What’s for supper at your house this week?  

We had Chicken and Dumplings, Gnocchi with Spinach and more.

Hello friends!  I hope that you are doing well.  We had a lovely week of Spring weather and yummy food.

Here’s what we ate last week:

Gnocchi with Spinach

We started our week off with what I’m calling my Food Experiments.  This meal was Gnocchi with Spinach & Heirloom tomatoes topped with Garlic Butter Breadcrumbs.  I LOVED this one.  It reminded me slightly of the Chicken and Gnocchi soup from Olive Garden.  I will definitely make this again.  My experiment is working!

Soup beans with salmon

Soup beans with salmon, roasted potatoes and onions.  My favorite meal of the week.  Every week.

Hamburgers with chips, pickles and raw onions.  Another favorite and a go to meal when I need something easy and fast.Potato Soup with bacon

Potato soup with bacon.  This time I served this with Everything Croissants from Walmart.  Have you tried them?  They were good, but this meal is ALWAYS better with my homemade biscuits.  I was just too lazy to make them and regretted it.

Chicken patties on buns, with pickles and chips.  

On Saturday I spent a couple of hours on the phone with Amazon trying to fix a problem I had with a pair of headphones I bought in December.  After that headache, I didn’t want to cook.  Dominos to the rescue.  Denton said he didn’t even realize that we had a Domino’s in our town, lol.  Chicken and Dumplings

On Sunday I made my version of Chicken and Dumplings.  Which I promptly forgot to post to my Instagram page.  I made some Cornbread salad to go along side with a side of cornbread.  Do you think I have enough carbs here?  I thought it was delicious!

Groceries

This weeks grocery budget went to our local Wal-Mart and Food Lion.  I needed to run into Food Lion to grab Coke’s and Doritos and while I was there I found hamburgers on clearance.  That’s the danger for me.  The clearance section of the grocery store.  But we had homemade burgers and it didn’t cost me $45.00 at McDonalds!  Win.

At Walmart, I stocked up on things that we were out of – milk, bread, peanut butter, apples – we go through SO many apples – pepperonis and pickles.  I use the method from my friend (she doesn’t know we are friends, but I love her Youtube channel; the world is weird now, isn’t it?  We can have friends that don’t even know we are friends, lol.) Kimmie from She’s in Her Apron.  Or maybe it was Jordan Page.  Either way, I like their methods.  I buy one for now and one for later.  This way it makes it easier to stock up.  We were also out of our dishwasher tablets.  I’ve used Finish for years now, and I’m afraid to stop using them.  They work great, but they are so expensive.  What do you use?
