Last week actually went pretty well in terms of getting dinner on the table.  We had my son's favorite dinner on Monday although we tried the McCain smiles I bought instead of making french fries because I wasn't home long enough to make them.  We had spaghetti and meatballs on Tuesday and I ate my meatballs as a sandwich next to a side of pasta.  I used the rest of the chicken from the fridge to make an Asian chicken stir fry over rice on Wednesday and cut up the remaining chicken to freeze for . On Thursday, we had Salsa Sloppy Joes and mac and cheese.  Friday brought homemade pizza night where we all made some of the pizza.  I used my free pizza crusts with a little corn meal put on the bottom, leftover sauce from the meatballs, some pepperoni, leftover sausage, a little seasoning, and a block of shredded mozzerella cheese with Parmesan cheese.  The cost of making our two pizzas was around $1 each.  Saturday we had a soccer game and come home to make family leftover night and we were going to watch a movie but my son got really into a book on CD and we listened to that instead.  Sunday we had the simple fried rice with egg rolls for lunch instead of dinner and then there was a quick and easy dinner before I had to go to work.

This week we are going with a similar plan and hope to have a similar week this week with hopefully a little more free time. I moved a few things around because I got some clearance pork chops for $0.99 so that is a no brainer!!  I haven't decided how I am going to make them but we are looking forward to eating them.  We are looking forward to a good week and counting down until the end of the school year and pool opening!!
