I recently began tracking my expenses and have been able to see how much money I spend on eating out. My challenge is to see how many days I can go without buying any food that is not part of my groceries. No running to the burrito shop on lunch breaks, stopping for a slice of pizza on my way home, or dining out. For now I will see how many days I can go, and establish a solid goal later. I'll use this blog to motivate and tally the days. I hope to post pictures of good meals that I make, online coupons that I find, and things that I learn!

Tacos!


Well a couple of days ago I caved to the power of pre-prepared food. I'd had a very long day, and knew that there wasn't much food at home, and happened to be starving. Not a good combination. I went into Safeway to pick up some food to make and all of the sudden found myself at the deli! Wha? How did that happen? Before I knew it I was walking out with potato wedges and some sort of chicken wing nuggets. Needless to say I felt so sick after eating all of it that I nearly got sick. Regardless of my lapse, I'm still continuing to eat at home. Yesterday, I made some wonderful tacos with turkey meat, cheese, lettuce, green onions, and hot sauce. I could probably count on my hands how many times I've cooked meat at home, so cooking the turkey meat was a learning experience. Apparently cooking frozen meat isn't really the best idea!
