Day 23
Okay, okay, I can see that my New Year Resolution is going to use some tweaking (that word always reminds me of that movie You've Got Mail). We have leftovers coming out of our ears. I planned way too many meals or cooked way too much for the week. The menu I first started out with was:
Sunday: Minestrone soup
Monday: Beef Stroganoff
Tuesday: Chicken Cacciatore
Wednesday: chili
Thursday: leftovers
Friday: Baked Potatoes
Saturday: Spaghetti and Meatballs
There is still minestrone soup leftover and now there is quite a bit of chicken cacciatore left over as well. Thursdays leftovers is now going to be Wednesday AND Thursday leftovers and who knows maybe even Friday's leftovers.
If anyone has some suggestions as to better meal planning I would be happy to hear it. One the plus side I haven't spent any more money on food or taken any more cash out and either has my husband. Hurray. Maybe we will last until the end of the month with all this food!
I have been getting some inspiration for meal ideas from Allrecipes. Has anyone ever tried the weekly menu ideas from them? You need to be a pro-member which I am not. If you haven't already guessed I am not the best cook in the world. I really do not enjoy cooking. I play a lot of tennis and I play on a bunch of USTA teams. The thing I hate the most is when we have home matches and everyone has to bring some kind of dish. All these other women make these delicious dishes and I bring a family size sandwich from Togos.
On an unrelated topic..I am still working on my new samples for my Stella & Dot business. I ended up sending back four items and exchanging them for others. As soon as I have all my samples and my new display organized maybe I will post a video. I will post some photos for sure.
Speaking of tennis...I am on my way out the door now....AND what about that Sloane Stephens last night at the Australian Open. Pretty exciting stuff for her.
