Adjusting to my RV living with the cold box instead of a refrigerator. It was so hot yesterday that the temperature in the refrigerator was almost up to 60 degree's. The good news is, I only threw out 2 slices of lunch meat. I moved the mayo, sour cream and half and half next to the ice at the top. I also decided to buy more canned meats and store the lunch meat in the freezer until the outside temp. cools down. We also have two small fans blowing on the back of the refrigerator. Still waiting for the interior fan to come in on order. Praying that one of those helps.
We had to pay rent and so things are really tight. Another frugal week. But we are looking forward to payday on Friday. These times sure remind me of when we first got married, pay check to pay check.
I like some flexibility and so I don't assign days. Here is a legend of my notes.
- = Monday - Friday
* = Weekends
Of course we eat leftovers when we can. I love having leftovers, less work. :)
Breakfast
-Cold cereal
-Grits
-Hot Cereal
-Eggs
-Eggs
*Egg and Bacon Sandwich (as V requests)
*Crock Pot French toast (trying this recipe out) Too sweet and bread pudding texture
Lunch
-Egg Salad
-Tuna Salad
-Vegetarian Baked Beans with Hot Dogs (The girls loved it and it was easy) 1 can of Baked Beans, 4 cut up hot dogs, and a squirt of BQ sauce. Heat up and serve.
-Salmon Rice Salad (didn't make it last week) (trying this recipe out) Good
-Lunch Meat Sandwich
*Spam Sandwich
*Bacon, Lettuce and Tomato Sandwiches
Dinner
-Alligator Stew without the alligator. (didn't make it last week) (trying this recipe out) Will be making this in the Crock Pot. Good, but definately a winter recipe
-Cajun Dirty Rice (didn't make it last week) (trying this recipe out) Good
-Chinese Fried Rice I like to start out with this recipe and add what I have and omit what I don't have. Of course I don't make it with the pork. I usually make it with a Chow Mien, but it has been too hot to do both. Family favorite
-Curried Lentils and Potatoes (Trying out this recipe) Will be making this in the Crock Pot. Good, but needs more spice
-Crock Pot Scalloped Potatoes Will be converting this to Gluten Free and will be cutting down on the dairy portion. Also will add ham. Another one I am doing in the crock pot.
*Honey Chicken (I didn't get to make it this week) Angie made this when she had us over and it was sooooo good.)
*Gourmet Hamburgers - not sure how I am going to make these yet.

I made this in the crock pot. We liked it and thought it would be a great cold weather meal. Not crazy about soup in the summer, because it always makes me feel hotter. I added rice 2 hours before we ate it. The peas weren't cooked all the way. I am thinking it is because of the tomatoes. Next time I will add the tomatoes 1 hour before hand.
Oops! I forgot to write down that the first comment was about the Alligator Stew.
Tonight we had the Cajan Dirty Rice. The family rated this one a 8.25 on a scale of 1 to 10. I guess this one will be a regular.
You are very resourceful!! I hope the transition goes well for you guys and that TX is a good place to be.
Love, Gretchen
Salmon Rice Salad - My quick to turn her nose up to my cooking, really liked it. I added a couple TBSp of teriyaki sauce. The girls ate the salad in a couple of corn tortillas.
Last night we ate sloppy joes over potato's. I was busy and didn't get dinner on quick enough.
The Curry Lentils and Potatoes wheren't spicy enough for me. I like that curry taste. Thinking that next time I should add in some Indian Spices and even a can of coconut milk and changing the name. lol
Thank you for the complement and best wishes. Resourcefulness just happens when you need to make it.
