Breakfast:
I don't usually post our breakfast plans for the week, and here's why: they're often embarrassingly non-nutritious. We tend to eat whatever baked goods we have on hand, with a glass of milk for Donnie and a cup of tea for me. Sometimes this means we're eating wholesome things like zucchini bread, carrot-raisin muffins, or homemade wheat toast. More often than not, though, it means chocolate chip cookies, brownies, or cake. Sometimes we also have fresh fruit, but not always.
This week we'll be starting with Tammy's Double Chocolate Cookies, which I made for the first time today, and we both agree are awesome. Once those are finished, we'll probably have homemade waffles for the rest of the work week. On the weekends, Donnie usually makes eggs, bacon, cheesy fried potatoes, and wheat toast for brunch.
Lunch:
Leftovers!
Dinner:
Monday - steak fried rice (this is what we were supposed to have this past Friday, but we got takeout instead!)
Tuesday - creamy broccoli and potato soup, homemade whole wheat bread
Wednesday - Italian sausage, elbow macaroni, and homemade red sauce topped with melted mozzarella cheese
Thursday - breakfast for dinner: eggs, bacon, cheesy fried potatoes, homemade wheat toast
Friday - crockpot Mexican chicken, sweet corn tamale cakes, seasoned rice
Saturday - homemade flat bread pizza

Hi Katie,
Love your blog. I'm always curious how others are doing things, like saving money, and what to eat. I'll be trying the One Pot Wonder next week. I'm curious, how many people are you feeding on $30 a week. Does that include toiletries as well, or just the food?
