John and I love to eat
out at restaurants. We love the atmosphere, the friendly service, discovering
new favorites and just the idea of having a fun night on the town. However,
going out frequently and then trying to save money? You can't get two more opposite
hobbies. That's when I found an article, which unfortunately I can't find
again. But all the recipes I loved I saved on Pinterest.
If you go to my Pinterest
account you will see the board that I named "Food Truck
Recipes". If you aren't following me, do so and I'll approve you right
away so you can see my brilliant pinning life.
Anyway, these are cheap,
easy and for the most part, not terrible on the calories. There are ways to
dial back the fat if you want but I like them just how they are!
Here is what our Menu and
Shopping list look like. The Menu is taped to the back so I know exactly what
I'm having and have all the ingredients right there. I wrote the price and
where I got each ingredient as well which will make shopping in the future
easier. Hopefully. Is there anything you do to help make the weekly chore of
shopping easier?
Wednesday night was Chicken Po Boy for dinner and lunch for
today. I figure it's a lot easier to make a lunch with stuff you already have
out than try and have inspiration during the morning rush. Therefore, save
money, time and give you a couple extra minutes before you run to work. Here is
my creation. Didn't have the bun, but I had everything else, so whole wheat
bread it is!

in our closets.
