We are almost halfway through the year already! Where did the time go? I feel like I will blink and it will be Christmas again (I think I just depressed myself). If time flies when you’re having a good time, I must be having the mother of all good times (and I think maybe I am!). The markets are just loaded with goodness this week–I’ve really had to curb my food hoarding tendencies. We came in under budget this week at $95.69. Our menu includes one night of Ellie cooking (hence the spaghetti taco menu, which she assures us is amazing).
Here is how our budget breaks down this week:
- Produce Box (peaches, blueberries, green pepper, eggplant, onion, tomatoes): $23
- Homestead Farm (1/2 chicken): $9.00
- Calico Farm (fresh mozzarella): $4.00
- Locals Seafood (skin on flounder fillets): $18.00
- Hilltop Farm Organics (squash, zucchini, potatoes): $6.50
- DJ’s Produce (okra): $2.00
- Trader Joes (frozen mango, yogurt, soy milk, taco shells): $30.19
- The Mitchells (paying ourselves back for 1 jar of jam): $3
What are we having for $95? Here is our menu for the week!

- Wednesday–Farm fresh salad with cukes, tomatoes, green peppers and blue cheese
- Thursday–Cornmeal dusted flounder, corn, sautéed okra and tomatoes
- Friday–Panini alla Margherita, cucumber spears, peach cobbler
- Saturday–Spaghetti tacos

/ June 22, 2012I need to know about these spaghetti tacos.
I love that your daughter is cooking one night! She’s not much older than my oldest and now I feel like we should spend this summer having cooking lessons! That sounds fun! Except the kitchen is my happy place… I need to talk myself into sharing.
