Ok, I have done really well this week with not buying groceries. It seems silly, but I shop a lot. Since I haven't been letting myself go shopping lately, I find myself at the grocery store. I have no idea why! Isn't it funny though ...

So, other than the veggies, alfredo sauce and chicken I picked up the other day, I haven't set foot in Publix.

On Monday, we had a chicken/pasta dish. It was made with leftover veggies I cooked over the weekend, pasta, and some chicken all mixed with some pesto sauce. It was really good.

Tuesday - I made spinach pizza. I used the alfredo sauce, mushrooms that were close to being bad, spinach that was close to being bad and chicken on a whole wheat crust. It was REALLY good and great for using up stuff that was about to be "eeww". I need to look into a recipe for pizza crust, b/c even though this was labled "thin" my daughter hated it.

Wed - My parents made steak since my brother is in town and invited us over. Free food!!!! Free food is the best, incase you are wondering.

Thur - I made chicken nachos. I made black beans and rice with it. Julie didn't really care for this, but she's getting her two year old molars in, so she's not eating much lately. I don't know what to think about that. The chicken I let soak in the taco seasoning for a couple of days, then I used some shredded cheese I grated, some sour cream, and some home made salsa. They were pretty good.

Tonight - I stopped at my mom's b/c it was pouring on the way to my house, and I didn't feel like dealing with it. She'd ordered chinese. So more free food! Then she sent my brother out for ice cream, which I ate a couple of bites of, and let my sister have the rest. Even more free food!

AND - she's taking Julie to Universal Studios tomorrow, so she wanted to watch her tonight! YEAH. It's been a good week. I only need to withdraw a $20 from my bank account to pay for rent, though I can probably wait and just mae the $20 at work tomorrow. I wish I could to to US with them, but I'll just save the money.

So, now I just have to organize and clean my house tomorrrow. I am going to come up with a list of menus out of what's left in the fridge ... though we could just go back to my parents for dinner.
