All You Grocery Challenge ~ Day 8

Okay, I know I'm behind (as usual).  Now I have to try to remember everything we ate since Wednesday!  Too bad I already chunked the menu and made this week's!

Wednesday 6/23 Breakfast:  steel cut oats

Wednesday 6/23 Lunch:  last of the spaghetti & other various leftovers

Wednesday 6/23 Supper:  barbeque muffin cups (canned biscuit dough stretched into muffin tins, mixture of cooked ground beef & leftover shredded roast with brown sugar & bbq sauce, topped with cheese), homemade french fries, grapes

Thursday 6/24 Breakfast:  sausage/egg/cheese rolls (I make the dough in the bread machine with my cinnamon roll dough recipe.  Used 2 pounds of Jimmy Dean to make a huge skillet full of sausage gravy.  Scrambled 2 dozen eggs.  Spread the sausage, gravy, eggs, & shredded cheddar on dough, rolled up, and cut like cinnamon rolls.  This made 3 dozen, which lasted us a couple days.)

Thursday 6/24 Lunch:  Leftover foil packets (beef, onion, potato, & green beans) and bbq muffins

Thursday 6/24 Supper:  Quick peanut butter & jelly sandwiches before hubby & the kids headed to his folks' to watch a movie

Friday 6/25 Breakfast:  Whole grain pancakes with homemade syrup (I used w.w. flour, flax seed, & wheat germ)

Friday 6/25 Lunch:  Made my own version of Hamburger Helper with lean ground beef, egg noodles, parsley from the garden, & spices

Friday 6/25 Supper:  roasted leg quarters, new potatoes straight from garden ("baked" in microwave and buttered/salted/peppered), green beans, then we went blackberry picking at a local nature trail

Saturday 6/26 Breakfast:  leftover sausage/egg/ cheese rolls

Saturday 6/26 Lunch:  We went to a family reunion with a huge potluck.  Our contribution was deviled eggs & gooey butter cake.

Saturday 6/26 Supper:  Leftovers from Friday's lunch & supper

Sunday 6/27 Breakfast:  Canned jumbo biscuits (like Grands) & maple sausage patties, Ovaltine chocolate milk

Sunday 6/27 Lunch:  Tuna salad sandwiches made with 5 cans tuna, 10 boiled eggs, 2 chopped apples, mayo & relish (took leftovers to a lady in church who just had surgery)

Sunday 6/27 Supper:  Totino's pizzas & watermelon ~ a really fun supper we tried last Sunday night (and now I've used all my Totino's coupons!)

I finally did my first grocery shopping that 'counts' for this challenge:  Spent $26.26 at Aldi on Friday and $11.66 at WalMart this afternoon (Wmart mostly was 'junk food' for our upcoming trip, plus our Totino's for supper).  Week's Total:  $37.92

We will be really low on groceries after this week, but we are headed to Louisiana for a long 4th of July weekend.  After we get home, I'll have to go on a big grocery shopping spree.
