DAY THREE
I stayed home today and made more muscadine jam, as well as some yummy yeast bread to spread it on. I love being in the kitchen, cooking and baking. Canning is especially gratifying. Is it so nice to see the tangible rewards of a hard day of work!
Matt stopped by the store for me to pick up a gallon of milk...and also grabbed a gallon of ice cream. I said that I wasn't going to include Matt's impulse purchases in my budget, but I was pretty happy to see the ice-cream, so I am going to include it. Those two items brings my grocery bill for the week to $76.52. I am definitely going to have to be really careful for the rest of the month. Yikes!
Here is what we ate today:
Breakfast: Green smoothies
Lunch: homemade pizza, grapes, water
Dinner: Enchiladas (friends came over and made us dinner! What a treat!), ice cream
The grapes are good! I'm sure you will be able to balance your budget! How was your bread?
ReplyDeleteI baked and baked and baked some more today. It was a great day! :)
ReplyDeleteI tried my hand at pear preserves the other day and I must say it turned out quite well. Jeff even says it ALMOST tastes like his grandfather's. Now, I know it will never taste like his grandfather's, but I'll take the compliment! :)
I'm enjoying your new series. As always, you're an inspiration! :)
I'm going to try my hand at baking some gluten free bread this weekend so I think my son will get a kick out of those eggs in a basket...thanks!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you are having a successful start to the 30 days.
I'm sure I'll be back to check in more.

I love following everyone's progress on this 30 day challenge. I made bread yesterday too and opened a jar of peach preserves from last year. DH asked me if man could live on homemade bread with homemade jam on top. I think he'll give it his best shot!
ReplyDeleteWhat type of grape is a muscadine? I've seen a recipe in my Ball BLue Book, just wondering.
Keep up the challenge!
