Happy Sunday everyone. Hope you all are having a great weekend!

Our food spending is going better. We’ve been eating at home more and when we do eat out at a restaurant, it’s been pretty cheap because we’ve been using coupons.

• Monday – Baked Salmon with Browned Butter Sauce
• Tuesday –   BLTs
• Wednesday – Steak Fajitas
  
• Thursday – Spaghetti
• Friday – Roasted Tomato & Garlic Linguini with Rocket
• Saturday – Out to Eat
• Sunday – Steak

It’s been a great weekend so far, except for the fact that my dog must be having an allergic reaction to something and her face is extremely swollen. We plan on taking her to the vet if it doesn’t get better by a couple of hours from now.

• Monday – Enchiladas
• Tuesday –  Pesto Stuffed Shells
• Wednesday – Jalapeno Popper Inspired Grilled Cheese
  
• Thursday –Salmon
• Friday – Teriyaki Chicken
• Saturday – Out to Eat
• Sunday – Eggplant Parmesan

Happy Sunday everyone. I haven’t posted a Sunday Meal Plan in what feels like forever. And yes, this has hurt my food budget. I have no clue what to make everyday and have been spending more than I would like.

Also, if you’ve made any food posts lately, post them below! This can be recipes, food budgets, tips, etc. Seriously, anything related to food.

• Monday – Breakfast for Dinner – Coconut Pancakes – These look CRAZY GOOD
• Tuesday –  Beef Stroganoff
• Wednesday – Chicken Alfredo
  
• Thursday -Steak
• Friday – Huevos rancheros
  
• Saturday – Out to Eat
• Sunday – Spaghetti

I also took part in an awesome beauty blogger sample swap! My awesome swap partner was Jen over at The Happy Homeowner! This swap was a ton of fun. And it was even better since my swap partner was a bloggy friend that I know.

When I opened up the package, I was super excited. It was all in a cute little Sephora bag and was packed full of awesome things.

She gave me a TON of awesome things. Bath stuff, face wash, chapstick, lotion, etc. Loved it all!

Thanks so much 🙂

We have been doing extremely well since I made my food challenge post! We haven’t ate out at all (except for some quick & cheap snacks before class and while on the go). BUT I have made dinner EVERY NIGHT!

I’ve spent only $42 on food ever since I made my challenge. We’ve been eating the things that we already have in the fridge and it’s been going great. Did anyone join the food challenge with me? How’s it going for you?

Another good thing is that I’m not even sick of eating at home yet! Thanks to eating at home, I will most likely have around $500 extra in my budgeted cash flow for the month, which is great as well. I can apply that towards something (like student loans most likely).

Here’s what I plan on making as our main course for each dinner:

• Monday – BBQ Chicken
• Tuesday – Steak
  
• Thursday – Stuffed Chicken
• Friday – Chimichangas
  
• Saturday – Chili
• Sunday – Kabobs
