Meal Plan for the Week

It looks like we're only having 2 other people over for dinner tonight. But, I'm going to make a big pot of chili anyway and freeze the leftovers.

Thursday Dinner:

• Antioxidant Chili from The Gluten Free Vegan with some ground beef on the side for the more carnivorous guest

The rest of the week:

• Summer Rolls with Hot & Sour Soup
• Chicken Tostadas
• Crockpot Salsa, Chicken, and Black Bean Soup
• Barbeque Chicken, Corn, and Homemade Potato Chips
• Pizza with Broccoli, Zucchini, and Onions with White Cheddar
• Channa Masala

The Nerd had to run down to the dentist with an orthodontic issue, so when he gets back I'll go shopping. I only had 40 dollars to work with this week, so I needed to keep the costs down by shopping heavily in our own cabinets. I also wanted to shop mainly at the farm stand and/or get local vegetables.

Shopping:

Farm stand:

• 2 Tomatoes $2
• 2 Lettuce $4
• Cilantro $2
• Avocado $1
• 4 Ears of Corn $3
• 2 Zucchini $1 or $2
• Broccoli $1

• 1 can of organic chickpeas $3
• 1/2 gallon organic milk $6
