September! Here in Texas we are hoping for fall but still topping out over 90 degrees. The beauty of the extended summer is great produce still showing up at the farmer's market and in our CSA share. I also have just ignored the temps and have put soup on the menu plan for the week using up some leftovers.
Bacon: $12
Whole chicken: $16
Pork cutlets: $6
Ground Water Buffalo: $9
Beef Jerky: $12
Cantaloupe: $2
Watermelon: $4
2 heads butter lettuce: $4
Cookies (4): $4
Sourdough bread: $5
tomatoes: $4
Purple hulled peas: $7
Black eyed peas: $4
Gouda cheese: $9
2 bath bombs: $2
This week's CSA share which was a $12.50 investment because I pre-paid for 42 weeks at the beginning of the season.
This plus 2 cases of water came up to $205.71 so my total for the month is $305.71 as I am not counting the cost of the CSA share.
This week's menu plan:
Sunday Sept 2nd
Breakfast: donuts
Lunch: potluck at church ( I made pea salad, bread pudding and took watermelon. Phillip smoked a pork butt)
Dinner: Spanish Potato Soup from A Little and A Lot served with toasted sourdough. I made the soup using the leftover pork butt from lunch. This is one of our favorites and despite it's monochromatic appearance it is really good.
Monday Sept 3rd:
Breakfast: cinnamon rolls
Lunch: birthday lunch out with family
Dinner: little smokies in BBQ sauce and homemade mac-n-cheese
Tuesday Sept 4th:
Breakfast: cereal
Lunch: subs out with coworkers
Dinner: Italian marinated pork loin served with roasted potatoes and fresh green beans
Wednesday Sept 5th:
Breakfast: cereal
Lunch: working lunch of nachos and watermelon
Dinner: Pulled Pork Rigatoni from Life's Ambrosia served with a garden salad and toasted sourdough. I used leftover pork to make the rigatoni and the one adjustment I would make is to cut the amount of cumin. It initially did not seem like that much in the recipe but it was a bit strong.
Thursday Sept 6th:
Breakfast: cereal
Lunch: Gyro with fries ( Lunch with a friend)
Dinner:Easy Garlic Ginger Glazed Sticky Pork from Foodie with Family using leftover pork served with steamed rice.
