Meals/Meal Planning and an unexpected $75

June 29th, 2014 at 12:00 am

I just opened a checking account to accompany the joint household account that I have at a bank with my husband. My first direct deposit went in yesterday & I guess that they were running a special, because they gave me a 'Direct Deposit Bonus' of $75! That money goes to the Christmas Fund!

Anyway, DH went to the grocery store & I went to the Farmer's market after work. We are pretty much set for the week! I forgot to get an ingredient for sloppy joe, but will pick that up tomorrow.

Last night, we had random stuff from the kitchen. This morning, I made scrambled eggs and hash browns.

We did have lunch out with a friend, but lunch was on him as we'd done him a favor. Yummy!

When we came home, I took pork chops out of the fridge, threw chicken in the crockpot and made shredded barbeque chicken, made a side of pasta salad and made meatloaf muffins.

DH grilled the pork chops for dinner & I made baked potatoes. He also grilled chicken to be used for salads for work lunches.

I packaged the muffins into 3rds. 1 pack went in the fridge & 2 into the freezer. I split the BBQ chicken in half - half to fridge & half to freezer.

The Pasta salad is going to a friend's for lunch at their house. We are going to meet their new daughter!

We now have easy to make/put together meals for the week!

    It is great that you are planning your meals...planning is the key so you don't get tempted to eat out or pick up something. You are being smart.

    Yeah for meal planning and 'batch' cooking with microwave defrosts as fast as you can make a salad. I don't let myself walk into the grocery without a list as it's annoying to miss a needed ingredient. So easy with cell phone, when you use the last______open the last container of __________ , easy peasy to note it in your free app. I'm impressed DH willingly goes grocery shopping, I get nervous with DH in a grocery store as he buys stuff I've never heard of lol.
