I've been just a bit lazy the last week and haven't even gotten out to do any shopping to take advantage of grocery sales. My gut tells me I am taking a chance and may regret it later. But I'll worry about it then.
Instead, we stopped by the Farmer's Market (Sunday) on our way to the mall to use our Gap Groupon and picked up $9 worth of vegetables. Truth be known, that's a doggone good price to pay for the week's groceries. I'll be doing some creative manipulating to come up with great ways to use them throughout the week. It looks like the theme suggests a high leaning toward Asian cooking.
Lunch Ideas
- Chips, veggie sticks, hummus
- Veggie Meat Sandwiches
- Leftovers x2
- PB&J
Dinner Ideas
- Zucchini Almond Pasta Salad
- Fragrant rice with yellow and green squash (from Moosewood Cooks at Home)
- Vietnamese Noodle Salad (from Moosewood Simple Suppers)
- Asian-style Eggplant over Quinoa
- Tuesday night is a church meeting. Think I'll get fed. Paul gets PB&J or cereal or leftovers.
Saturday lunch was at the folks. Pasta with the same on-sale veggies we got on Sunday. Saturday lunch was cereal and a sweet potato muffin. Sunday was special as the meal was all about our Fantasy Football Draft. We had a roasted bell pepper and zucchini rosemary sandwiches.
It's been fun so far. Let's hope I can stay on course this week! What's your plan for managing your groceries and meals?
