Menu with what's on sale for the week of Jan. 20-Jan. 26

Funny, but the rain stopped after my ark post of this morning. Now I heard it going again tonight although with not as much tempest and tossing as last night.

For this week I came up with:

$75.96

Breakfast
1-Egg biscuit, orange juice
2-Blueberry muffin, apple juice cocktail. See Blueberry muffin recipe at sidebar
3-Oatmeal, grapefruit
4-Egg-In-The-Hole, recipe at sidebar
5-Egg biscuit, grapefruit
6-French toast
7-Oatmeal, yogurt

Lunch
1-PB&J sandwich, apple
2-Pasta salad or Sesame peanut salad from the night before. Apple
3-Egg salad sandwich, cookie, pear
4-PB&J sandwich, cookie
5-Chicken wrap. orange
6-Tomato soup or chicken noodle soup
7-Leftover spaghetti

Dinner
1-Pasta salad or Sesame Peanut Noodles or salad, biscuit. Recipe for Sesame Peanut Noodles at sidebar or below this post.

2-Sweet pork tacos or salad.

3-Grilled cheese sandwich, chicken noodle soup

4-Two options: Either go light and have a grilled chicken breast or go with a ham stuffed chicken breast with a cream sauce of slightly thinned cream of chicken soup over top. Add a little slice of cheese in with the ham if you want. This is good with provolone but I didn't account for provolone in the total so use what you have. Make your own chicken flavored cream sauce by adding chicken broth as the liquid in a white or bechamel sauce. Either method is fine. Serve with a canned vegetable.

5-Leftovers

6-Spaghetti and red sauce, zucchini, herbed garlic butter on hamburger or hot dog buns, toasted

7-Chicken Pot Pie, green salad. See Pie crust recipe on sidebar. I did not put potatoes and carrots on the grocery list for this. You may have some leftover from last week, but I did allow for a bag of frozen vegs from Safeway at .99 if you want. I didn't allow for the pearl onions.

Review your recipes carefully so as to get exactly what you need at the stores.
I didn't add strawberries from Albertsons but though with a biscuit and some whipped cream it might make a tasty shortcake.

Pork Picnic roast, .99 lb. Now. I allowed for it to be a big one at 9 lbs. so that would be $8.91, but the truth of the matter is, that I don't know how big they're packaging them.
