I’m counting down the days to soups and heartier meals for the colder months, but we’ve still got some weeks to go before fall weather arrives in North Carolina. I’m finding some great compromises in the meantime.

We’re trying something new with our routine, and this week we finished our grocery shopping Friday night. I loved that it left the weekend open for more fun, but I feel like the produce selection was a lower quality than usual. Any other Friday night shoppers have that problem, or is it just an anomaly since we’re approaching the end of the summer?

Here’s our $50 meal plan:

Saturday: Porterhouse steak and baked potatoes
Sunday: Broccoli Cheddar soup
Monday: Leftovers/sandwiches
Tuesday: Black bean quesadillas
Wednesday: Spaghetti with meatless marinara
Thursday: BLTs
Friday: Pizza
