And so another week passes by. John and I discuss the menu for the week every Sunday and make a shopping list for Monday. Since we are not eating out at all or even buying take-out, our total food bills are pretty low. We try to use everything we buy and rarely have to throw anything out. When you plan ahead your budget is happy!

John chose the first dinners of the week and I came up with ideas for the rest of our dinners. We finish off on the weekend with Breakfast for Dinner and Saturday with our new theme Lunch/Leftovers for Dinner. The dinners this week are cozy, comfort favorites. I shall have to look for something new and exciting later in the month.
