okay so i'm a little freaked out about my state of financial affairs. it's not pretty and chances are i will not be able to find a great job when i graduate. sigh. so anyway i decided it was time to be a better planner, eater and budgeter! so lately i have been eating out sometimes twice a day. and i'm so bored! seriously i'm sick of eating out.
so i went shopping
i spent $150
i started cooking at noon today and finished at 9:30 pm
i made and froze:
chicken enchiladas and mexican rice (4 servings)
sausage and chicken penne with vodka sauce (2 servings)
sausage and pancetta penne with parmesean (1 serving)
homemade chicken and rice soup (3 servings)
potato latkes (4 servings)
i also bought plenty of fresh items to have fruit and salad for at a week and half.
i had to throw in a couple of frozen pot pies and soy chicken nuggets and a bunch of stuff for sandwiches.
also made some hummus (not so yummy though) and a delicious spinach chickpea side dish, also made some black bean and avocado salad and coleslaw.
i still have stroganoff, chili, and a game hen to make.
oh and some ice cream and cookies. ha!
so hopefully it was all worth the $150, because that felt like a lot of money to spend, but this should also help me eat three meals a day- which i often don't do.
i'm exhausted.

Uh...can you come over to my house and do that for our freezer? WOW. You've inspired me Nicki. And made me very hungry. The only thing in my fridge is soy sauce and the mac & cheese & broccoli Gunnar refused to eat 3 days ago. Also it's Sunday night. This sucks.
oh renae- you are too, too kind especially when it comes to my dance moves. i would totally come to your house and cook- it's much more fun to cook for others. perhaps when i graduate and am unemployed i'll hop on over and... move in.
