March Photo Flashback And Randomness
Monday, March 29th, 2010
It’s the end of March but here are some of my favorite pictures from March of last year.
This picture was taken at my parent’s house in Texas when we were staying there for several weeks last March. I love how relaxed Madelyn is hanging out with uncle Bryan (or “Bob” as she called him back then). I also love how she had her hand resting on his arm. She was only 19 months old!
This picture was taken at the park we frequented while there. Katelyn loved it and this picture just showcases that.

I made lasagna for the first time last week. I have never made it before and am now wondering why I waited this long to do it!
Looks pretty good, doesn’t it? It turned out yummy! I froze half of so we can eat it tonight for dinner and I still have enough ingredients left to make another pan of it to freeze.
We’re onto our next two weeks of food shopping on a smaller budget and I’m really trying to make our dollars stretch to the max. We have purposed that we absolutely cannot take cash from a different envelope for groceries. We have to make sure those envelopes build up and are used for what purpose in which they were intended. If we divide out our food budget right now by day and designate $20 for eating out on Sundays it comes out to $14 A DAY. That sounds like nothing to me! But I know we can find a way to do it.
When you have an X amount of dollars there are a lot of things you usually buy at teh grocery store that you find you don’t really need anymore.
We stayed up very late last night trying to close out this months budget and make sure everything was balanced.
Uuumm, not so much. Like Dave said the first few months will be spent tweaking our budget until it does work.
Here is another one of my creations. I call it the “Melzone”. I know everybody makes a variation of these. I was trying to use up different ingredients I had in my freezer already and was able to use up some frozen bread dough and last little bit of frozen chicken nuggets. I rubbed some olive oil on the dough, cut up the frozen chicken nuggets and spread the pieces evenly. Sprinkled cheddar and mozzarella on laid the rest of the bread dough over the top and pinched the sides. Then I baked it at 350 until it looked done. The frozen chicken inside cooked at the same time. It was really good!
Oh, I didn’t put any tomato sauce inside because none of us are super crazy about it unless it’s on spaghetti or pizza.
