Cheap & Cheerful for the beginning of November

Weekend (husband cooked)
scrambled eggs, cole slaw, fried corn tortillas, cooked zucchini, oven-roasted potatoes, canned tomato sauce, garbanzo beans and Polish sausage
My husband's cooking style is mostly about putting food in the stomach. I'm having a hard time with really starchy meals, so on Saturday he made a few vegetable dishes, which really helped me.

Monday
My daughter had made dinner in advance, on Sunday for tonight. She made pumpkin-shaped pizzas, pumpkin soup and cole slaw.

Tuesday
I heated some turkey in gravy from the freezer, plus cornbread stuffing from a package, leftover cole slaw, spaghetti squash, mini candy bars

Wednesday (family dinner)
I made spaghetti and meatballs, using frozen meatballs, frozen tomato paste, garden herbs/garlic, whole wheat spaghetti noodles, also had a kale/zucchini/onion stir-fry, garlic toast from a small loaf of homemade French bread which had gone stale, and for dessert -- lemon sorbet found in the freezer and some savoiardi biscuits bought a really long time ago. I continue to find goodies tucked away in the freezer and pantry.

Thursday
I used some leftover pizza sauce, pasta, zucchini, and meatballs for a one-pot meal, and served applesauce, and bread pudding. Easy-peasy

Tonight
I think we'll do a repeat of Tuesday's turkey, gravy and stuffing. I have turkey and gravy in the freezer, the stuffing is packaged. I need to get out to the store and pick up some veggies. I'll see what looks good, and what might be on sale, and will use that as a side dish.

I hope that your week of meals was interesting and warming. Have a great weekend!
