What’s for supper at your house this week? We had Pulled Chicken, Taco salad and more.
Hello friends! I hope that you are doing well. Everything is blooming here, which is lovely and beautiful, however everyone in my house is either coughing, sneezing, or has itchy eyes. I LOVE springtime, but the pollen needs a good washing away by a lot of rain. Please.
Here’s what we ate last week:
We had speedy spaghetti with rolls that I popped into the air fryer at the last minute. Yum.
Taco salad with a bean burrito covered in onions and cheese with a side of salsa and chips.
Pulled chicken on buns with garlic Parmesan potatoes and a side of Bush’s baked beans.
The next night we had appointments in town (Covid shots), so we brought home Chinese food. My FAVORITE. I completely forgot to take a photo, so you’ll have to trust me. 😛
I made quesadillas out the leftover pulled chicken. They were sweet, so that was odd, but they were also delicious dipped in the red pepper sauce I made to go with them. I’ll post the recipe tomorrow. Famous last words.
I made a giant pot of white rice and we ate the Chinese leftovers. YUM! I use this pot to make my rice in. I love it. You turn it on, put the rice and water in and presto change-o it does all the work for you. And it NEVER overcooks the rice. It is well worth the storage space it takes up. Here are some others that look amazing.
The last meal of the week was what I’m calling Experiment Number 01. We’ve been debating for quite a while on whether to try HelloFresh and I finally put in an order. Our first meal was Mediterranean Baked Veggies with Couscous. It was good. I need to write a separate post about the whole experience to actually let you know what we think about the experience, the food and the cost. Fingers crossed I actually get that done.

Groceries
This weeks grocery budget went to our local Wal-Mart. I spent $163.08. I stocked up on toilet paper, Puff’s Plus with lotion facial tissues – POLLEN – a new laundry hamper because I broke the handle on one of our older ones, along with a LOT of food. It never ceases to amaze me when the total comes up on the register. I know that those people who monitor the self-checkout are laughing as they watch me stand there for a couple of seconds with my mouth agape. Let’s hope that May’s number isn’t quite that high!
