So, last week was my Spring Break, I had five whole days off of school! I told myself I was going to get SO much stuff done, and I made a checklist to make sure I remembered to do everything I wanted to. Well, it's Monday and I am wondering where those five days went. I still worked, so I didn't actually have the week completely off but it still flew by too fast and I don't feel like I was nearly productive enough. Is it just me, or does that happen to you guys too? Anyway, after work today I decided to stop by Sunflower Market because I wanted to get some lettuce and spinach, and their produce is the best. Turns out they are having a sale on Strawberries! I love this time of year! They are about 1.25/lb. I got five pounds because they just looked and smelled phenomenal. I also picked up a bunch of other produce, and some oats and eggs.
I paid $15.17 for ALL of this:
5 lbs. strawberries
6 bananas
2 plantains
2 avocados
Romaine lettuce
Fresh spinach
1 lb. quick oats
Dozen eggs
This leaves me about five more dollars for groceries this week which is just enough for some frozen chicken (a staple in this home.) I am so excited for how good we'll be eating this week! Here is my tentative meal plan:
Monday: Strawberry crepes, perhaps? I have to partake of this delicious fruit ASAP.
Tuesday: I was already planning on trying the biscuit recipe Jessica shared a few days ago, and making some home-made white gravy to go with it. Any other suggestions to go along?
Wednesday: Plantains, guacamole & fajitas.
Thursday: Pizza night
Friday: Date night
Saturday: BBQ Chicken Salad
Some of my tentative plans also include freezing some strawberries and bananas for later use in smoothies and other concoctions.
When I see the spinach and strawberries next to each other my mouth immediately craves a Strawberry Spinach salad w/ lemon dressing! You can check out the recipe here: http://pamscooking.blogspot.com/2009/02/strawberry-spinach-salad.html!
ReplyDeleteAll that produce looks beyond yummy!
Oh I love spinach strawberry salads! Thanks for the link. I can't wait to try it!
ReplyDeleteThose strawberries look divine! I wish that they had that sale here! And by the way I never get done all that I want to in a day, and on the rare occasion that I do, I am completely exhausted the next day! haha.
