Meals for this week

I am so happy to have a normal week coming up. We have a lot of exciting events happening this week/weekend.

First up... my Erin Condren calendar is suppose to be delivered this Tuesday! I am so excited for it to come in but I ordered it almost a month ago!!! If you are wanting one, be prepared to wait a LONG time for it to come in. Not complaining, just a fact. I guess it makes the anticipation that much more...

Secondly, we have a meeting with our builders next Saturday to start our contract. I am excited, nervous, anxious and intimidated about this meeting. It will be the start of the biggest financial decision that my husband and I will ever make.

Thirdly, this week my husband is home which means that my meal planning is back on track. I am excited about some of the meals this week. I also do our weekly grocery trip on Sunday and try and lower the amount I spend each week. This week will be hard to beat because I only spent $62. That includes a case of water, a 20 pack of Diet Coke cans, and 3 Capri Sun packs so the total spent on food was very little. We are using a lot of our pantry stock just because we have so much. Here is our weekly menu...

Sunday (tonight)- Jambalaya
Monday- Chicken Quesadillas
I do not have a recipe for this but had left over tortillas and could not think of anything to make using tortillas. A friend of mine suggested quesadillas, duh!! I make them with tortillas, chicken, beans, onions, cheese, and taco sauce. They are super yummy!!

Tuesday- Hamburger Helper
Easy, yes! Some people hate hamburger helper but my husband and I love it!

I have made this before and it was a huge hit. I had bought some crescent rolls because they were on sale and then never used them. They expire at the end of this week so what a perfect meal!!
I have never made this but it looks amazing! I will report back next week.
Friday- Out to eat somewhere. If I get my way, we will go to Pappasitos!

Saturday- Texas Roadhouse
This is one of my favorite restaurants and we will have lunch here after we meet with our builders.
