I just saw Food, Inc. this afternoon. GO SEE IT. I will be making another post on it later, hopefully tomorrow, when I can more properly formulate a response.
Anyway, on to the menu planning. This month we have gone over budget on food by about $70. Part of it was due to poor grocery store planning, and part was from a small restocking trip to Costco on Friday. We had used up all our cheese reserves during our pizza party, so we needed more if we were going to have pizza on Friday and macaroni and cheese this coming Monday. And did you know Costco has organic raspberries at $1.99 for 12 ounces? I got two packages but kind of wish I had gotten more. One pack was used in a cobbler and we have eaten almost all of the other package. We like raspberries around here!
Monday: Homemade macaroni & cheese (from Nigella Express), roasted veggies
Tuesday: Burgers with homemade buns, sweet potato fries
Wednesday: Zucchini latkes (if we don’t get zucchini in our CSA box this week, I’ll just use potato)
Thursday: Ginger Steak Salad (from The Pioneer Woman)
Friday: Pizza
Saturday: Chicken and rice
Sunday: Butternut squash tacos (from digginfood)
What are you having to eat this week? Don’t forget to check out OrgJunkie for hundreds of other menu plans.
Are your homemade buns really dense? I like lighter ones and haven’t found a great recipe yet if you would like to share.

I haven’t tried making them yet but I am planning on using this recipe for Onion Studded Hamburger Buns from Coconut & Lime.
