Looking for a recipe
I saw a recipe on a blog somewhere? I can't find it now. I think it was Garlic Bites, it was cut canned biscuits fried in garlic. If anyone has it can you please send it to me? Thanks

Having enough
Adding a new member to our family (Hunter the dog)
The chance to go back to school

July Spending
My general spending total for July is $155.00 for food and household items. I hope to only spend $50.00 for the next two weeks to keep myself under budget. My DD#2 is getting braces so last month I had to pay $600.00 up front and I am playing catch up on bills from that. The emergency fund of $800.00 went to fixing my car in June so that needs to be built back up again. Then in August I have to start paying $226.00 a month for the braces along with buying school supplies and uniforms for the twins!
Anyway my goal for August will be to get back on track.

Meal Plan 7/19-7/31
I know that it has been a looonngg time I am sorry. All I can say is that I will try to do better.
My meal plan is based pretty much on what I have on hand. I am hoping that what I do have to buy will be less than $50.00 for the rest of the month.
Also I am going to school on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights. It makes it hard to plan because we generally don't want to eat dinner at 5:00. So DD#1 (who goes to the same school on the same days) and I grab something on the run and the twins will make something from the choices I give them.
7/19 Monday:The twins made pasta while DD#1 and I were at school.
7/20 Tuesday: Subs with chips
7/21 Wednesday: Grilled cheese with soup or chips
7/22 Thursday: Takeout Pizza
7/23 Friday: Pacakes with sausage links
7/24 Saturday: Homemade chicken nuggets/tater tots/peas
7/25 Sunday: Turkey/stuffing/mashed potatoes/corn/cornbread (some don't liked mashed taters some don't like stuffing)
7/26 Monday: School The choices for this week are:
7/27 Tuesday: School Soup/Grilled Cheese/Quesadilla/Mac&Cheese w/veggie/Pizza/Eat
7/28 Wednesday: School with Grandparents
7/29 Thursday: Taco Salad
7/30 Friday: French Toast/bacon
7/31 Saturday: Leftover Buffet (I would like to get as much as I can cleared out for what I hope will be one BIG shop for the month of August.)

Meal Plan 2/22-2/28
Wow! I can't believe this is the last week of February. In just TWO weeks I will be starting school. I am still trying to figure out meals for when I do start school. If you have any ideas how 3 of us can eat dinner at 3 different times please let me know.
For this week I am keeping things simple and using up what I have.
Monday-Quesadilla (2.00) /rice (.50) /corn (1.00) = 3.50
EX meatloaf (1.75)/rice/corn =1.75
Tuesday-Soup (.50)/grilled cheese (1.00) 1.50 (testing for school)
EX meatloaf (1.75)/broc&ch (1.00) =2.75
Wednesday-Shake-n-bake chicken nuggets (2.50)/FF (1.00) = 3.50
EX Chili (0) freezer leftovers
Thursday- Ravoli (1.00)/corn (1.00)= 2.00 (work meeting)
EX ???
Friday-Bake Potatoe Bar (5.00) = 5.00 (EX too)
Saturday-
B-Homefries deluxe (1.50)/toast (.50) = 2.00
L- Pulled pork ( freezer leftovers from superbowl)/Chips (2.00) = 2.00
D-Boneless BBQ chicken (4.50)/FF (1.00) = 5.50
Sunday-
B-Sausage (2.50)/toast (.50) = 3.00
L- Leftovers (0) = 0
D-Turkey breast (5.75)/baked potatoe (1.50)/corn (1.00) = 8.25
(I am hoping that the leftover turkey breast will feed EX for most of the next week)
Total = $42.75
that is for 7 nights of dinners, 2 lunches and 2 breakfast
