Would you believe we still haven't gone grocery shopping yet this month?! Yesterday was 16 days since buying any groceries, and Joshua made a quick run to the nearby QFC for a couple sale items and bananas. I'm totally out of vegetables (fresh, frozen, or canned except tomatoes), down to just frozen strawberries for fruit, 1 egg left (out of the 10 dozen we bought 17 days ago), 3 cups of milk left, no cheese, no potatoes, etc...
Tonight, Joshua's going to Costco (yay!), and we'll have a full fridge and freezer again. (I'll post about our shopping trip tomorrow.)
I had fun planning this week's menu! And I do like bi-weekly grocery shopping. It saves time and we spend less because we end up eating cheaper things like carrots and extra beans. ;)
Monday
Lentil chili (I have 1/2 an onion left for this!), corn bread (1/2 the recipe since I have 1 egg), and strawberry slushies
Tuesday
Oven-roasted chicken, seasoned baked potato wedges, steamed broccoli
Wednesday
Beef vegetable soup, hearty herb bread
Thursday
Veggie Burgers (recipe from a friend), cooked peas and carrots
Friday
Pan-fried Halibut (new thing I'm trying), oven fries, green beans
Saturday
Easy lasagna, homemade garlic bread, green beans
Sunday
Beef enchiladas (from the freezer), and any leftover veggies, etc. from the fridge
Extras I want to do this week:
Mix up herbs for pregnancy tea (I didn't get that done yet)
Make homemade yogurt
Make creamy pear pie
Breakfasts:
Regular old oatmeal (x3)
Fruit smoothies (including blackberries from our freezer and homemade kefir) (x2)
Crepes and scrambled eggs (x2)
Lunches:
Beans with hot sauce and cheese (I will send this in Joshua's lunches too) or leftovers, bananas
