Meal Plan for this week

Well, this week it is going to be a challenge to come in on budget, because we'll have to buy a lot of protein, but the Husband had several special requests, and since all we ate last week was chicken broth, I thought he deserved some good food.

What we already have that we're making good use of: potatoes, lentils, fresh spinach, frozen chicken thighs, carrots, onions, celery, homemade noodles, cream, tomato paste, tomatoes, spices.  This meal plan has six meals, because it includes tonight's dinner.

1. Lentil and Potato soup
2. Chicken Makhni in the Crockpot, cumin carrots on the side
3. Chicken Salad Sandwiches
4. Spinach and Strawberry salad with balsamic glazed chicken
5. Thai Coconut Curry Soup
6. Fettuccine Alfredo, side salad

The big expensive things we'll have to buy will be chicken breasts and ground chicken, the curry paste for the curry soup, and the strawberries.  I'll serve the fettuccine vegetarian for our veggie meal, and the spinach salad will be our main course salad (I don't count the chicken salad sandwiches).

We wasted some food last week, which I HATE, but what with being sick it was sort of unavoidable.  I am trying to use as much as humanly possible from last week so nothing else spoils.  Thanks, all!
