It's the last week of the month, so naturally there's next to nothing left in the grocery budget. We're cooking almost entirely out of the pantry this week, with just a quick stop at the store today for a handful of items. With luck, I'll make it out paying only a third of my usual bill for Monday shopping.
We do have plenty stocked up from sales earlier in the month, so it shouldn't be so hard to meet that goal.
Sometimes, I do a themed meal to celebrate Halloween; Rachael Ray likes to come out with funky, ghoulish recipes each October. This time, though, I elected to go the "make your own takeout" route. After all, it's also traditional to order in for a quick meal before trick or treating!
