We're trying NOT eat fast-food, takeout, or eat out, so we went
shopping on Sunday and bought lots of fresh fruit and veggies and
meat. We didn't save any money because fruit and vegetables are
expensive, but I'm sure we're eating healthier/better!

I'm a bit surprised. I have personally found that my total at the
checkout goes _down_ when I purchase a lot of veggies, and I take home
more actual food for the price.

What will drive MY bill up is fresh meat, especially if I am purchasing
beef, fish, or crustaceans. :-)

The price per lb. for veggies is lower than meat and I get more
volume/bulk for the total weight.

But I noted that you did purchase fresh meat... What type?
Now that I can regularly get GOOD pork for $.97 per lb., we've been
eating a lot more of it. We still eat quite a bit of chicken too tho'.

Sunday night we had panfried mahi-mahi, oven-fried potato and sweet
poato wedges, tomato and fresh salad greens with tartare sauce.

Monday night we shared a huge tbone steak (I'm not a big beef-eater)
with baked potato, fresh corn on the cob, homemade garlic bread and
salad.

Tuesday night I roasted a chicken with cajun seasoning and made a huge
pan of roasted vegetables (yellow squash, baby beets, mushrooms as
well as the regular onion/carrot/sweet potato.) There were enough
veggies left that I had a big bowl of them for breakfast on Wednesday.

I love to cook that way when I use my table top roaster. :-)
I roast the veggies in with the meat and just time them appropriately.
It's wonderful stuff.

Wednesday I made a big pan of turkey lasagne, garlic bread and
side-salads.

Thursday I had leftover lasagne at lunchtime, and I made DH a big
dinner salad when he got home (he hates having the same dinner twice
in a row.)

I'm not sure what I'll make tonight but I think we'll have pork chops
and veggies.

Healthy and tasty eating... You had me drooling! ;-d~
