Home Cookin'

So in the hopes of eating in more and saving some extra $$ I planned out this past week's previous dinner menus. Sadly, I didn't accomplish this 100% as I had hoped. But not too shabby. Out of 7 days, we successfully ate in 5 of those days.


Sunday - Spaghetti. Pretty much a staple in our household and I cook this at least once a month.

Monday - Sweet & Sour meatballs. This was a recipe I had never prepared before. The sauce was tasty but the meatballs were meh. That was my fault. I cheated and used the frozen pre-cooked meatballs rather than making my own. Next time I'll have to go ahead and make them myself.

Tuesday - cheat day. :-( I picked up dinner on the way home.

Wednesday - Chicken w/ stuffing and mushrooms. This was also a new recipe I tried this week. The hubs seemed to like it so I'll have to make this again in the future.

Thursday - was a repeat of Wednesday. We had so many leftovers and the hubs didn't mind having it a second night.

Friday - cheat day again. Picked up dinner at Rubio's.

Saturday - Roasted Pork Loin w/Mushroom Risotto. The pork was tasty as was the mushroom risotto. But don't think I made the risotto from scratch. I cheated with a frozen package of the stuff from Trader Joe's.

This is this week's menu. Hopefully I'll manage to be successful this time around.
