Menu Monday

A review of last week's menu:

Monday: frozen pizza (the breadsticks really make it)
Tuesday: sushi! We go to Origami Sushi for "happy hour" which can feed us for about $20 (edamame 3 amazing rolls (must try the Crazy Horse - we're addicted) and 2 drinks). The Boy eats edamame and then a PB&J, but he also eats anything off the end of our chopsticks. I get him trainer chopsticks but he likes to stab his food instead of eat it)
Wednesday: bacon-wrapped shrimp and risotto
Thursday: turkey tenderloin and garlic pasta
Friday: Beef O'Brady's - I had a lackluster patty melt and Hubby had his favorite, the Watterson. I hate when his meal is better than mine :)
Saturday: Tortellini in a garlic cream sauce w/ mushrooms and grape tomatoes and Flax beer bread
Sunday: Cuban sandwiches

I managed to get through most of the week without going to the store, except by Thursday I had to hit it for about $35 of staples, like milk and bacon (ha! you think I'm kidding! I buy $7 bacon - only Wright's for me) and I picked up the tortellini (made my own sauce) and the turkey tenderloin while I was there. We wouldn't have gone out more than once this week except we were headed to a friend's jazz gig Friday night when the heavens opened up and we couldn't justify sitting out in the wet, humid gross Florida night with two children. So we detoured.

This week:

Monday: chicken mac & cheese
Tuesday: Lasagna rolls with spinach
Wednesday: chicken tacos
Thursday: Vallarta's with friends from Delaware
Friday: Breakfast sandwiches (if we are home and not with friends from Delaware)
Saturday: Pork chops, corn and fried okra (if we are home and not with friends from Delaware)

I shouldn't have needed much of anything this week - eggs, bread, spinach. However, we ended up spending $67 on groceries this week! Did I mention I've signed up for a couponing class?
