I'm not gonna lie; I feel a little silly writing ordinary blog posts in the midst of what's going on in Ukraine.
But like I said on Instagram last night, I have pretty limited power (ok, zero power) to fix problems of this magnitude.
I don't know what the future holds (Are we heading into another world war??), so I am defaulting to what I always do when I feel helpless:
Pray and then keep doing the next right things in my life: make meals, parent children, correct math lessons, do laundry, feed rescue cats, do my A&P homework, and so on.
(Which has kind of been my default mode since the pandemic started as well; I manage what's in my domain and I try to leave the rest in God's hands.)
Anyway. In light of that, here is the rundown of the food situation here this week.
What I Spent
I spent:
- $20 at Safeway
- $20 at Harris Teeter
What We Ate
Saturday
We were here and there and everywhere (I picked up my parents from the airport, Lisey and Zoe were out together doing some birthday shenanigans, etc.), so we all fended for ourselves.
Sunday
I made French bread, baked ziti, and a green salad.
Monday
We had enough leftovers from Sunday to make a repeat dinner on Monday. Easy-peasy!
Tuesday
On Tuesdays, Sonia and Zoe have a class that spans the normal dinner hours, so dinner is a little unusual those nights. We ate some soup from the freezer, but not all at the same time; I am not about eat my dinner at 8:30 pm!
Wednesday
Fish cakes (here's my recipe), baked sweet potatoes, and steamed broccoli.
Thursday
A mish-mash because Thursday is another class night for the girls...some of us ate leftover fish cakes, and some of us ate grilled cheese sandwiches. 🙂 Green salad on the side.
Friday
I'm going to try a new recipe for a Thai red curry chicken noodle soup. It's made with rice noodles, coconut milk, and red curry paste, so I am optimistic about how delicious it will be.
I am also happy that it will use up a half-package of rice noodles I have had in my cabinet forever!
What did you have for dinner this week?
