One Month Grocery Shopping Strike: Day 9
This is Day Nine of our One Month Grocery Shopping Strike! Today was a serious work-day online and believe it or not, I didn’t cook anything today…that’s crazy, right?

Today, it snowed yet again. So, to keep warm, we drank lots of tea....

One Month Grocery Shopping Strike: Day 6
This is Day Six of our One Month Grocery Shopping Strike! I had a ton of running around to do today as I have my Interview with Patrick Harb on UStream tonight. I didn’t cook at all today.

I believe my mom & hubby had frozen...

One Month Grocery Shopping Strike: Day 4
This is Day Four of our One Month Grocery Shopping Strike! I had Muay Thai training this morning, and never eat breakfast before I go…it would be BAD if I did!!! When I got home, I had a banana and made a can of cream of mushroom soup that was in our pantry, but of course, I kicked that up a few notches. Firstly, I used buttermilk in the fridge we already had. * Tip: Don’t be afraid to use buttermilk. It only sounds like...
