Because we were gone last week, I'm a bit late getting the menu posted for the first half of the month. While we were at Jesse's conference, we did a mixture of eating out and eating in our hotel room. I brought the crockpot along for two meals (beef and broccoli and a big batch of chili), and we also bought sandwich ingredients and snacks while we were there. That helped us keep things a little bit cheaper, and it worked really well!
I made the beef and broccoli mix ahead of time and froze it, so it stayed nice and cold on the way there, and then I just stuck it in the fridge until the next day. The chili came out of cans. Easy peasy!

Pumpkin Oatmeal sounds yummy. Where did you find the recipe? Or is it one you created?
ReplyDeleteThe pumpkin oatmeal is going to be an experiment (hopefully it will turn out!). I am using a recipe for blueberry baked oatmeal that I pulled out of a magazine several months ago, and replacing the blueberries with some pureed pumpkin, plus adding some additional spices and nuts. If it turns out, I might have to post the recipe!
