The ads came yesterday in the mail and Sprouts has some great produce deals that will accomodate some of the new recipes from Cooking Light! I am very excited to try a few. Some of them are really just my regular dishes made more interesting, so hopefully that will go over well with my family.
Here's my list of items that I am planning make next week:
Bacon and broccoli mac and cheese
Spaghetti and meatballs with salad
Pan seared flank steak, garlic mashed potatoes, and butter roasted carrots (weekend meal)
Make-at-home pizza and salad
Pork chops with mushroom gravy, spaetzle, and green beans
Chicken, broccoli, and rice bowl
I may pick up a frozen lasagna just so I can have one brainless night. I also still have the ingredients to make burritos or nachos. ;-)
The vegetables that go with these meals are actually all on sale at Sprouts: green beans and broccoli are 99 cents per pound, mushrooms are 99 cents per package, potatoes are 2 lbs for $1, and I can get a one pound bag of carrots for 99 cents this week. Sprouts also has cucumbers on sale 3 for $1 (remembering that you don't HAVE to buy three) and gala apples for 99 cents per pound. I will also check at Sprouts for the flank steak...they sometimes have ok deals on meat. I have actually done REALLY well this month on grocery spending, so I have a little bit of wiggle room. I can probably splurge a little for a steak dinner this weekend.
That just leaves a little bit more to get at Vons. I still need to check my Just4U savings and see what is on sale this week. I need to get a couple items for lunches (applesauce, yogurt) and then we will be set for next week!
I think that pizza night will be Friday - the kids were looking through the DVD's and saw Princess Bride and asked me about it...sounds like MOVIE NIGHT!
Good luck to you!
