March Challange Overview Week 2

Our Fancy Sunday Breakfast, 3 slices of homemade bacon with sweet Mustard Glaze, Herbed Oven Baked Homefries, Scrambled eggs with Dried Nettle, and that glass of stunning sunshine color is homemade pinapple with juice, blended together into a fruit smoothie.

So its week two, and time for our overview..

DH-It was fine, far less tempation this week, would have been useful to have premade meals in the freezer, for when we don’t feel like cooking and would typically go to town for a meal out but can’t.

FG- Well, lets see, I can’t say that we are missing anything in the house in terms of me being able to cook meals or make the different things that DH takes to work etc. Depending on the day, I am falling into. dang I want a meal off, off cooking, off the farm, just Not of my hands.. thankfully those moments are few and far between.

Most of the time, I have been feeling the need to hit the cookbooks and read for idea’s, I know I want to use this an this, and the cookbooks help in finding interesting ways to do so.

My own biggest challange was the bird sale, I had DH’s permission to consider it work related, as it was directly tied to the farm, and therefor he said I could eat there if I wanted, but that I could not bring anything home within reason.

I was so excited at the thought of it.. I was planning a large double, double, drooled at the idea of a box of timbits, and could not decide what I would have for lunch.. but when I got there and looked at the available things.. guilt got me.. I didn’t need to eat something here, I had a good filling breakfast, I was not overnighting it, it was work related but I could be home in time for a very late lunch..

In the end when I was there, I walked way from that freedom, and stuck to the plan.. I can’t decide if I was just stubborn or just stupid ;P

Would you have eaten out, or would you have waited it out?

    I’d rather eat that delicious looking breakfast plate any day than take out. Can’t remember the last time we ate out. Our food is better, we cook it better and just isn’t worth it to go out and pay good money to be disappointed in the meal. Rather spend eating out money on special ingredients to improve our day to day meals.

    • It was wonderful and I agree about being able to cook it better, I can’t tell you the amount of time I have said to hubby, why spend the money, when I just end up unhappy at the quality of the food..

      Having said that at the right place, I do like being able to have my twice a month outings that we normally budget for, and I like my smoky in a bun at the farm sales.

    We held our maple syrup festival today and I confess I took advantage of the pancake and beans ( free for volunteers!). Not that I couldn’t have made those things at home but I was out in the cold and damp most of the day and I needed bit of fuel to keep warm with!

    I also hit the mall on my way home and did some much needed clothes shopping (new boots and a trenchcoat both 30% off – gotta love end of season sales!) but then I made the mistake of cutting through the grocery store on my way out and they had KD (my one processed food weakness) on sale for 1/2 price so I bought a few boxes. The hard part will be not to eat any before the month is over…
