Sorry for my absence last week. Our family reunion was really fun! How could it not be with a million people under one roof?
We ended up with WAY too much food, darn it all, and I was able to bring some back with me. I made Pizza Joes (like sloppy joes but with pizza stuff) the other night with some of it, using this recipe at Recipe Shoebox as a base. I added italian sausage, garlic, chopped olives, and parmesan to it as well.
- chicken pesto pizza on the grill
- beef fajitas
- thai chicken pasta
- shredded pork sandwiches on homemade buns with Greek Salad
- grilled marinated shrimp (I didn't get to this when it was on the menu before)
- pasta with homemade alfredo sauce and breadtwists
Need for the Menu:
- 1/4 c orange juice (or a few oranges)
- cilantro
- fresh fruits and veggies- Buy Low, here I come!
- Nothing else! I menu plan around what I already have in my cupboards, fridge, and freezer as much as I can so that I can afford to stock up on what is on sale for the week. This way my money goes WAY further.
UPDATE:
Sides/Extras: After looking at Buy Low's killer produce prices for the week, I thought I'd find some recipes to use these great deals.
- Oven Roasted Broccoli
- Garlic Sauteed Spinach (I've made this before- SO good!)
- Strawberry Limeade
- Pear Crisp
