This week’s shopping trip and $40 menu

by crystal on January 19, 2008

Because we had a little bit more time on Saturday, we hit more stores than normal: Aldi, CVS, Price Chopper, Hen House, and Wal-Mart. Our total was right around $39.80!


This week’s menu:

Breakfasts
Whole-wheat pancakes, freshly-made juice
Oatmeal, fresh juice
Cereal, carrot/orange/banana/flax seed smoothie
Baked oatmeal, fruit
Homemade cinnamon rolls, fruit

Lunches
Split peas, brown rice, carrots
PB&J, pears
Mixed green salad, hard boiled eggs, toast
Leftovers
Baked potatoes, broccoli, cheese

Dinners
Chicken broccoli rice casserole, homemade whole-wheat bread, salad, green beans, grapefruit
Chili, apple slices, homemade bread, cheese slices (We’re likely going to be having this twice this week since I made such a big pot of it! If so, we’ll serve it over rice with cheese sprinkled on top the second night!)
Meatloaf, mashed potatoes, green beans, biscuits, mixed green salad
Broccoli and cheddar crepes, homemade cinnamon rolls, fruit salad
Barbecue beef pizza, corn on the cob, grapefruit

Sounds yummy! I’m looking for a good homemade cinnamon roll recipe ~ any chance you might be willing to share?

I was just wondering: Could you share your recipe for whole wheat pancakes?
