Being a single parent, in the SF Bay Area of a child who requires outside therapy, I'm on a budget!
One of the things that helps me save money is meal planning. I give myself a grocery budget, then I take stock of what is in my pantry, then create a menu, then shop for the things I don't have. It usually works.
Here is my weekly dinner menu for the week of June 5
Sunday
Sirloin roast with roasted potatoes and asparagus
Monday
Thai curry chicken, rice and peas
Tuesday
Homemade salmon cakes with homemade french fries
Wednesday
Green salad with tri tip beef
Thursday
Spanish style chicken and rice
Friday
Spaghetti with homemade sauce (I made the sauce last week; freezes nicely)
Saturday
Cajun salmon and spinach
I try to make things simple, tasty and quick (and gluten free)
Don't know if this is gluten free (or to your taste) - made a shepherd's pie (easy variation, that is) - my sons inhaled it. Easy, easy, easy - makes tons, very healthy, and cost little.
ReplyDeleteI love shepherd's pie! I'd love to see your recipe and yep, it's gluten free :o)
