My new years resolution was to keep to my grocery budget of $700/month. I'm at $626, so I think I'm going to make it this month! I'll have to go out to get milk at some point this week and the pork for Wed night, but other than that I'm pretty set. I'm going to hold off on my big Costco trip until Friday (the 1st!). LOL.

I do my main grocery shopping every two weeks.  I will buy some veggies, milk, baby formula, some kid snacks and bread to fill in.  I shopped today and spent $140.  I will probably spend another $75ish in the next two week on the previously named items.  Total for 2 weeks for a family of 5 (including a 9-month-old) I aim for $240 and I should be under that this time. That amount does not include eating out for date nights but does include all breakfasts and lunches.
Tonight- Dinner at a friend's home.  We are bringing cookies.
Sun.-Swedish meatballs, mashed potatoes, gravy, salad, french bread
Mon.-Spinach salad with grilled chicken, toasted almonds, cranberries, and blush wine vinaigrette
Tues.-Butternut squash & sweet potato soup with homemade bread hugatreewithme.com/3/post/2012/12/recipe-winter-butternut-squash-and-sweet-potato-soup.html
Wed.-Steak, chicken, and veggie (zuchinni, bell pepper, onion, mushroom, tomato) fajitas with brown rice and black beans
Thur.-Beef stroganoff with mushrooms in the crockpot over egg noodles with roasted asparagus. The stroganoff recipe is a new one for me so we will see how it goes. It looks simple and tasty.  www.recipegirl.com/2007/01/12/beef-stroganoff/
Fri.- Date night. I am leaning towards chinese food.
Sat.-Leftovers

Next week-
Sun.-Dinner at the in-laws.  I will be bringing a chocolate trifle for dessert.

(making an effort to lurk less and post more

I'm making pretty much everything for the week tomorrow. I just started working again, and we are REALLY struggling to find our groove in the hour between when I get home and when DD goes to bed. I'm hoping doing everything ahead of time will help, since DH gets home an hour before us and can throw stuff in the oven.

Sun: we do dinner with our neighbors every Sunday; it's not our turn to cook. Yay!
Mon: garlic & ginger marinated sirloins, wasabi mashed potatoes, sugar snap peas
Tues: chicken cordon bleu casserole, salad
Wed: sausage & spinach stuffed shells, salad, marinated cucumbers
Thurs: beef enchiladas, mexican rice, corn
Fri: garlic & chive chicken packets, potato wedges, fruit
Sat: no idea. Maybe take out?
