t on birthdays we get to pick a favorite breakfast. This year I let Chris pick a breakfast AND dinner. This is SO going to blow the budget but considering the fact that he's the only one bringing home the "bacon" while I get to stay home with the kids and he's graciously allowed me to feed him huge quantities of lentils without complaint, I feel like it's the least I can do.Word of advice....Never ask them what they want to eat for their birthday meal when they have an empty stomach. You'll see why in a minute.
Breakfasts
Oatmeal with apples and brown sugar
Fresh Ground Coffee, OJ, V8, scrambled eggs with salsa, rye toast, sausage links, hash browns
Yogurt and fruit
Pancakes
Oatmeal with apples and brown sugar
Dinners
Homemade chicken noodle soup, buttery bread machine rolls
Baked Rice and Artichoke Casserole with marinated tomatoes
Mock Tuna Salad and sliced veggies
Leftover Night
I'm going to ATTEMPT to keep my budget at $80 this week. We'll see.....

Your menu looks yummy! And Happy Birthday to your husband! Thanks for sharing!

It is his Birthday, I guess you should let him eat for once.
I have garlic mashed potatoes on my menu this week too! I've never officially made them. Do you have an easy recipe??

Happy Birthday to your husband, looks like a great birthday dinner!
That cracks me up and sounds just like my husband. His tummy is going to HURT.
dinner sounds super yummy to me!
I love several of your recipes and will be watching for more I hope
I would love the challenge of drastically cutting our gorcery budget, but my husband wants nothing to do with it! He prefers to have lots of food on hand (it's a security thing for him), and like you said, because he's the one bringing home the bacon, I simply defer to him in this area. I try to buy good quality, whole foods and try not to waste, while having enough on hand for my hubby to feel confortable...which is a unique challenge on its own. Meanwhile, I live vicariously throug your blog!
