Where Are My Sales?
The good part about making a weekly menu plan and sticking to it, is it saves time, money, and brain cells. The bad part is nothing I need seems to be on sale. I use to go through the Wednesday grocery ads and make a list of things that sounded good and were a good sale.

Not A Pretty Sight
Hunger and a Kronik/Mt. Dew caffeine overdose makes for one bitchy gal. I forgot to bring a healthy snack to work and instead of grabbing a bag of chips or cookies out of the vending machine, I just downed another diet Kronik.

Carrot Soup - Meh
I made carrot soup in the crock pot using a recipe created by a blogger. It was extremely simple, carrots, curry, ginger, broth, and then milk added in the end. I added some chopped celery and red onion because I had them & they needed to be used up or pitched. The end result was very bland.

Red Potatoes in the Crock Pot
I totally love red potatoes-fried, mashed, smashed, roasted, roasted & smashed-they are my favorite side dish. Lately I've been cutting them into bite-sized chunks, tossing them with olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, and salt, and then roasting them in the oven until they're crispy on the bottom. Tonight it was too hot to heat up the oven though ( Read more... )
