- Breakfasts - Oatmeal and mixed berries
- Lunch - Almond butter & honey sandwiches with apples, carrots, or grapes
- Dinner - More meatless meals, only 2 dinners this week will have meat
- Snacks - Grapes, apples, carrots, graham crackers
- New stuff we are trying - Quinoa
Total this week $112. I'm pretty sure the price went up because we added a lot more fresh vegetables into the meal plan, but we are still under budget so it's okay.
Successes last week:
- Ginger Citrus Shrimp
- This was super easy and full of flavor
- Reduce orange juice in a pot with freshly chopped ginger and minced garlic until it has a syrup consistency
- Pour enough olive oil over the shrimp to coat, season with salt and pepper
- In a hot pan, pour in the shrimp and orange juice ginger mixture and cook until the shrimp is pink (pay close attention, overcooked shrimp is like eating a bouncy ball)
- I served this over spring greens
- Almond Butter
- Easy and much cheaper to make than buying it in the store
- Strawberry Lime Bars
- Who doesn't like an easy version of cheesecake with a graham cracker crust, strawberry and lime flavored filling? No one in this house!
