The end of a first complete week - so far so good. As a side, I have very little grocery money but I have plenty of food. I am having to use some of it for parking money at school - which going to school also uses a lot of gas - but hopefully I will start doing public transit soon.
Breakfast: Oatmeal which dad made for the kids. I will have leftover onions. Of course, I also have Roma and cream.
Lunch: Kids have PBJ's and fruits or veggies. Phyllis doesn't love mandarins, so she has carrots and celery. All have pickles (Phyllis didn't eat hers yesterday) and the two have mandarins. Cress also has dried mango but it isn't the Philippine variety so not sweetened. We shall see what she thinks.
Dinner: Spaghetti and butternut squash. The squash was from several weeks ago - we got two from the CSA. Jason picked up another apparently at work today - so that was nice. I made only one pound of noodles and we had leftovers - the girls really liked squash. I dressed up the remnant of the Ragu sauce I got from Tess when she moved. I rationed that big old jar she gave me out over three meals. Tonight I added mushrooms, garlic, herbs and a can of stewed tomatoes that I pureed.
I also made a mushroom soup today which I had as a snack and Jason had a bowl with after his spaghetti and squash. Elise had pinned the recipe. I re-pinned and made it - it was a bit thin but could be thickened easily enough and would be much healthier than cream of mushroom condensed soup in a can.
I also made a gelatin dessert that is dissolved in milk - likely dessert tomorrow as it has to set up.
Phyllis made cookies today pretty much by herself. First time for that. I used fresh ground flour which we have done before but this was different. I think maybe I didn't have the grind fine enough.
Heather and I went to Costco. I am essentially out of grocery money - especially if I have to keep buying a parking pass the rest of this week. But, Heather owed me $8. So she bought me a gallon of milk (we split a Costco two pack basically) and we split a Costco salsa two-pack.
I also realized that when Nila was here, she had bought the stuff to make a gluten free macaroni and cheese type meal. She never made it so I have the ingredients. I got the recipe today and shall try it tomorrow. I hate to see food go to waste (and nuts can go bad, especially I would guess raw nuts) and even more so when I didn't have to pay for it. Not sure Jason will love it, but, that's life, I guess. Most of my food he does. I made him more beans, but he won't need new beans for a couple days.
