So, we had no leftovers and we decided to do a lunch out on Saturday, so Friday, I stopped at HMart and got some beautiful fresh caught Yellowtail for under $4/lb filleted (it was under $2/lb for the whole fish, but I had them break it down b/c I didn't have time). I made Baked Yellowtail with a Herb and Pomelo Zested Butter - it was yummy. I also roasted asparagus and had strawberries with dinner...and then made a pomelo and lemon bar dessert. It was all fantastic. So, I moved Friday to Saturday and we had the pizzas yesterday with a homemade broccoli cheese soup (broccoli has not made it above $1/lb for a month, so we've been eating a LOT of it...I told the kids we may have to be ready to take a broccoli break whenever it goes back in price, which it didn't this week...and now for this week)...
Sun - Rotisserie Chicken (got a deal for $4/chickens, so chicken it is), Croissants (another deal), Strawberries and Red Grapes
Mon - Savory Turkey Tenderloin (preset flavor - was 1/2 off, which is my "buy" price), Mashed Potatoes, Homemade Cranberry Sauce, Double Blueberry Muffins
Tues - Nachos with Taco Beef, Shredded Cheese, Diced Avocado, Green Leaf Lettuce, Mild Fresh Pico De Gallo with Clementines and Strawberries
Wed - Teriyaki Pork Tenderloins (another 1/2 off deal), Egg Fried Rice, Stir Fried Broccoli
Thurs - Meatloaf, Mashed Potatoes, Sauteed Spinach, Last of the Berries
Fri - Chinese Dumplings and Korean Steamed Buns with a quick-version of a jarred Tom Yum soup and Fruit Smoothies
Sat - ?? - Leftovers or "$5 Grocery Deal day" (we are eating out Sunday, which is not our norm, but a few kids are eating at Church Saturday, so this is gonna be thrown together for the rest of the fam)...
So, stuck to the plan for the most part, but swapped in Cheesesteaks and Fries for the Meatloaf and Mashed Potatoes on Thursday (still did the rest of dinner)...and swapped in a 2nd pork tenderloin for Friday, b/c it was so popular Wednesday - made that with Thursday's planned mashed potatoes, with a "leftovers of the week" white bean side (added last of spinach, last of guacamole, some garlic, white wine vinegar, hot sauce, and s&p)...
So, now for the new plans - I'll include today b/c I have a plan...thank you to Hmart for more amazing produce deals (99 cents strawberries - so, I may have picked up 4 containers - and they still haven't made broccoli cost more than $1
...and for the next 7 weeks, there will always be a meat-free meal for Lent (and 2 this week), so it will be a little more work planning
