We are doing better with food! I cooked everyday last week for dinner, which is much better than usual. I spent a little the other day on fresh fruits and vegetables. 6 kiwis were only a $1! Same with a pound of strawberries and a pound of blueberries, so I couldn’t say no. They also had fresh chicken for $2 a pound, whereas normally I buy it for $6, so I stocked up.

I wanted to thank everyone again for all of the great tips on my food challenge post!

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

• Monday – Enchilada Casserole
• Tuesday – Cheesy Basil Stuffed Chicken
• Wednesday – BBQ Chicken
• Thursday – BLTs
• Friday – Steak
  
• Saturday -Teriyaki Chicken
• Sunday – Fajitas

I spent a lot more on food then I said I was going to last week (I said only $40). Instead I spent around $110. However, I bought a ton of meat and a bunch of other things, so I guess that’s ok. And I bought enough for this weeks meal plan as well.

Still kind of scary though! How much do you usually spend on groceries a month?

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

• Monday – Chicken Parmesan Wraps. I didn’t make this last week, so it’s back on the meal plan
• Tuesday – I’m going to try Sticky Wings again. I tried making this while ago but it turned out disgusting.
• Wednesday – BBQ Pork with Mango Slaw
• Thursday – Three Cheese Baked Ziti
• Friday – Out to eat
  
• Saturday – Out to eat
• Sunday – Steak

Wow it’s already Sunday! I have a lot of homework to do, papers to write, etc. I really can’t wait until classes are over. Mainly because I will be able to actually enjoy lunches at work (right now throughout this whole semester I’ve been dedicating my hour lunch break to homework. Not fun!).

I was kind of lazy last week when it came to making dinner.  I think I probably made around 3 dinners at that’s all. I need to do better with this next week. I’m going to guess for me to be able to make the meals below (and meals for breakfast, lunch and snacks), that I’ll need to spend around $40 this week on groceries. Not bad, we have a ton of stuff in our pantry and fridge still.

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

• Monday – Chicken Parmesan Wraps
• Tuesday – Steak
• Wednesday – Enchiladas
• Thursday – Sausage and Rice
• Friday – Out to eat
  
• Saturday – Out to eat
• Sunday – Vegan Wraps (Part of me being more healthy!)

We ate out A LOT last week while on vacation. We didn’t have a stove or anything (just a small mini fridge) so we ate out for every meal. Definitely added up quickly. Eating out tastes good, but I’ve been hungry for some home made food.

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

• Monday – Pot Roast
• Tuesday – Chicken Ropa Vieja
• Wednesday – Chicken Teriyaki
• Thursday – Crockpot Italian Chicken
• Friday – Hawaiian Chicken
• Saturday – Steak
• Sunday – Out for dinner

Here’s the new drink that I’m going to make this week:
