$60.00 A Week Grocery Budget Challenge + Weekly Meal Plan - Week of October 17, 2016

We are finally back to getting a plethora of eggs. Although the older chickens are starting their molt, the newest chickens are laying strong and we're now regularly getting handfuls of eggs. So now they will go on the menu more. Hooray!

I adore Miso soup and for whatever reason have completely forgotten about it. Until this week. I make up the veggie broth and veggies on Sunday. Each morning that I'm bringing it to work I heat up enough to fill my thermos, then bring a Tablespoon of miso with me in a separate container (because you don't want to boil miso). I stir that in before I eat it and it's perfect! J is not a fan and will choose to stick with Chicken Noodle soup for the full week. His loss. :)
