First week: menu

We spent $69.58 at the grocery store, leaving us with $14.42 for the rest of the week. Alex happily pointed out that we could probably have pho or order a pizza if we wanted.

I wanted to share with you the meals we're having this week so that you know that we're still eating well, despite cutting spending. (Our bill included coffee and flavored syrup, so our food costs were even lower!)

Saturday night, Alex made some baguettes, and we had Spaghetti (with Italian sausage cooked into the sauce) and roasted garlic bread.

Sunday morning, we had French toast with leftover baguette.

For breakfast this week, we're having lemon blueberry muffins.

Our dinners this week include: a grilled ham and cheese sandwich with tomato soup (one of my favorite comfort meals), pasta with creamy pancetta and pea sauce, and stove-top macaroni and cheese with roasted tomatoes.

It's a pretty gluten heavy week, but we're celebrating since we can eat it again.
