I went quite a bit over budget this week, partly because I didn't want to pass up the $1.49lb marked down ground beef on Tuesday and also because Kroger had their batteries 50% off this week. We needed to stock up on AA and AAA batteries. On top of that, the Clear Passage nasal strips have gone up from $6.67 to $7.47 and Walmart was out of the smaller spray bottles of shower spray so I had to buy the large refill size.
I went to Kroger twice this week because I wanted to get some of their CARBmaster raspberry white chocolate yogurt which I can't get at my regular Kroger store.
I made several changes to this week's menu. Because we ate dinner at a wedding last Saturday and went out for dinner on Sunday, we ended up with so many leftovers from last week that we were still eating them yesterday. I never made the Tuna Muffins and I've taken the Green Enchilada Chicken off the menu as well. We've still got quite a bit of the pot roast left and almost all of the Coney Island Chili Dog Pie. If by some chance we run out of food between now and Sunday, I can always make burgers. I have some frozen patties that are already cooked and I've also got frozen raw patties that I made with some of the marked down ground beef that I bought on Tuesday.
I'm making one other change too because I ordered some blanched almond flour from Honeyville last week. Instead of making the Frozen Strawberry Dessert, I'm going to make Kent's Low Carb Poke Cake with a couple of changes. I'm thawing some frozen strawberries and draining them. I will use the strawberry juice in place of some of the water when I make the jello and I will spread the berries over the top of the cake before adding the topping. I have a feeling that it will look a little messy with the berries on it but I'm sure that it will taste great.

| LOW CARB POKE CAKE |
Whenever I have left-over meat (hamburger, chicken, steak, etc.) I grind it up and use in Linda's Enchilada Casserole recipe. It doesn't matter if I use one meat or several mixed together, the recipe always comes out great! --Christina
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea, Christina!
DeleteI baked the cake this morning. It's cooling and the jello is setting up in the fridge. I can't wait to see how it turns out with strawberries on it. I also used the 2 extra ounces of cream cheese in the topping.
ReplyDeleteLooks like I got another bad package of jello. This time it's strawberry and it's HEB's brand. It's been chilling for a couple of hours now and not getting any thicker. I've got a package of unflavored gelatin softening and I'm going to add it to the jello. At least this time they remembered to add the sweetener and flavoring. Last time all I had was red water.
