happy monday! my goal for the menu this week was to shop my pantry first and then make a trip to the store. when arriving at the grocery store i wanted to spend less than 20 minutes and less than $20. i am happy to report that i made it...$14.68 in less than nine minutes. i did all my shopping at trader joe's this week, as i knew they had a lot of the produce i needed and i could get in and out a lot faster than at hy-vee.
sunday: super bowl snack mania -- i made a veggie tray with celery, carrots, olives, dill pickles and a green pepper and spinach dip.
monday: skinny macaroni and cheese soup with broccoli along with garlic crescent rolls -- found this on pinterest. i am pretty sure the crescent rolls canceled out any healthy aspect of the soup but it was a delicious addition.
tuesday: black bean and corn quesadillas with homemade gauc -- giving the slow cooker a rest this week. this is perfect quick meal and i was able to utilize a ton of ingredients i already had.
wednesday: bistro montage -- we are headed to west side story at the civic center and have a groupon to use for bistro. sounds like a fun night out to me.
thursday: sriracha chicken strips, cilantro lime rice and fresh broccoli -- another pinterest find. can't wait to try these out, i'm really hoping they have some heat.
friday: dinner out location tba
saturday: salsa verde pizza with goat cheese and bacon -- repeat recipe alert -- i was very thankful to already have goat cheese and bacon already in my fridge as those aren't the cheapest things to buy.
Wow - speedy, economical, AND a great cook. You are a triple threat :)
