I picked up a sushi burrito for her to eat after work, and I got myself a bowl of ramen (with an extra soy egg, as usual, because soy-marinated eggs are SO GOOD.) Monday A friend treated me to tacos, and Zoe ate her leftover burrito. I wrote 18 things I love about Zoe (since she was turning 18) and stuck them all over her walls ?

I got a bowl of ramen (with an extra soy-marinated egg, thank you very much) and Zoe got a sushi burrito. She IS allergic to shellfish, but happily, the sushi burrito has only fish products in it, not shell fish. Tuesday We had too many leftovers in the fridge (happens in a jiffy with just two people!), so we worked on those.

Zoe had a burrito, I had a chimichanga. Sunday Lisey’s boyfriend’s mom made dinner for us: chicken plus rice and beans. And afterward we all got froyo together. Monday A rainy, rainy day! We went to a place at the Ala Moana mall called Señor Pepe’s. And later we got dessert at a place called Mango Mango.

Wednesday Zoe was at work, and I made myself an egg burrito (with cilantro, avocado, and queso fresco) I scrambled the eggs in a little bit of the fat I’d saved from cooking the chorizo, and that was super tasty. Thursday I had a free pizza in my Domino’s app so that’s what I picked up for dinner. ?

Monday We had burrito bowls with leftover meat from the one friend, and leftover beans and rice from the enchilada meal from another friend. ? A friend had brought me some marinated thin fajita meat, so I used that to make tacos, which we ate with applesauce and chips. The applesauce and chips are separate, please know.

Tuesday I don’t know what to call this…a scrambled egg burrito? The oven fries were very good, but the burger patty was made with Italian sausage and while I like sausage, a whole burger of it is a little much. I think the concept would be much better with a piece of chicken as the meat in the sandwich.

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. It’s a constant challenge to keep them fed! How to Save Money on Groceries.

I mentioned in my menu plan last week that I was planning to do some freezer cooking as well as a meal swap with friends. Burrito Beans – 2. I am so pleased with how well it went! For the freezer cooking, I just doubled the recipe for some of the dinners I was already making. Lasagna – 3.
