organized.

I am still menu planning, and have just come out of a month of 'simple' living with much success. I nearly met my seemingly ridiculous goal of our lowest ever spending on food and necessities (aside from a dentist appointment and an unanticipated car maintenance bill). Hooray for living within our means!

This week's meal plan is:

Monday - Enchiladas (refried beans, rice, beef, taco seasoning, black beans, cheese in wraps and topped with enchilada sauce - original recipe calls for a mix of 1 can cream of chicken soup + 2 cups salsa as topping)

Tuesday - Chicken parmigiana

Wednesday - Slow cooker stew beef/gravy thing on mashed potatoes

Thursday - Butter chickpea curry and roti

Friday - Mini meatloaves & pasta

Saturday - BBQ chicken pizza

There have been many months of crazy food restrictions in our house as my little lady has had quite the sensitive tummy. My many attempts to hone in on what it was that bothered her were often futile - though I am happy to report that she seems to be turning a corner in a big way. The plus side of all the simplified eating is that I have become more confident in the kitchen than ever before. The ability to refine recipes to suit my needs is something less daunting, and is much more enjoyable. As such, there will likely be less recipes attached to meals. Let me know if you're looking for specifics :)
