Monday: Leftover tuna salad. Private Selection eggs at Kroger were cheaper than store brand eggs (when you buy 4). Eggs last so long in the fridge, I’m tempted to go back for more. Starkist Tuna is $.50/ea at Randalls, so I made a big batch of tuna salad.

Tuesday: Chipotle chicken mac and cheese pasta. I watched Sunny Anderson make this and I was in love. Instead of four cups of heavy cream, though, I’ll be using two cans of evaporated milk, and 8 oz of heavy cream for both calorie and cash savings.

Wednesday: Sloppy Joes and tater tots. I picked up some Manwich at Randalls. What can I say? It’s comfort food and it’s cheap. 😉

Thursday: Breakfast for dinner. Sometimes this is a quick egg scramble, sometimes, it’s pancakes and bacon. Just depends on what kind of mood I’m in.

Friday: Pizza night.

Saturday: Fend for yourself.

Sunday: Green chile chicken enchiladas.

Last month, it wasn’t just the first day of school for my kids. I returned to school as well, in the hopes of finishing my bachelor’s degree. I have put off returning to school because there always seemed to be one thing or another going on that demanded my attention. But now, all of my kids are in school full time, things at the school seem to be under control, and my job is super accommodating.

So back to school I go. Once a week, I am on campus at UHD, so it’s not too bad. My other classes are online only. This means I am even MORE busy, so I am taking down the coupon classes request form.

Monday: I picked up pork loin chops from H-E-B for $1.97/lb and they’ll either be oven fried or pan fried. Serving these with mashed potatoes and a green salad. Thanks to all of the Sprouts sales, we are all stocked up on lettuce.  I received a trial box from Blue Apron and the only thing that was a hit was these pork chops.  🙂

Tuesday: Crockpot chicken and rice.

Wednesday: Leftover night.

Thursday: Hamburgers and french fries.

Friday: Pizza night.

Saturday: Fend for yourself.

Sunday: Dinner out.

Monday: Garlic shrimp, orzo with Parmesan and parsley, and green salad. This is fast and easy. Save on shrimp by peeling and deveining them yourself.

Tuesday: Taco Tuesday, served with yellow rice and refried beans.

Wednesday: Salsa chicken in the crock pot, served with pepper jack macaroni and cheese.

Thursday: Leftover night.

Friday: Pizza.

Saturday: Fend for yourself.

Sunday: Grilling night.

School, school, back to school. My two Js start back to school on Tuesday. I want to make meals that are ready quick, easy to turn into lunches, and being budget friendly would be a bonus, too.

Not that I’m asking a lot, or anything.

Here’s what I have in mind this week.

Monday: Chicken broccoli pasta with smoked mozzarella and sun dried tomatoes. Sounds super fancy, but that title is pretty much the whole ingredients list. I always make a ton and it’s fabulous the next day as well.

Tuesday: The first day of school, so we’re having leftovers or something else easy because I know my hand is going to be cramping from filling out the same information. Twice. Even though both my kids are returning to the same school.

Wednesday: Pulled pork in the crockpot. I will cook this low and slow on Tuesday so that it will be ready. Served on Hawaiian rolls with french fries and pickles on the side.

Thursday: Taco Thursday.

Friday: Pizza night!

Saturday: Fend for yourself.

Sunday: Dinner out.

It’s the week before school starts, which means it’s time to get back into that routine. And that includes both the kids and me. This week’s dinners will feature a lot of pantry items, along with some quick fix stuff. It’s hot and I’m cheap. 😉 Maybe next week they’ll be a little bit more healthy.

Monday: Quesadillas made with leftover fajita meat.

Tuesday: Freezer night.

Wednesday: Coney Island hot dogs and tater tots.

Thursday: Green chile mac and cheese and rotisserie chicken. Hatch peppers are at their peak, so a quick stovetop mac and cheese will be great.

Friday: Pizza night!

Saturday: Fend for yourself.

Sunday: Grilling day!
