Tasty Thursday

Hello!

Here's what we ate last week.

• Thurs- Pork chops with scalloped potatoes. I got this "recipe" from N's teacher.  It's just thinly sliced potatoes in a baking dish covered with a can of cream of mushroom soup, then more potatoes and another can of soup  Place pan-seared pork chops on top and bake at 350 for 45 min or so.  
• Fri- Out- K and I got to go to Johnson Shore Inn for the night (a combined birthday gift to K and me from my in-laws) where we had a delicious dinner of pan-fried haddock, potatoes and baby bok choy.
• Sat- Frozen Pizza
• Sun- K's Mac & Cheese (N had a friend over for dinner.)
• Mon- Frozen Enchilada Casserole
• Tues- Baked Lemon Sole, Frozen Spinach, Whipped Potatoes
• Wed- Quesadillas, Raw Carrots

I heard on the news that the average family of four in the maritimes spends $900/month on groceries.  We spend less than that, so I feel better about my food budget now.  K heard from his co-workers that meat prices have increased a lot, so serving a lot of vegetarian meals must help with keeping our prices down.  The news also said that food prices have increased 35% since 2004 and are going to keep rising in the next year!
