Week 40 – Menus and Shopping List

Every week I try to buy one thing that is a staple to my regular diet. This week it was more than one. Eggs were very cheap this week. $.59 cents a dozen so I bought two. With the extra eggs I made a quiche for dinner and put leftover cheese ends that I grated along with some herbs and onion. I also found some sausage in the freezer that I browned. I put it in the quiche but also used some as one of the toppings for pizza Friday night. I think the recipe for the pizza dough on this site is quick and easy. Also it’s fun to have friends and family over for a pizza night. Tell each person to bring one or two of their favorite toppings. I then set the table with a huge bowl of salad. As we sit down to eat the salad one or two make a pizza with their favorite toppings. The sauce is an inexpensive can of diced tomatoes that I purée with extra herbs and garlic. You’ll find that as the evening goes on everyone will make their special pizza and share it with the table. Just make the dough ahead of time or make a new batch depending on needs. It doesn’t take long. It will be a fun evening and you will find it cost less than a single pizza ordered in. I got a great buy on chicken breasts and farm raised pork chops which I included in the menu. I cook an extra chicken breast that I then use the meat to make chicken salad sandwiches.
