04.26.21 ~ What’s for supper at your house this week?
Hello friends! Spring has sprung here in our neck of the woods. We should only have one more cold spell in May for Blackberry winter and then the heat will be on if everything goes the way it normally does here in Virginia. I’ll take just a little more spring please.
Here’s what we ate last week:
I made pecan and panko pork chops with roasted red potatoes, green beans, stuffing and crescent rolls. I thought it was good, but Denton and Hayden weren’t particular fans of the pecans on pork, hahaha.
Chicken sandwiches with pickles and chips on the side. Always an easy, simple supper. But I do need to start making my own chicken for the sandwiches. But that negates the easy part, right?
Two kinds of shrimp with baked potatoes, broccoli salad and buttered bread. Yum.
Soup beans, with a terrible box of Mac and cheese, salmon, kraut and weenies, and the best homemade cornbread I’ve ever made. I’ll try to remember to take pictures and post the recipe next week. It was so good. I also made a new kind of roasted potatoes. They were delicious, but I prefer just fried potatoes or normal roasted potatoes with my soup beans. These would be great as a side with chicken or pork, so I’ll make the recipe and post it soon too.
Denton requested tuna sandwiches again, which I am always happy to oblige him with.
I also made another dump cake last week. I’ll post the recipe tomorrow. It is so easy and delicious, I know you’ll love it.

Groceries
This weeks grocery budget went to our local Food Lion. I spent $82.00 exactly which will never happen again in my lifetime. I have one more grocery haul to make in April before I see what our total will be for the month. You can see what we’ve spent in April so far down below. We will have five weeks of grocery shopping in this month though, since I switched up my shopping day.
Are Saturday’s as insane in your town as they are in mine now? Liv and I used to do our grocery shopping for the week on Saturday mornings. We decided to pick a different day because our local stores were being swarmed and I wanted to hurt people. We tried a Sunday, a Tuesday, but I always go into my office on Wednesdays, so I just decided to tick that off my to do list then. I am surprised at how many people are out and about on a Wednesday afternoon too. I hate grocery shopping, and when I have to dodge and weave to get it done does not make me a happy person. Sigh.
