The extra cash we have had is going towards extra payments at the end of this month, but its very difficult to have Valentine's Day coming and we're not doing anything. We haven't been extravagant in years past, but it seems the more cash we have - the less we have. Right now, we are on a pretty strict budget and so we've made a promise to not eat out. It'll be worth it at the end, when it's all paid (e.t.a.=May) - just right now is harder to get past then we thought it'd be.
The better news is that our 2 year old is eating again...cleaned up his toys last night with very little prompting, and getting the hang of potty training. Find joy in the small things, right?
I also have a new goal of trying to incorporate steamed/roasted vegetables in as snacks. It's simple to re-heat and definitely a way to make sure we are getting the right veggies each day - without having another thing to cook at dinner. I could just as well re-heat at dinner, but sometimes the veggies don't go with the meals, and it's just something else to remember to do at 7pm when we are trying to get dinner on the table.
THIS IS LUNCH:
Monday | Baked Potatoes with Cheese, Sour Cream and Bacon; Waldorf Salad (still didn't make this), Granola Bars |
Tuesday | Chicken Quesadillas; chips and salsa, Jello and Yogurt, Broccoli with butter |
Wednesday | Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup (Hubby has work lunch); Celery with PB, Yogurt and Orange |
Thursday | Left over Ziti from Tuesday dinner; Carrot Stix with Ranch dressing, Pudding |
Friday | Santa Fe Salad (this sounds so tasty); Sliced strawberries and kiwis, Yogurt, |
Saturday | Egg Rolls (I think I'm going to get adventurous Friday night and make these or empanadas - I'll let you know how it goes) |
Sunday | Greek Chicken left over mixed in with pasta and feta cheese and Greek Salad Dressing |
THIS IS DINNER:
Monday | Beef Stroganoff steam broccoli for tomorrow |
Tuesday | Ziti with Salad and Bread Hubby makes his own tomato sauce, so I'm going to try and get him to make a tomato soup too. |
Wednesday | Greek Chicken, Tabouli and Pita (we didn't make this from last menu plan) |
Thursday | Taco Soup or Taco Salads |
Friday | Sweet n Sour Chicken with rice |
Saturday | Ham and Pineapple Pizza - there are so many different options! Finding a good pizza dough has been so helpful and then we just add toppings. |
Sunday | Family Dinner - we canceled last week, so it's still not our turn yet! Yay! |
Thanks for stopping by!
