We make it through our Themed Dinner Menu last week. I even made pasta noodles from scratch and Alexander the Great made homemade pizza for us with marinara sauce from scratch! The kids were big fans of everything except the Buddha Bowls. They were "okay." Obviously the most healthy dinner on the list would be their least favorite. Ha!
We also discovered that making a new full dinner every night creates a lot of leftovers. Let me just say that again. Five meals over the course of the week
creates a lot of leftovers. A lot. So, the Sunday roast was moved to this next week so that we could avoid wasting all this food!

Since I have several of my list items already check off, I'm guessing that this will be less than $50 all together, which is good because I almost always have a few things to pick up throughout the week.
Have a great week!
