The one thing that is starting to annoy me about shopping exclusively at Costco is the portion sizes. For instance, even though Monkey Boy’s beloved Doritos were on sale for $3.99 this week, if I was going to treat him to a bag from the grocery store I would have waited until they were on sale for $2 a bag. Sure the LOVES the fact that he is getting more… but I miss being able to spend that other $2 on something else. First world problems, I know.
I do love those Costco croissants though. Especially when they are stuffed with eggs, cheese and ham. Yummarooo! Talk about the perfect breakfast to fill your belly.
Last fall Zaycon was offering 6 packs of seasoned turkey breasts and let me tell you Bob they were delicious! Sadly I used up the last one I had this past week. 🙁 Must.Get.More.
I whipped up an easy peasy turkey casserole with the leftovers.
I made a peach crisp using some canned peaches I had in the pantry. Earlier in the week I also cooked a sweet and sour freezer meatballs freezer meal and it served it over rice. It took us 2 days to finish. And I served pasta one night as well.
Check it out! My first homegrown salad of the season. I added a little balsamic vinegar and shredded cheese and it was perfect. If you’ve never grown lettuce indoors before you should really try it during the winter months. It will make you heart happy. 🙂
When I was at Costco last week I wanted so badly to buy one of their giant cheesecakes for $12.99. I’ve had them before at sports banquets and the Costco plain cheesecake is delish. But I didn’t want to blow 1/3 of my budget on it so I found a basic recipe and slightly modified it to what I had on hand and made one. The recipe called for a fresh fruit topping but I thawed some blueberries I’ve had in the freezer since last summer and the cheesecake was WONDERFUL. {I’ll post the recipe soon}.
And last but not least, the HH’s Sunday breakfast tray. I serve him breakfast in bed every Sunday. Did you know that?
Feeding your family yummy food using the staples you already have is easier than you think.
