Since I last posted, both recipes I tried (Sour Cream and Bacon Chicken, Beef Stroganoff) were a hit with my family. I've even made the Stroganoff twice. I'm meal planning a week at a time, with each beginning day being different than the previous ;0 Sometimes things just work out that way!
Tonight is leftovers from DS birthday.Grilled hot dogs. The sides are completely nontraditional; fried summer squash, and steamed broccoli, with a side salad. Funny, I know! But, I've got to utilize the veggies from last week's produce.
My homemade yogurt has been a hit when mixed with some yummy jam. I will be utilizing the rest of the yogurt tomorrow when I make mashed potatoes. The beef bologna that I bought from the co-op isn't that good. I'm going to have to use it soon, before I lose it. I'm thinking pan-fried, mixed in with something, so the kids won't know. What, you (and I ) ask? Let me know if you figure it out!!
School's last day is tomorrow. I am so excited! No more yucky influences on the kids. No more "cooties" lol! No more waking up entirely too early. Just relaxing and enjoying.
So, another day down, and a lifetime to go.

So much to not say
Well, I am trying out a new recipe again tonight. It's called Sour Cream and Bacon Chicken. I found the recipe on Lamp Unto My Feet. It's been simmering in the crock-pot for about 6 hours. Smelling Good! I feel like I've got a few new meals that our family really enjoys, and I'm happy for that. There have definitely been some mishaps in the kitchen. And the kids haven't liked everything I've made, lol. But, it's a trial and error situation.
I'm still spending around $200 a paycheck(bi-weekly) on food alone. And that isn't going out to eat at all! Even home-cooked meals are not cutting into our food allowance in a positive fashion. But, neither are they imposing a negative effect. So, it's working out okay for the time being. I eventually would like to get it down by $50 a paycheck. But, I haven't figured that out yet.
I'm ordering more and more on amazon's subscribe and save program. It's a really great way to cut down on cost! I was skeptical at first because I didn't want to be tied down to having to make a purchase. But, once I realized that I can change the frequency of my items at any time, and can even postpone them altogether, I was all for it.
I've got to finish with this week's menu plan, so until next time....
