Past Week's Grocery Challenge

I decided not to make a meal plan in advance this past week.  I decided to just wing it and keep up with my meals to share afterward.  Here is what we ate this past week.


Monday - W was at work.  I had an egg and toast for breakfast and a pizza calzone for lunch.  Dinner was salads with lots of vegetables from the fridge and some diced ham.


Tuesday  - Breakfast was egg and toast again.  W had to go in for a work meeting with lunch provided so I ate chicken tenders and raw veggies.  Supper was a turkey pot pie and slaw using a cabbage from the garden.


Wednesday - Breakfast was the same.  Lunches were eaten at different times but consisted of the same thing.  We had boiled eggs, raw vegetables, cheese, and almonds.  Supper was leftovers from last night.


Thursday - We finally had a normal schedule.  W ate eggs and toast for breakfast while I had muffins from the freezer.  Lunch was cubed steak, baked potatoes, asparagus (garden), and garden peas (garden).  Supper was nachos.


Friday - W had cereal for lunch while I ate an egg and toast.  I still needed to use up potatoes so I planned French fries along with hamburgers on homemade buns.  My supper plans changed when I discovered we had lettuce that needed to be used up.  We had big salads for supper with homemade croutons.  I made ranch dressing. 


Saturday - W was at work.  I ate a hard boiled egg and some almonds for breakfast.  We were having an outdoor event at church so I was in a hurry.  Lunch was served at church.  W and I ate leftovers for supper.


Sunday - W was at work.  I had morning glory muffins from the freezer.  I usually eat lunch at my parents' house.  I long ago gave up planning suppers on Sundays.  This is the middle of W's week, and he is usually tired and not very hungry.  He ate a bowl of cereal.  I had what I call a snacky supper - assorted veggies with homemade ranch, cheese, homemade crackers, and hard boiled egg.


I think we ate very well with what I had on hand.  I did not include the snacks that we ate as those are harder to track.  I am off to do a tiny bit of grocery shopping this afternoon.  I do need to pick up items for a church party and a family party that are coming up soon.  I was asked to take some items that I do not have on hand.  These are minimal so I am going to pick those up now in hopes of avoiding the grocery store for a couple of weeks. Come back tomorrow for a post on what I bought and more about those homemade crackers!
