Meals part two
Thursday meals
Smoothies
Mac n Cheese
Mom's hearty soup (potatoes, carrots, beef etc.)
French bread
I hosted girls night out. I purchased strawberries (stayed in budget). But also managed to serve:
Oatmeal and peanut butter brownies (Ran out of quick oats so I used 9 grain oat mix and crushed it up with my rolling pin, turned out fine and more nutritious)
Triple chocolate cookies
Chocolate dipped strawberries
Apples and fruit dip (dip made of 8 oz cream cheese and 1 cup brown sugar with 1 tsp vanilla)
Smoothies
Except for the fresh strawberries everything else was in the house.
Friday Meals
Cereal and milk
Meat and cheese sandwiches, left over strawberries
Yogurt Parmesan Chicken with rice, green beans, and bottled peaches
Saturday Meals
Smoothies
SPOILER ALERT
I broke the rules for Wiley's b-day party and we served store bought food for lunch once I blog his birthday, you will understand why. But I guess you could count this as our "eating out" meal.
Left over chicken and rice for dinner, with romaine salad
Sunday Meals
Chocolate Waffles
Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with bananas
Dinner at in-laws (we are bringing a Waldorf spinach salad to contribute)
Lastly, I wanted to thank all my friends. I would not be surviving this food challenge if it weren't for you. It's almost like I told everyone that I was on a diet and you are all rooting for me to accomplish my weight loss goals. Last night I was in the check-out line at Walmart purchasing stuff for Wiley's party and the bishop and wife saw me and were trying to figure out if they had any of the stuff I was purchasing at home so that I wouldn't have to break the rules. So sweet. Another friend called while she was at the store and asked if I wanted anything, I didn't. Then tonight, just as I was turning out the lights, another friend stop by and gave me two gallons of milk. (I promptly gave her stuff for smoothies and peanut butter, he he)
Friends, thanks for having my back and rooting me on. Just know that you are the perfect friends and neighbors in case of a real crisis. I hope that I will have the chance to help you out when you are in need.
Much love,
S

Seriously, you are the woman! Good job on such a challenging thing!
I do agree, you have taken your bartering to new levels. Dad and I laughed and laughed at how everyone in your ward has gotten involved. Love your ingenuity. (How is Ben doing with this challenge? Is it as hard for him as he thought it would be?)
You're bartering skills are amazing. I think you'd get much farther with those skills than your food storage if there was an emergency:)
Chocolate waffles??? I think maybe you should whip some extra up and bring them to your homebound neighbors. I do love living close to you. . . especially when there are treats around:)
