I made some awesome bison chili yesterday, and I can’t even give you the recipe, because I just threw things together. I know it involved ground bison, sweet pepper, jalapeno, onion, tomatoes, pinto beans in chili sauce, garlic pepper blend, chipotle chili powder, and Cajun seasoning. So at least you have something to work from!
Monday: Curried veggies with lentils
Tuesday: Breakfast for dinner
Wednesday:Tuna Pasta Salad
Thursday:Tomato soup
Friday: Pizza
Saturday: Grilled sausage
Sunday: Curried pumpkin soup
I realize we’re having soup twice and curry flavors twice, but oh well. We might not have the grilled sausage on Saturday because I forgot to buy some at the farmer’s market this weekend, and I think we’ll have leftovers from dinners the rest of the week to take care of.
Speaking of buying food, I’ve realized that I really need to do all the shopping if I am going to be saving money! I gave my husband a detailed list, and while he returned with the right things, they weren’t quite what I would have gotten. Non-organic milk, a huge tub of plain yogurt instead of one cup, and sort-of expensive broth. Granted the store he went to didn’t have what we normally get, so he improvised instead of going to the other store or coming home without. It just burns me to spend $2.75 on a container of broth!
C’est la vie. We have about $60 to spend on groceries for the rest of the month, although we do have a CSA delivery coming up (that’s prepaid and subtracted from our budget right off). I really want to spend only $250 on groceries this month. It’s been my goal since we started budgeting and we have never made it! I know it can happen, though.
