We woke up this morning to some serious spring rain. Good thing we enjoyed the sun this weekend while we could. We even got to have a meal al fresco! Saturday Jason and I went to a new-to-us location of Noche, which is well known for their delicious margaritas.
We had a lot of other errands to do over the weekend, so I pushed my grocery trip to today. It’s so much easier going on Mondays because the stores are empty! Even more empty today because of the crazy rain. Which made it a great trip! I managed to come in at just $65 for the whole week, which is better than I’ve done in a really long time. I’ve learned that not everything is cheapest at my farmers market, but it is still by far the best place for produce. It’s also the only place I can fine certified humane eggs for a good price.
I sure do miss that employee discount at Trader Joe’s, but I still love to go for certain deals and for unique items. And for flowers. The spring bouquets are out now!
Here’s our meal plan for the week:
Monday: greek yogurt mac and cheese, garlic green beans, spelt rolls, herb marinated pork tenderloin for Jason
Tuesday: mexican pizzas
Wednesday: tofu katsu and chicken katsu, japanese fried rice, spinach
Thursday: soba noodle salad for me, slow cooker beef and broccoli for Jason
Friday: night out
Our rainy day dinner tonight was awesome. I’m sharing both the spelt rolls and the mac and cheese in future posts. Here’s a closer sneak peek of the greek yogurt mac and cheese, which came out even better than I expected!
The upside of all this rain is that it’s washing away all the piled up pollen. So I may be wet, but at least I’m not sneezing!
Hope you’re having a beautiful start to your week!

That rain was no joke! Murphy was freaking out. Does Cynewulf mind the rain?
