in progress…
This month’s meal plan is made possible only because of my well-stocked pantry and freezer. If I didn’t already have spices and herbs on hand, and a freezer full of beef and salmon and two whole chickens, this would have cost more.

This month I’m having to deviate from the monthly meal plan because of finances…we’ve been hit with a massive $1825 bill we weren’t expecting and so to be able to pay that, we’re making minimum payments on utilities (I HATE doing that…it just prolongs the costs and puts them on to the next month and [...]
