This week, we are dealing with a nasty flu.

My mother-in-law had it (just as we were leaving from our trip to visit her) and her fever lasted for 6 days.

My husband has had it since Thursday, stayed home from work on Friday, and hasn’t been out of bed all weekend.

As of yet, I have not had the full-blown symptoms, but I am not feeling well at all.

So, Sunday morning, I went through the sale fliers, gathered up my coupons, and headed out to shop for a week of ready-to-eat dinners!

This is a new thing for this cook-from-scratch mama.

Monday - St. Patrick’s Day - Corned beef and cabbage w/ carrots and potatoes. No green beer for these flu-fighters, but there will be cupcakes with green sugar sprinkles.

Tuesday - Chicken Breast Tenderloin sandwiches (frozen) and French Fries (also frozen) w/ baby carrots.

Wednesday - Frozen mini pizzas w/ salad

Thursday - Fettuccine w/ bottled Alfredo Sauce and Broccoli (frozen)

Friday - Slow Cooker Red Beans and Barley w/ Turkey Kielbasa (I add chili powder and cumin to that recipe and use chicken broth instead of veg.)

That will be the least cooking I have ever done in a week, while still eating decent food.
