My Frugal Week
This was another week of eating at home to save money. No eating out, take out, or fast food. I wash my dishes several times each day, so my kitchen stays neat and tidy, so that I want to go in there and cook.
What’s for Dinner
Monday ~ Chicken Tacos, Tortillas, Red Onion, Cheddar Cheese, Tomatoes, and Lettuce.
Movie Night Tuesday ~ Homemade Pizza
Wednesday & Thursday ~ Lentil Loaf, Mashed Pot, Green Peas.
Fish on Friday ~ Salmon Patties, Green Beans with Onions, and Baked Sweet Potatoes.
Saturday ~ Bailey attended an event in Marietta, Georgia, so I was on my own for dinner, which was a plant based meal to save money on meat. Baked potato with broccoli and black olives and a salad. 😋
Sunday ~ Chicken made in the slow cooker, using one can of enchilada sauce. Roasted Vegetables (Potatoes, Celery, Carrots, Onions), and Steamed Broccoli. The chicken was so good with the enchilada sauce. I’m going to make it that way more often.
We served two meatless meals this week to save money on meat.
What’s been on the menu in your home this past week?

ReplyDeleteWe will definitely do it again.
DeleteSharing meals with Sissie sure saves me money, but I also try and cook for her!
ReplyDeleteThat is so sweet of you both, Kim.
DeleteYour meals sound tasty! I want to try your chicken with enchilada sauce too.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a good week.
Thanks, Kathy. I hope you have a good week too.
DeleteOhhhh, the chicken in the slow cooker sounds amazing. I have actually seen enchilada sauce for sale in our grocery store.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Sometimes I can find it on sale here, which helps save money.
DeleteGood for you! We did take-out lo mein one night... a splurge for me!
ReplyDeleteI simply must have all dishes put away before I go to bed. And before dinner too. It's amazing how they can pile up -- even with a dishwasher!
Yes! They pile up easily when you mostly cook at home, so I do my best to not let that happen.
DeleteI am going to try the crockpot chicken and enchilada sauce. It sounds really good
ReplyDeleteThat one is a keeper, Anne.
