This Week's Menu

February's Menu

Ok.  It is the middle of February (the 15th to be exact)...and how are we doin' on our food and budget.  Pretty good.  We stretched January's food until about the eighth of February.  Bought a few things and stretched out what was leftover from the January Meals.  On February 8th I purchased food for a week's worth of meals.

Meals purchased for February so far:

Tacos

Chicken and Pepperoni

Crispy Parmesan Chicken

Sausage and spinach Risotto

Pasta w/sausage and vegetables.

Changes:  didn't make the pasta yet.  We made a fritatta for dinner tonight with the leftover spinach, onion and mushrooms and sausage...delicious.  I cooked the fritatta in the oven which was easier.  It came out really good.  We have plenty left over for breakfast in the morning.  I think I will use the rest of the sausage and make stuffed bell peppers instead of the sausage and pasta because we have a ton of left over chicken and pepperoni and we can have that over spaghetti tomorrow night.  Yum!

And to think...I almost went to the store today thinking I didn't have anything for dinner.  

Money spent on food so far in February:  $457.00

Cash taken out of the ATM in February:  $200.00

So far so good.
