It's been quite the "Same, Same but Different" kind of week here at SHI, we've had Christmas lunch for dinner for the last three nights, not that I am complaining at all, in fact I have loved every minute of it. Last night we finished off the roast lamb and home made gravy on toast for our usual "Leftovers/On Toast" night which, I must admit, is probably my favourite night of the week. I schedule this night on a Friday night, knowing I will probably be quite tired at the end of the working week. I love an easy night.
We haven't been grocery shopping yet this week, I wanted to use absolutely everything up first, so tonight I am baking the ham (boneless) we bought just before Christmas, we also have a big bowl of this Quinoa, Cranberry and Almond Salad to use up from Christmas Eve. This will probably do us quite a few meals then we might just pick up a few things to keep us going till next Friday when lovely hubby does the usual grocery shop.
What we bought
Shopping from the Northside Discount Fruit Barn
The Aldi Shop plus a container of Bacon from Marjax Meats
Shopping from Coles. The tea and coffee went to work for our beautiful Nurses along with homemade Gingerbread Biscuits and the turkey mince and cranberry sauce went into a batch of turkey, walnut and cranberry savoury rolls I made to take to work for our shared Christmas Lunch, if you would like I will post the recipe for these soon
What we spent
Northside Discount Fruit Barn-$18.66
Aldi-$59.02
Marjax Meats (Bacon-Pictured in Aldi shot + lamb x 2 , pork x 2 and ham x 1 for Christmas-not pictured)-$173.50 (we had already put a $50 deposit on the meat last week, yes the meat was expensive but it fed 20 people on Christmas Day plus oodles and oodles of leftovers)
Coles-$72.75
TOTAL-$323.93-thankfully Christmas comes once a year

So very grateful for lots of leftovers this week, it's been like having a little holiday. Over to you, did you also have a week of leftovers?
Have a lovely day,
