Shopping anyone?

I want to go shopping. Now. And I'm not even half way through 30 Days of Nothing. Not even half way. I was thinking that if I bought something now with my credit card and then didn't pay the bill until after the 30 days, I'd be good. Right? I know, I know. I'm really stretching here.


I did go to Aldi today. Not exactly the shopping I had in mind though. I now have $86 and 17 days left. We really have enough food here, but you know, I found some good deals...




I used two of the Angelfood chicken breasts to make this. The chicken is good. Same quality as any frozen chicken breasts I've bought in a grocery store. The bruschetta chicken bake was a new recipe for me. It came in a Kraft magazine in the mail. It was only ok.

Did I mention that I want to go shopping?

Ever wonder what boiling beer looks like?

No? Well, I'm going to show you anyway...

Why would someone boil beer, you ask?

Remember how I wrote that I would try all the food in the Angelfood box? We try not to waste around here, but I had planned on giving this away. Until my husband saw them.

Bratwurst.

I had never tried it before. And it didn't look appetizing. So I tried it and I think it tastes about as good as it looks.

The verdict here: There are two more links of it in the freezer and that will make two more meals for my husband. He said it was great, would definitely buy it again. Next time I won't boil it in beer before I grill it, I'll stick to water so my kitchen doesn't smell like a brewery.

We also tried the broccoli and pepper combo. There were maybe four crowns of broccoli in the entire bag. It tasted good, but my kids like to eat their "trees", not just the trunks. I would not purchase that again if it was from the grocery store, but I'd eat it again if it came in the package deal.

The girls had leftover grilled chicken for dinner. I was looking at it longingly.

Thou shalt not covet they children's dinner.
