Happy Friday! I hope you all are having a really great week. As always, I’m so excited for the weekend! We have so much to look forward to.

This weeks meals were pretty darn quick and easy. Like the rest of this month as been, all of these recipes were chosen based on ingredients that we already had in the fridge and pantry. Our grocery bill was only $55 this week and it would’ve been much cheaper if we didn’t shop at Sam’s Club! Whoops…

Anyway, here it is! Per usual, most of the recipes are from our favorite, Budget Bytes. Do you all have any favorite recipes you’d like me to add to an upcoming menu? We’d love to try them!
