I made hubs and I beans and corn bread. I found some jowl bacon at the store and used it for seasoning, the taste was wonderful, it's been years since I have used that. Also had some ham to go in it.
DD had left over ceasar salad and a ham and cheese sandwich, she was very happy with that.
No dessert, we are trying not to have any very often.
I ate too many beans they were soooo good. Will fix them again tomorrow night with fried potatoes, hubs likes those.

Home made tomato soup. The tomatoes were from my parents garden last summer. My Mom stewed and froze them for me. With the tomatoes being free to me the soup cost less than Campbell's canned soup

last night I had planned on turkey piccata, but realized I had no lemons after I was already in for the night. 👎 I did have everything I needed to make Lombardy, though. so I served that over pappardelle. there's two more meals left of that.
tonight I'll do something with the black bean pulled chicken I took out of the freezer on Saturday. baked potato, maybe? idk.

Sunday night I made quesadillas. We cooked up the small filets that we got when we bought a cow last year. They were tiny so I sliced them up and sauted bell pepper and mushrooms and made quesadillas.

I'm still working on my freezer, so tonight is: 1 of the 2 oz filet of beef, 1 serving of homemade potato casserole, and for dessert will be 1 service (home made) Apple crisp made from a recipe from Walnut nuts.
After the snow and cold weather, this sound really good.

2 Pork chops $3.00 1 onion - $0.65 1 yellow bell pepper - $1.20 frozen veggies - $1.00 Total $5.85 for 2, $2.93 a serving
Dessert was home made peanut butter ice cream, even the peanut butter was made from scratch. I'm estimating that to be about $1 per half cup serving.

Quesadilla casserole
Contains ground beef, onion, garlic, corn, black beans, chilis, tomato sauce, this time we added rotel, mild. Also, cumin, chili powder, oregano, and red pepper. You layer, tortillas, meat mixture, cheese, and do it again. The last layer is cheese. Pop in the oven and bake for 15 or 20 minutes. Pretty good stuff.
Should have a salad but doubt I do tonight.
I will freeze a couple of servings of my leftover pinto beans for later, they are really good.

Monday night I wasn't hungry. I had a Greek yogurt with granola added.
Tuesday night I pan seared flank steak and made macaroni and cheese with broccoli. I would probably do a different cheese sauce next time. But I like the idea of dropping broccoli in for the last minute of pasta cook time.

I had been craving tacos, so that is what I made for me & DH last night.
3/4lb ground beef = $3 lettuce = negligible 2 ounces shredded cheese = .75 salsa = negligible 6 nacho cheese flavored shells = $2
= $5.75 for what ended up being 3 servings (1 for my lunch today)

I will be having leftover from last night. My son has ordered food from Blue Apron for me for as long as I want. Last night was a simple recipe but the food was drop dead wonderful. Fortunately I didn't finish it, so will do so tonight.

Pork Roast - $8 cheesy Cauliflower - $10 peppers & onions - $4 mashed Potatoes- $3 Total - $25
Homemade Chocolate & Peanut Butter Ice Cream Cake - $15 This more expensive because I use sweetener rather than sugar.
This is going to serve 5 of us tonight with leftovers. I'm going to guess at 10 servings, so $4 serving

DD and hubs had the rest of the quesadilla casserole, they said it was good. I baked some salmon and had Brussel sprouts with it. I seasoned my salmon with sushi ginger and also some wasabi. I really like that seasoning on salmon.
I also like to marinate it in italian dressing and bake, same with chicken.

I have white bean spinach and sausage soup for dinner tonight. I plan on making split pea soup for the weekend and freezer meals. I plan on having hashbrowns and pancakes over the weekend for brunch. I really want to make some cookies but am trying to be good....I am not sure if it will last.

tonight was pizza, from my favorite shop in my hometown. cost to me? $10. I had a slice each of basic cheese and loaded veggie.
I went to a concert tonight in a small venue, with a bunch of friends I sailed with a couple months back. a group of us met up at one lady's house, literally around the corner from the venue. she picked up a bunch of pizzas from her new favorite place (she bought her house during the pandemic and is still feeling her way around town) and sent us home with leftovers. I actually just snacked on a cold slice while I unwind from the 1h drive home.

my kitchen is packed doing a bunch of cooking for the pups today. dinner for me is going to be a blackened salmon Caesar salad later on. I picked up a beautiful salmon filet at the fish market, and some shredded parmesan cheese at the village market. ($16, and $4). I'll season about half of the fish for myself and split the unseasoned bits between the pups tomorrow. tomorrow, I'm getting Chinese takeout from the old school place on the Cape. a large PFR w/bean sprouts will run me $8, not sure what else I'll add to the order just yet. but there will be leftovers to pick from for days. this week? who knows. I haven't done a big shop in a bit, maybe that's on the agenda for Monday night.
ETA - I added an order of (6) teriyaki skewers. total cost was $22 including tip. yes, I tip for takeout.

I just took a 4 lb pork loin out of the oven so it's that and some steamed Brussels sprouts tonight. DH is doing Beyond Meat burgers tomorrow, our first time for those. I do the weekly menus on Sunday so I'm not sure what's on for all of next week but DH said he wants to pull some of his 15-bean soup out of the freezer for Thursday.

Saturday night shrimp linguine. I added some chopped fresh broccoli to the pasta in the last two minutes. Makes me feel slightly better about the carb feast. juliasalbum.com/creamy-shrimp-and-mushroom-pasta/The shrimp had been here awhile and the mushrooms needed used as well. DH bought the broccoli so I'm not sure how much it was. Cheaper than take out anyway.

Tonight was low carb turkey soup. Basically replace the potatoes or rice with cabbage. There was some turkey in the freezer I was worried was freezer burnt, but thank goodness it wasn't. Turkey, about 2 lbs went in the soup and I got it on sale, so $2 cabbage - $1 Seasonings -$2 Total-$5 At least 5 servings so $1/serving Tomorrow we will make the rest of the turkey into turkey salad in lettuce leaf wraps.
