that's what I ate for dinner.

Sunday

I worked, and I took my prepped lunch with me, of course.

Cereal after work, as per usual. 😉

Monday

I worked again, had an exact repeat of lunch, and had shredded wheat with a banana after work.

Tuesday

I grilled some burgers from the freezer (homemade), and we had those with some fruit salad.

Wednesday

I had frozen the tomato soup I made last week, so I thawed it for my dinner.

Thursday

I...was not having the best mental health day. Partly my brain was exhausted from an EMDR session at therapy, and partly I was feeling overwhelmed about the number of classes I have this upcoming semester.

And I was also mad because my new class professor sent out instructions to buy an online book, but the correct one wasn't available, so I accidentally bought the wrong one for $127. So then I had a small crash-out, because my tolerance level for the errors this school makes is very low by now.

(I did get a refund, and my professor corrected the problem with the book not being listed, so now I have the right book.)

Anyway. I was not feeling my most tip-top by dinnertime, so I boiled some cheese ravioli, dumped a jar of sauce on top, and sprinkled it with some shredded Parmesan. We had grapes on the side, and I called it done.

Friday

I'm back at work today, and I packed some tortilla soup that I had frozen a little while back. That was perfect for today, because it's a singleton shift all by itself.

What did you have for dinner this week?
