What have I been eating this (last) week?

While I am taking part in my $50 a month spent on food grocery challenge, I will be documenting what I eat each week.  Some people have expressed concerns that I can't possible eat enough on just $50 a month.  I hope this type of documentation puts their fears to rest. 

This week, most of my food is coming from food that I already had in the house.  Next week you will start to see more items from my recent shopping trips making their way into my meals.  Assume that I drank water with my meals unless I specify otherwise.

  2. What's in your lasagna soup? That sounds really good! If you have time, I'd love if you could share the recipe.

  6. Does your family ever get tired of cereal and milk? My dd loves waffles, I make them ahead and freeze them for her to rotate with her cereal.

  7. Yep! I get tired of almost anything I eat. I do mix it up... sometimes it is toast and PB, sometimes a banana and PB, sometimes toast and jelly, sometimes cereal. On weekends I try to sometimes make something more substantial like eggs or pancakes.
