Week of Feb 1

So its been awhile since I've done the full week with the grocery list and all. But now that my schedule has gotten a bit more predictable, I am going to do the real deal again for as long as I can.

So check this week out- Frozen Shrimp were on great Sale at TJ's so I picked a big frozen thing of those up and am going to make my meals around them. Im going out of town Thursday night, so I will have to skip cooking Thursday dinner and instead enjoy a meal with my wonderful sister in her college stomping grounds. Ill take 5 bucks off the total so as to reflect the missing meal.

I'm pretty excited about this weeks menu. I have been doing alot of chicken lately so I decided to go with more seafood this week. The corn salsa is going to serve a bunch of different purposes - to accompany the Salmon, an addition to the Fajita Salad and as a side for lunch. This stuff is great and I often make it at the beginnig of a week to have just in case I need something extra with a meal or as a quick snack.

Take the extra twenty bucks you saved this week and by yourself a beer. You deserve it.
