Local Eatery $14.25
We seem to be eating a lot of crab cakes lately since discovering them at one of the local bakeries/eateries in town. I’m not really into seafood, but there is something especially delicious about these little crabby cakes and I LOVE them. The dill sauce is crazy good and at $4.75 a pop, we’d much rather buy them and support a local business than to hunt down some fresh crab and make our own.
Eggs with hoisin sauce a little chicken weenies from Costco seem to be my new go-to breakfast. Well that, and Cream of Wheat. {No Malt O Meal to be found here in Maine}.
My husband thinks eating raspberry and cream cheese pastries after a 6 mile walk defeats the purpose of the walk. I totally disagree.
Snacks on the go.
Turkey, Old Croc cheddar and pickles on white bread. Delicious!
When you are to tired to make tortillas and you’re out of tomatoes and there’s no lettuce in sight, and you forgot about the sour cream and guacamole in the fridge. I think I might be one of those people who eat to live, not live to eat. Fuel up and get back to work, that’s my motto. 😉
Crabby cake, roasted potato and broccoli.
A giant plate of roasted Brussels sprouts for dinner. Totally acceptable, right?
Pickety bits for dinner.
And again the next night.
It’s a sad day when you run out of pickled beets. Next time I’ll buy a case.
It was a good week and there were a lot of meals on the fly because seriously, who has time to stay cooped up inside when the weather is nice out and playing in the dirt is so much more fun than spending 30-45 minutes inside preparing a meal.
Ice cream season has officially begun, and I couldn’t be happier. 🙂 🙂 🙂
Are quick meals and ice cream making a comeback at your house? What are you eating these days? Curious minds want to know.
Peace Out Girl Scouts,

Looking for ways to save on your grocery budget? Back when the kids were in school, I used to cook loads of freezer meals in bulk, and preserved as much food as possible from my vegetable garden. I have written about the list of pantry staples I always have on hand and The Best Foods for Eating Well on a Tight Budget. I’ve also written about How to Cut Your Grocery Bill in Half and even did a series on 52 Ways to Save $100 a Month.
