peanut butter and jelly (natural peanut butter and strawberry fruit spread on sprouted 7-grain bread)
This was just fine. The bread was (not surprisingly) dry, but with peanut butter and jelly on it, I liked it.
The Dinner Menu:
-1 cup turkey chili
-salad with romaine, mixed greens sprouts, cucumber, and green peppers, with a drizzle of balsamic vinaigrette
-water
My Response:
new to me foods: beans in my chili
I truly expected to be bothered by the beans, but I wasn't. The flavor of the chili was excellent! The salad was boring.
His Response:
He liked it! He really liked it!
The Kids' Response:
They all had plain turkey chili, without any beans or tomatoes. They also got rice. Lucky dogs.
Got groceries for the next 2 days. $36. Hoping to stretch this stuff and make a few suitable substitutions that will use up leftover ingredients in future meals. Example. I bought a cucumber, but only need a small part of it. Looking ahead, I see I'll need a cucumber again in a couple days. I'll make this one cucumber last for both meals. Hopefully looking ahead and doing that sort of thing as much as possible will help reduce future grocery bills.
