(I'm really wishing for green grass right now!)This winter has been very hard weatherwise, but Matt and I have had so much to keep us busy that it is going by fast. And, sometimes when it goes by too fast we end up eating out more than we should and we can tell by our empty wallets and bulging tummies. So, I have decided to start planning our meals and I will know exactly what to get at the store and hopefully, not overspend. Here is our list of upcoming meals:
Jan. 26 Leftover Chili/Cinnamon Rolls
Jan. 27 Goulash/Green Beans/Leftover Corn Bread (make ahead meal)
Jan. 28 Soup and Sandwiches
Jan. 29 Homemade Pizza/Chips/Fruit
Jan. 30 Dinner out (Date night)
Jan. 31 Baked Honey Chicken/Stuffing (marinate chicken the day before)
Feb. 1 Pork Chops w/Sauerkraut in Crockpot/Fruit
Feb. 2 Spaghetti w/Sausage/Garlic Bread
Feb. 3 Leftovers
Feb. 4 Matt's Birthday (His mom is making homemade lasagna)
Feb. 5 Birthday celebration with my family (TBA)
Feb. 6 Rockestra (Betsy here/Dinner out)
Feb. 7 Matt's Superbowl Birthday Party with the guys (I am making chili, cheese dip, chips/crackers and David is bringing homemade amaretto cheesecake) (make ahead meal)
Feb. 8 Leftovers
Feb. 9 Meatloaf/Mashed Potatoes/Vegetable (make ahead meal)
Feb. 10 Chicken Spaghetti/Garlic Bread (make ahead meal)
Feb. 11-12 I am in Des Moines so Matt is on his own w/leftovers
Feb. 13 Chicken Tacos
Feb. 14 Valentines Day! Steak w/salad and potatoes
Feb. 15-16 I am in Des Moines AGAIN, so Matt is on his own
I have also decided I am giving up shopping for the month of February. This will be very hard when we are in Des Moines, but really I don't need anything and I would rather save money for a trip this spring. Matt does not think I can make it a month, but I am determined to show him I will do it!
