Before I get to the food, I have a quick announcement.  On Tuesday, May 15, I will be posting a book review of the latest publication from MOPS International.  You may remember my first book review from the fall.  You can see it here.  Once again I will be giving away a copy of the book.  I hope you’ll stop by.

Hello, friends.  I set my mind on having a good, organized week (at least in terms of food), and here it is! I went over my budget a little, but at least I had an actual menu and shopping list after a couple of weeks of winging it.  I spent $118 on groceries.  We spent $9 at church, and J & I spent $3 on lunch this afternoon.  That’s a total of $130.  Here’s my menu:

Monday: Hearty Western Casserole with cut-up cucumbers and dip (Crock Pot)

Tuesday: I had a pot-luck with my women’s group.  I took a pasta salad.  My boys (including hubby) had hot dogs, baked beans, and some of the pasta salad that I set aside for them.

Wednesday: Dinner at church

Thursday: Chicken kabobs (chicken, pineapple, and green peppers) with rice

Friday: Baked gnocchi with spinach and tossed salad

Saturday: Quiche and cantaloupe

Sunday: Roast in the Crock Pot
