Dried Tomatoes
Yesterday’s adventure: drying tomatoes. We have quite a crop of tomatoes coming in our garden, but we don’t eat fresh tomatoes, so I’ve had to come up with some fun ways to use them! We love sun dried tomatoes in […]
All We Do Is Eat!
I would have posted this last night, but we got distracted by watching The Mentalist and drinking coffee floats (a couple of scoops of vanilla ice cream, some cold brew coffee and a little half and half). So anyways, yesterday […]
Challenge Complete!
It’s officially over! The $30/week challenge is over! I have proved we could do it and depleted our stores in the process, but it was a good cleansing. At last update I had $10 cash. I now know why I don’t use cash: I have no way to account for it. If I spend a dollar here and a couple at a garage sale… I don’t have any way to go back and track it.
Anyways… $10. With that $10 I spent $2.09 on a gallon of milk, $1.04 on tortillas, and $6 toward a dresser (the one I still need to post about). I have $.38 left and I guess the rest probably went toward tolls from last weekend. So basically I had a surplus of $6.87!!! Can you believe that I not only fed both of us on $30/week, but that I had $6.87 left over!?! I can’t.
Week 6: Menu
Ok, kids, with all of our fun posts lately, I forgot about posting our menu. Let me assure we have yet to go hungry! And we’ve had a few fun/interesting things.
Last week we didn’t have Pecan Crusted Salmon as planned, but rather Asian Salmon Burgers which were delicious. You can read about that on our Father’s Day post if you missed them. So we will likely have pecan crusted salmon next week! But here’s what we’ve already had so far this week…
Homemade Tortilla for Cobb Salad Wraps
Well, I wanted to make cobb salad wraps Monday, but… we had no tortillas for wrapping, and little money left to buy them. I thought maybe I’d try my hand at making my own! The problem is that most of the recipes I found included butter, lard, Crisco… or some other variation of that. I didn’t have any of that, so I almost gave up. Then I found this recipe at The Homesick Texan. They turned out delicious and I will definitely try again!
