Aug 6-26

Wow! How time flies! Just so you're aware (in case you're concerned), we have been eating these past few weeks, but have been so busy with odds and ends we haven't had time to post things to the blog. Our sincerest apologies. (Thanks, Jolie, for the reminder.) 

School has started for Tim, and Paul is getting ready to go back ASAP. The schedule change in our lives and readjustment period is still taking it's toll, but we're getting there - slowly, but surely. Our shopping these past few weeks have focused on buying as little as possible for the most bang for the buck.  It's been a challenge, but we've managed to stay close to $50 each week (minus the 5 for $25 meat sale at Price Chopper last week - couldn't resist stocking up).  

Here's the menu from 2 weeks ago (Aug 6-12):

Mon - Elephant Bar
Tues - Room 39
Wed - Summer Grilled Vegetable Pizza
Thurs - Shrimp Po'Boys
Fri - Enchiladas* - BINGO! The Musical @ American Heartland Theatre
Sat - Dinner w/ Paul's family (Helene's Hot Plate)
Sun - snack night

Here's the menu from last week (Aug. 13-19):

Mon - Sweet & Sour Peppers & Penne
Tues - Extra Virgin (thanks, Groupon!)
Wed - Sausage & Summer Squash Fried Rice*
Thurs - BBQ Chicken and Grilled Zucchini
Fri - Skillet Shrimp Fajitas*
Sat - 77 South (thanks, Restaurant.com!)
Sun - snack night - leftovers to clean out the fridge

FYI - The recipe for Sausage & Summer Squash Fried Rice is on the blog as Sausage & Zucchini Fried Rice (we just had squash to use up instead).

Now, for this week, we're trying some new items along with some old standards.  It's sure to be fun-filled week.  Hope you find inspiration (or even a meal) out of what we're having for dinner this week.

Here's this week's menu (Aug. 20-26):

Mon - Lemon Tilapia w/ Garlic-Parsley Couscous*
Tues - Sausage, Potato, & Cheese Waffles*
