Eatin’ on the cheap: A complete menu
My menu for the next two weeks is as follows:
Breakfasts: (7 different ones, x2)
All breakfasts will be served with yogurt and fruit smoothies.
Buttermilk pancakes (nourishing traditions style)
French toast
Bagels w/ strawberry cream cheese (both homemade)
malt-o-meal (or other farina type cereal) w/honey, brown sugar, cinnamon, and a dash of maple syrup!
Sourdough waffles
homemade granola bars
scrambled eggs and toast
Lunches: (again, 7 of them x2)
All lunches will be served with banana, apple and/or oranges. 
Chicken salad sandwiches w/homemade mayo
homemade mac n cheese
bean burritos
homemade pizza
chicken tacos/tostadas
soup and sandwiches (I’ll take requests on the sandwiches, and the soup will probably be potato)
chicken fiesta salad with chips (minus the jalapeno)
Dinner:
Deviled eggs made w/fresh mayo and crackers. Organic green salad w/homemade balsamic dressing-tonights dinner.
Chile Rellenos (this was actually last night) with brown rice. A friend came over w/the ingredients and taught me how to make them, so technically, this was free for us!
Other meals on our menu this week:
Turkey patties, bread, salad, brown rice
Sandwiches: Grilled cheese and chicken, served with cold couscous salad
Pasta w/pesto sauce, salad
refried beans, rice, homemade tortillas, and avocado slices
beans and scrambled eggs with homemade corn tortillas, fresh salsa
Hummus, whole wheat sesame crackers, balsamic salad, couscous (we’ll probably do this one 2 or 3 times)
Turkey dinner! I have a turkey in the freezer that I should thaw and cook. I’ll serve it with typical holiday fixin’s. This will likely be a Sunday meal.
Turkey salad sandwiches w/basil mayo and chocolate smoothies made with agave nectar. Mmmm…
Cornish game hens from the deep freeze with yogurt sauce, salad, and flat bread (homemade)
Ground turkey albondigas w/tortillas and beans
This will feed us for roughly two weeks (figuring we’ll have leftovers a couple times), and including breakfasts and lunches (which are very similar to last week’s), I spent just over 75.00 for groceries for the entire two week menu. I had most of the meat in the freezer, and really wanted to use up what we had hangin’ around the pantry and in the fridge.
I’m gonna try to get some pics of the meals up this week..
