Both last week and this week we were able to get away with very minimal grocery shopping which makes me very happy! The reason we were able to do this is a combination of cooking from the pantry and freezer, and using leftovers.
That said, we DID go to FatBurger last Tuesday...but other than that we ate quite well, even for Valentine's Day! We spent about $35 on fresh scallops, pasta and grapes from Pike Place Market on Saturday and Geoff grilled them up while I made fresh rolls! It was a delicious (and much cheaper than going out) meal together :)
Anyway, onto the menu planning:
Monday: Frozen shrimp skillet meal
Tuesday: Out with friends for a Mardi Gras potluck
Wednesday: Grilled chicken, rolls (hopefully leftovers), tomato and avocado salad
Thursday: Breakfast for dinner with bacon
Friday: BLT sandwiches and Progresso soup
Saturday: Night out! (I'm pushing for Outback)





I'm a 27 year old, newly married, newly living in Washington, librarian trying to find a job in a library. Meanwhile I'm working as a office assistant while I figure out how to live my new life as a wife.
Geoff, my wonderful, caring husband works with computers and, in his free time, plays with video games, lounges on the couch and cooks with sourdough.
Clarabelle and Hermione are our babies! Hermione, who came to Megg as a kitten, loves playing with fur mice and bottle caps. Clarabelle's hobbies include sleeping, lying in the sun and playing with straws. 
Geoff and Megg met through a mutual friend and spent 4 years dating long distance. They were finally able to live in the same zipcode after what seemed like forever when they got married on January 2, 2010! Soon after they bought a house and have been enjoying the Pacific Northwest together while being both newlyweds and new homeowners!
