Cheap & Cheerful Suppers From This Last Week


As the garden is doing well and we've been blackberry picking, most of our meals contained a fair amount of fruits and vegetables. Our suppers continue to be humble affairs. But everything gets eaten and every tummy is full. 

Friday
scratch pesto and cheese pizza, sautéed turnip greens, rhubarb and apple crisp

Saturday
lentil tacos, fresh blackberries, cucumber salad

Sunday
tvp, rice and peanut sauce, sautéed summer squash and cabbage, blackberries

Monday 
meatloaf with gravy, rice-stuffed grape leaves, fresh figs, cucumber sticks, sautéed zucchini, blackberry pie

Tuesday
pepperoni, green pepper and olive pizza, marinated carrot sticks, fruit salad, leftover pie

Wednesday
chicken, vegetable and sesame chow mein, scratch brownies

Thursday
bean and beef burritos in homemade tortillas, salsa, cucumber sticks, marinated carrot sticks, brownies

Friday's dinner will be pizza, again. I had mentioned to my family that I thought I could eat pizza a couple of times per week. Tuesday -- pizza, tonight -- pizza. Fortunately, my family agreed that pizza twice in a week would be a good thing.

Breakfasts continued to be yogurt with fruit (this week blueberries and blackberries), toast, cold cereal, fruit, juice, and sometimes leftovers from dinner. Do you like dinner leftovers for breakfast, too? Sometimes a lentil taco just hits the spot at 7 AM.

Lunches were homemade soups (one -- Italian lentil and vegetable, the other -- turnip stems, carrot and potato), leftovers, peanut butter sandwiches, garden salads, cheese, fruit& toast, plus cookies or brownies

Snacks included popcorn, fresh fruit, cookies/brownies, peanuts, raisins, crackers
