I didn't do a darn thing this week except go to work and sit on my couch. While sitting, I did run across a number of new frugal things to try.
I know a lot of us are trying to cut back on meat consumption, either for health reasons, or budget reasons, or a combination of reasons. I've been doing some research this week, and I found some pretty cool options for new vegetarian meals to try out on my family.
And here's a another list of garden resources.
The free paper cutting templates on this site are too cool. I think I'm going to do a few for my kids.
Cinnamon roll baked oatmeal. Need I say more?
And my goals for next week, copied from last week:
- Walk 4x swim 1x
- Get all of my handwritten pages typed up for the contest, and start on the proposal.
- Make pizza dough, pizza sauce and rolls for the freezer.
- Finish making Valentine's wreath for the front door.
We are making salad our main part of the meal more and more often -- loading it up with avocado, onions, mushrooms, pomegranate seeds, orange slices, carrots, chick peas, etc. (not all at the same time, mind you!). I have been making Greek yogurt-based dressing by putting in odds and ends of onion, avocado, orange slices,sesame and flax seed with a bit of rice wine vinegar, EVOO, etc. I whiz it up in my little Oscar. It is amazing how filling a spinach salad can be when it is really loaded up like that!
ReplyDeleteHi Alex -- I eat that same type of thing every day for lunch. DH is a iceburg/ranch type of guy so I have to have my fancy salads at lunch!
ReplyDeleteI love the greek yogurt dressing idea!
I am very interested in seeing your Valentine's wreath.
