Menu Plans

So it's the last week of the month and Dan and I are trying to follow a budget so he doesn't freak out about me buying stuff and I don't go buying everything in sight. Last week of the month tends to be a bit tight and as Dan-o did a Costco run it's even smaller. Thus this weeks menu is "what do I have on hand so I buy the least possible groceries."

Menu

Sunday—slow cooker orange chicken recipe with rice and edemame

Monday— onion sandwiches (we never made the ones on the previous menu plan and those ingredients don't go bad quickly so now we'll enjoy those!)

Tuesday— avocado pesto pasta

Wednesday—leftovers

Thursday—leftovers

Friday/Saturday—out

This is what my grocery list looks like for today

Groceries

Produce

Salad boxes (for lunches)

Fresh basil

2 avocados

1 carton cherry tomatoes

Meat

Dairy

Blue cheese

Pantry

bread

6oz can frozen orange juice concentrate

½ cup pine nuts

Pretty good! The only expensive part is going to be the produce but this California girl really can't go a week without any fresh produce.
