Weekly Roundup #50 - December 9-15, 2012

This week was crazier than last week. After spending $70.00 on a live Christmas tree, I just couldn't get motivated to spend money on groceries.  Here are the meals I created out of our stockpile ingredients:  Cheeseburgers with lettuce, tomatoes and french fries, Vegetable chowder with homemade bread, Pasta with roasted cauliflower, tomatoes, and pepperoni, Meatloaf with egg noodles and salad, and Spaghetti with meat sauce. We also had leftovers one night and ate out one night.
