So Saturday we ran errands all day.. got most of our shopping done for the up coming week.. we ended up going out to lunch while we were out.. we had salads.. but we had a late lunch and did not want to make dinner.. We ended up having people over to watch the UFC Fights and to play poker.. I had sliced up some hard cheeses and salami and we pretty much just snacked on that all day.. However, earlier that day James found an awesome website called www.allrecipes.com it is amazing.. you can create an account and search recipes by how many people you are cooking for ( it will do all the math and adjusting for you is you need it for 2 or 5 or 7 or however many) you can also limit your search to only low fat, low calorie, low carbs.. you name it. Once you find recipes you want you put it in your "recipe box" and hit grocery list.. it will create a shopping list for you.. So the first place we went was the kitchen to cross off everything we already had.. It made shopping so easy.. We did go over budget this week but I think that has to do to the fact we picked recipes with items like chili oil and stuff like that which was pricey..
I am starting to really like cooking.. I think it helps to have a menu planned out..
