Menu for the Week of September 7th, 2009

This week's shopping order came to $95.71. In addition to the meals listed below we stocked up on toilet paper, a few canned goods, and tea.

Meals for the week:

• Mu Shu Pork - Just like the Chinese version, except made for way less $ at home. Served with crispy Chinese noodles and duck sauce for dipping. Takes about 15 minutes to prepare. Recipe HERE.
  
• Eggplant Curry - Another meal cooked in about 20 minutes or so, this one contains lots of veggies, mango chutney, scallions, cilantro, and almonds. Served over basmati rice with samosas and Indian bread on the side. Recipe HERE.
  
• Chicken fajitas - These will be served with refried beans and corn. I have a few corn tortillas that need to be fried and eaten too, so we'll have those on the side. The main part of the dish has peppers, onions, chicken, cilantro, tomatoes, and scallions.
• Pizzas - Using the pizza shells I made last week, we'll make five custom-pizzas. Whatever you want on it - you get!
• Crescent dogs - We're babysitting this Saturday and thought something fun was in order. Hot dogs wrapped in crescent rolls with fries and a big salad will do!
• Steak - London broil was on sale last week so I bought two. This will be coated in seasoning and broiled for 6 minutes per side. Serving with baby asparagus and fries with parsley, garlic, and parmesan cheese. Tomato salad with beans too.

Six delicious meals and all our household needs for under $100.
