Wow in just 1 week or 7 short days I turn 70! I can hardly believe this! So exciting to think of all the things I have seen and done, many super memories but some sad moments to remember also! I will be having a birthday dinner with my puzzle friends, followed by a birthday cake with my daughter Teen and her sons two days after my special day, as well as sharing cake with all my fellow housemates. The day of my birthday I will be sending prayers to Heaven to protect my middle child who is undergoing a serious surgery, and as I will be at home awaiting word it will be an anxious day.
So this looks like a really good month for saving food money! At this point it looks like a trip to the grocery store to buy fresh fruits and veggies and maybe milk and eggs as my only food expense for the month. I will take an item to share for my dinner (just a component for a tossed salad), and the rest of my month includes the following meal plan which is mostly 3 meals of each: lentil vegan meatloaf, taco soup with a ham and cheese sandwich, negative calorie soup with a sandwich, Homemade tomato soup with grilled cheese sandwich, stove top stuffing meatloaf, spaghetti, homemade baked macaroni and cheese, chicken with some form of carbohydrate side (potato, pasta, rice), tacos, and a single meal of chili with salad, shrimp scampi, shrimp Alfredo, and a crab meal. I will also have a St. Patrick day dinner with all my house mates, Easter dinner with Teen and boys, and 1 eating out night. So I have all the meats and staples needed and as I said a trip 2 or 3 times for fresh fruit and veggies and that should be it!
Today is my only day away from the boys until Sunday so working on getting the rest of window treatments hemmed, straightening apartment, and trying to get paperwork completed for my annual review. It will be busy but hopefully productive so I can do puzzles in the evening with my friends.
