Day one- shopping and the meals...

Today we made a quick trip to get some pork for the next 3 nights' meals. I spent a total of $9.32 and got a pound of lentils, 7lbs of pork shoulder, a 6pack of bulkie rolls, and a 10pack of tortillas. The tortillas were a bit of an impulse purchase, since I didn't get a chance to make them this morning.

So, onto the meals:

Breakfast:

Abby and Everett- bananas and cheerios, juice and milk
Anah- Green Smoothie with flax and yogurt
Paul- Cereal with milk

Lunch:

Bean and Cheese burritos (filling- homemade- 1lb pinto beans, large chunk of kilbasa, lots of herbs and spices)

Dinner:

Crockpot Pulled Pork, served on bulkie rolls with BBQ sauce, green beans and potatoes from the freezer stash.

Tonight I'll also make up a batch of yogurt and a couple batches of drinks. A great tip is to make tea at night while you're cleaning up the dinner dishes, then you can sweeten it while its hot- avoiding the sugar at the bottom of the pitcher problem. I usually make 8 cups, double strength, hot, and then put in a clean 2L bottle with cold water. By the time I get to it the next day, it is nice and cold!
