menu.

Well, I said I would let you know how my menu/budget went the last time I went grocery shopping. I am happy to report that I spent $143! Only three bucks over budget. So, I have learned a lesson: it's better to cook awesome meals than crappy meals, because awesome meals cost just as much.

This next two weeks, I am going with the same philosophy and asking myself, "What am I craving?" Also, Aaron's parents are coming next week for spring break! And so I'm thinking about them as well. My next menu is....

Southwest Black Bean Burgers with Lime Cream

Sweet and Tangy Sautéed Brussel Sprouts with Fried Eggs 

(holy moly, I made this two weeks ago, and it was so good!)

Thai Chicken Wraps with Tangy Peanut Sauce

Cheesy Baked Tortellini with Oven Fried Zucchini Chips

Coq Au Vin with mashed potatoes

Rice noodle stir fry

We are going camping at the Grand Canyon, and my momma-in-law is going to be heading up that department, so our menu is pretty small. Check out the links for the recipes!

I hope you have a lovely weekend! I will be deep cleaning my apartment and resting up from my millionth cold since teaching....
