What’s for supper at your house this week?
Last week we had Bibimbap, Chicken Wings, Shrimp and more.
Hello friends! I hope that you are doing well. It’s been quite cool here in Virginia. I love it. Everyone I know keeps wondering when its going to warm up and I’m just over here praying that it stays SPRING for another few weeks. Because you know Summer is coming and it will last until November. 😕
Here’s what we ate last week:
We are continuing with our Food Experiment each week with Hello Fresh. It’s going really well. I’ll post my thoughts on week two tomorrow.
Bibimbap two ways. We had ours with ground beef and Liv’s had fried tofu. We all LOVED this meal.
We have close friends who are from South Korea and when I told Yun that we had tried Bibimbap for supper earlier in the week, he showed up with his Mother in Laws for us to compare it to. It was very, very, VERY close. And Kim ran a Korean restaurant for decades. This is what I’m loving about Hello Fresh so far. We can try new things and expect to get an authentic experience of what the food is supposed to taste like. 
Oh Crunchy Curried Chickpea Bowls. The only fan in our house was Denton. I ate mine but I am going to call this one a fail. Hayden flat out wouldn’t eat his. Liv ate the rice and the chickpeas. So. I don’t know if it was the curry, or just the overall mixture of all of things that put everyone off. Denton loved the kale, the pickled cabbage and the rice. But he didn’t like the chickpeas. Nope. I won’t be making this one in the future.
Chicken wings with crudite and chips and ranch. Yum. One of our favorites. Denton informed me that we do not ever need to go out for wings ever again. He seriously loves these. Try the recipe and let me know what you think!
Totino’s pizza. Some days are hard. And those days you have frozen pizza. Even if you didn’t want it.
Soup beans with salmon, sauerkraut and weenies, with roasted asparagus and potatoes. My favorite day of the week, whichever day it falls on. Or every day if it were up to me.
Tuna sandwiches with pickles and chips. This is a weekly request from Denton.
Two types of shrimp with baked potatoes and my homemade cheap garlic bread with California blend veggies. Oh, and our sauce. Yum.

Groceries
This weeks grocery budget went to our local Walmart and Food Lion again. It never enters my mind when I’m in Food Lion to take a photo of what’s in my buggy.
It always dismays me when I see what I’ve spent when I just run in to get a specific item. I went in to Food Lion to get Dr. Pepper and pizza’s for the kids and came out spending $54.00. However Denton pointed out that I paid $10.24 for wings (which I think is a rip off) for all three of us. Which would have set us back around $80 if we had gone out for them. And he likes mine better, so. 😀 I can console myself that I actually saved us $70 by overspending at the grocery store. Do you have to justify things to yourself like I do?
Liv always has cauliflower wings which I have to hide from Denton. They are SO good, and no they do not taste like chicken. But they are delicious, lol.
