It was another weird week of very little cooking! 

I spent:

• $24 at Safeway
• $30 on a Hungry Harvest box
• $16 at Royal Farms
• $24 on fast food

So, $94 which is not too shabby for a kitchen-mostly-closed week.

And I DID cook all my breakfasts and pack all of my work lunches, so there's that. 

What We Ate

Saturday

This was the only time in an eight-day stretch around Christmas where Zoe and I were both off of work.

So we did a little bit of belated Christmas stuff, like exchanging presents and eating cinnamon rolls.

And then in the evening, we went to see the Wicked movie and picked up fast food on the way.

Sunday

One of my cousins was doing photography at a wedding and needed help with one of her kiddos, so she asked if I could come and help.

They had Mission BBQ at the wedding, so that's what I ate for dinner. 

Monday

I know I went to work this day, but I have absolutely no record of what we ate for dinner.

OHHHH. Wait, I remember! I ate my work lunch crazy crazy crazy late this day, and I wasn't even hungry for dinner when I got home. I think I ate a few snacks and then went to bed. 

Tuesday

I made blueberry pancakes for myself after work. 

Wednesday

It was New Year's Eve, yes, but it was my last of many shifts, so I was TIRED. I went home, cooked up the rest of the pancake batter, showered, and went to bed. 

Thursday

I had a pretty productive first day off, but my productivity was not of the kitchen variety. Ha.

So, I spent $16 on chicken and waffle sandwiches from Royal Farms for Zoe and me. 🙂 

Friday

Today I am hoping to organize my fridge and get my kitchen life in order! Sooo, perhaps I will actually cook a meal tonight. 🙂

And I still have to shower!

Sooo, I'm gonna speed run this post. Let's go!

What I Spent

I spent:

• $77 at Aldi
• $15 at Safeway

What We Ate 

Saturday

I came home from work with no dinner plan, but my sweet neighbors stopped by with a candy cane shaped sausage roll! So that plus a salad was dinner. 

Sunday

We had been to the symphony after a late lunch, and I wasn't hungry at dinnertime. I think I just ate some fruit and called it good. 

Monday

Umm...blueberry pancakes. 🙂

Tuesday

I had squash soup, plus some fresh whole wheat rolls, plus a green salad.

Wednesday

A repeat of Tuesday night!

Thursday

My first Christmas Day as a nurse! I borrowed some large earrings from Zoe. 🙂 

I ate some kale salad and rotisserie chicken when I got home from work. And also some cheddar popcorn, because why not? 

Friday

I'm working again today, so it'll be something easy and quick! But I'm OFF tomorrow. 🙂

I wasn't in the kitchen much this week because I was busy catching up on social plans!

This week, I spent:

• $20 with Zoe on subs
• $20 on Wednesday with a friend 
• $20 on Thursday with a friend
• $19 at Trader Joe's 

So, $79. 

What We Ate 

Saturday

Sautéed tilapia, green beans, and mashed potatoes. 

Sunday

I made pulled chicken sandwiches with green beans on the side.

And then I packed some leftover mashed potatoes, chicken, and beans for my Monday work lunch. 

Monday

It was late when I got home from work, and Zoe had already eaten, so I exercised my adult privileges and just ate Raisin Bran for dinner. 😉 

Tuesday

Zoe and I went out to get a Christmas tree, and we stopped to get subs on the way because it happened to be dinnertime. 

Wednesday

I grabbed dinner with a friend I hadn't seen in months, and I got a $20 chicken, waffle, smoked gouda, and hot honey sandwich, with sweet potato fries on the side.

Thursday

Some friends invited me out to dinner with them, and I had a green salad with chicken. 

Friday

I work 12-hour shifts today and tomorrow, so you know, I may have another Raisin Bran night.
