Week 22 - 2009

This has not been a normal week. For part of the week, I was at home and cooked meals there. But now I am back in Texas helping my parents as my dad recuperates from surgery and my mom from a fall.
I kept track of the groceries I bought but not of the meals I've cooked.

I bought some frozen food for Jeff and Jimmy to have while I am gone. They both know how to cook but after work, I am pretty sure they would just prefer to heat up something instead of cook a meal and then do the dishes too.

What I bought
Aldis
frozen chicken
3 cans each fruit cocktail, grapefruit and peaches
2 bags pretzels, brown sugar and vanilla
butter and margarine
3 bags spinach, grape and roma tomatoes, 3 bell peppers, 2 cucumbers and 3 pounds onions

Walmart
2 Neopolation ice cream used $1 coupons on each
5 frozen pizzas
2 Mexican dinners
4 pot pies
3 pounds hot sausage and 3 cans grands biscuits - made this into breakfast sandwiches
smoked turkey lunchmeat
1 loaf bread
12 jello used $1/3 coupons on these
2 drink mixes, case of bottle water, 24 pack sugar free sodas - we needed extra beverages for the car trips
2 jugs of juice - white grape and pink grapefruit


I've been cooking meals at my parents. I made a new banana bread recipe yesterday that I found on Elizabeth's blog. It has a cinnamon in it and it really makes a nice loaf of banana bread. I did add pecans to my batch.
