Last week (Friday), after getting back in the swing of things in the kitchen, I combined Menu Monday and Food Friday. What is the difference? Monday I am supposed to plan the menu and grocery list and make sure everything should fit into my budget. Friday is the proof of what I REALLY did, including pictures, prices and changes I may have made.
This week's prepping includes: (This is a repeat of Food Friday this week, sorry!)
Peanut butter sandwiches. I did get a loaf of bread to make PB&J to put in the freezer for their lunches.
Trail mix. I am running low on chocolate chips and will add it to my Sam's club shopping cart online so as not to forget.
Hubby's oats. Need to add powdered milk to my list.
BAKING: I need to make buttermilk biscuits to freeze and pizza. Also need to make and bake a pie shell for my first strawberry pie.
