Grocery Shopping and Menu for the week

It has been a busy week! I worked school so that I doubled up two days and we went to see Mom, go to the dentist, and help with a class mom was teaching on PPD.
I came home and today went grocery shopping and took the boys ice skating. They also had some classes today!

So, here was my groceries for this week. I was disorganized and now have to plan meals from what I bought, instead of the other way around, but I think I can!

    I noticed the hotdish..looks good. I have a cookbook called ‘Minnesota Hotdish’ :) I still call them casseroles though! I’m not a native LOL.

    Looks great! You must shop at a Kroger store. Those orange discount stickers are all over most things in my fridge/pantry too! :)
