Food Plan and Grocery List, 041810

Between taxes trying to do me in and a lack of asparagus, I didn't complete the last food plan.  This week I'm going to prepare that last menu item and a couple new ones.

The line-up:

• Risotto with Sausage and Asparagus (we have sausage left from last time)
• Pasta Primavera with Walnuts
• Smoked Paprika-Spiced Chicken Thighs with Tzatziki Sauce
• Spring Cucumber Salad
• Across the Border Tequila Shrimp
• Cilantro-Lime Rice
• Korean Chili-Paste Spicy Chicken
• steamed rice and kimchi

The groceries; like last week, I included stuff that is not necessarily required for our dinner plans:

Costco:

• low-sodium bacon: $10.19/4 lb
• TOTAL: $10.19

Henry's Market:
I don't normally shop here, but the thighs were on sale for $0.99/lb, which is a dollar less than when they are on sale at other places! The asparagus here was pretty thick and I prefer the skinnier ones currently available at Grower's Direct.  I bought a bunch because I wanted to try the thicker ones in the risotto repeat.

• boneless skinless chicken thighs: $4.16
• boneless skinless chicken thighs: $4.34
• boneless skinless chicken thighs: $4.02
• boneless skinless chicken thighs: $3.77
