Menu Monday

Parmesan my panino - Dake, "Used To"

Before I get into the menu plan for this week, I just have to stand up and publicly thank Drake for not saying 'panini' in this line. Panino is ONE sandwich, panini is MORE THAN ONE. This is one of my biggest pet peeves and also a callback to a hilarious story by David Sedaris, Me Talk Pretty One Day. You would never go to a shop and order "a sandwiches" would you? No. You wouldn't because you aren't horrible. 

Anywho! On to the food. Here's what we are eating this week: 




Breakfast
Cereal and milk
Yogurt parfaits
Eggs and potatoes
Avocado toast

Lunch
Cheese sandwiches and chips
Spinach salad
Roasted root vegetables and grain bowl
PB&J
Leftovers

Snacks

Cheese and crackers
Crudite
Fruit

Dinner
Egg noodles + broccoli + white beans 
Spaghetti + "meat"balls + garlic bread
Black bean tostadas + guacamole
Blueberry pancakes + fruit smoothies + yogurt
Nicoise salad + garlic bread
Asparagus risotto + salad
Homemade pizza + popcorn

I was $5 over budget this week because my 4 1/2 year old son was with me. It is very hard to concentrate and make adjustments on the fly when you are having your ear chatted off about dinosaurs and sharks. Also, gummy worms were on sale (?!) and I bought them for him. I am not made of stone! 

I am very much looking forward to the black bean tostadas tonight, they are everyone's favorite here. 

All of the recipes I'm using this week are AND some sweet free printables are all pinned on the Mind On Your Money Pinterest page, check it out!
