It's been forever since I've posted a menu plan. Thus, the weekly menu has not been what it ought to be. I notice I tend to desire to eat out more when the menu isn't planned, which in turn causes a higher cost in our food budget. That needs to get nipped in the bud! That needs to get nipped in the bud!

My lunch leftovers were at least 25% better than the original dish. Wednesday Leftover chicken katsu, freshly fried, because I employed the trick of breading all the chicken but not frying all of it the first night. Two words we do not tend to use for leftover fried chicken!) What did you have for dinner this week?

Sunday I remember that Zoe ate a frozen French bread pizza. So that’s when I switched to the French bread pizza for Zoe. Tuesday I sauteed some ham from the freezer, then sauteed some chopped kale, then added in leftover mac and cheese plus some milk and cream. But I cannot for the life of me remember what I ate.

Sunday I found a few slices of bread in the freezer, so Zoe had some French toast plus the rest of the bacon, and I had some whole-wheat blueberry pancakes. Chiquita commandeered the empty pizza box Wednesday Zoe was out with a friend, so I ate the leftover burger from Monday night. squirrel-watching I spent: $ 6.99

What We Ate Saturday Leftover chipotle chicken on a salad. Sunday I made some panko-breaded fried chicken strips, which we ate with some fruit. pre-frying, obviously I purposely didn’t fry all of the chicken, with the plan to save some for frying the next night.

Monday I’d gotten a loaf of cinnamon bread out of the freezer on New Year’s Eve day, so I used some of that on Monday to make French toast, which we ate with whipped cream and berries. But I can tell you that the pasta is ALL gone now, so dinner will not include leftover pasta again. Friday I don’t know!

Monday A longggg lecture day for me, and I had leftover chicken. Peanut butter has protein, I don’t use a lot of honey, and I use either 100% whole wheat bread, or Dave’s Killer Bread. Sunday I pan-sauteed some chicken thighs, shredded them, and we ate the meat on buns, with barbecue sauce.

There’s a reason why menu planning is #1 on this list. When I plan a menu, my spending is generally under control. When I don’t plan, I make multiple trips to the store, eat out too often, and most certainly blow our budget. Designate one night a week as “raid the fridge’ night to get rid of leftovers.
