MEAL PLAN week one -Challenge-


I have a new challenge this week.  NO grocery shopping (with a $10 exception for milk etc).  It's time to clean out the fridge!!  Sometimes the refrigerator/freezer gets so full of this and that, a lot of it goes to waste because you don't know what you have.  My goal today is to figure out what needs to be eaten and design a meal plan around that.  Ill post what I come up with.

If you want to join in the challenge, leave a comment and let me know what your doing/making!

great plan! tonight i'm making calzones using cottage cheese instead of ricotta. i know lynn would roll over in his grave if he were dead - so don't tell. i'm just too cheap and practical to care. plus i have it in the fridge - it was only a buck last week - seemed like a steal. oh, and instead of using spinach i'm using broccoli - leftover from my bountiful basket from a couple weeks ago.
Nice!! Can you share your calzone recipe? ALSO I need your BBQ Pork & Rosemary potato recipe. We had it today and it was amazing!! AMAZING!

My week's menu looks like this, and it's all done with no shopping:
Sunday: Roast, root veggies, salad
Monday: Chorizo/Beef Taco's, Cucumbers and chips/salsa
Tuesday: Chicken w/rice and veggies
Wednesday: Chile Verde/Tortilla salad
Thursday: Meatball/Pasta Bake w/Veggie and Salad
Friday: Freezer Pizza, homemade breadsticks, salad
Saturday:Leftovers
Sunday: Smoked Turkey and Veggies

I'll check out my freezer and pantry again to see if I can keep going. My goal for March is to just buy Milk/Eggs/Fresh Produce and I'll try to keep it under $50 for the month! Wish Me Luck!
Wow! I want all of those recipes..lol Let me know if you make it on only $50, that is so impressive!!

GIVEAWAY: ERGObaby Carrier! -CLOSED-

Winner I have carried my little boy in a baby carrier since he was born. I love the convenience of strapping him in and not worrying about the hassle of a bulky stroller. It's also a comfort to hold my little guy close and safe. When I had the chance to review the ERGObaby carrier, I was thrilled to try something that could extend my baby wearing days. My first test was a true one...Costco. I admit that I didn't really look at the directions when I put the carrier on in the parking lot. But I didn't need to! After one look at a picture in the user manual, I strapped my 20 pound boy in, placed my little girl in the shopping cart, and started on my way through the aisles of Costco. I immediately noticed that the carrier more evenly distributed my son's weight than my normal carrier and held my boy high so my legs weren't bumping into his. This made it significantly easier to tote him around the store. Indeed my normal trips to Costco are exhausting. But
