The Supper Challenge Recap and Link-up
June 22, 2009 > 1 Comment
Wow, what a crazy week. I feel as if I was in a daze through most of it. A couple of days I didn’t feel well then the other days was full of different activities. Because of that supper this week was not everything I had planned, but I don’t believe anyone went hungry. I was also challenged this week by a small grocery budget. By eating leftovers, smoothies and eating out of the pantry/freezer I was able to stay within my budget.
Here’s what we ended up having this week for supper:
Monday – This was our day off, so I tried to keep the meals simple and easy. We had smoothies and Hot Pockets.
Tuesday – Mordecai’s Chicken is an easy 5 ingredient meal that I almost always have the ingredients on hand for. The only ingredient I needed for this meal was the dressing packets and a loaf of french bread. This is a family favorite so it will for sure go on my monthly menu plan.
Wednesday – Another meal that is a keeper is Amy’s Finer Things Desperation Dinner. It was SO good and SO easy! My husband was skeptical at first, but after the first bite he was sold!
Thursday / Friday – Black Bean and Ham Soup was a twist on a dish we often have. My family loves beans and a pot of beans with cornbread is a common meal around here. I loved the combination of spices and ham adds so much flavor. The soup also made enough for lunch and supper Friday night and because we were eating frugally this week I took advantage of this.
Saturday / Sunday – Our former church had a Father’s Day cook-out and we enjoyed grilled burgers and hot dogs with all the fixings. They sent us home with plenty of leftovers which provided enough food for us to stretch through to supper Sunday.
We’d love for you to join us by sharing your favorite supper recipes. Please link up your supper ideas or recipes below. Your recipes will help Joy and I compile a master menu plan at the end of June. We’re hoping to simplify our meal planning by having a month’s worth of meals to pull from each week.
Perhaps you participated with us in any of our meal-time challenges, please link up and share!
If you’d still like to join us in our other challenges the linkies are still open. You can find the linky for The Breakfast Challenge here and The Lunch Challenge here.
