Ramen Noodles

Well, the day has come. My love of Ramen noodles has come and gone in one week. Matt will be devastated. A couple entries back, I mentioned a particular craving for Japanese food. Food which can cost around $12.95 a plate. Matt, of course, was overjoyed when I announced that I was craving Ramen Noodles, a dish many college students are quite fond of due to the cost, $0.15 per meal. I quickly rushed to the grocery store where I promptly bought several packages in Beef and Oriental flavors. (Chicken tends to turn my stomach). Well, a week of eating noodles for lunch has come and gone, and today as I sat down with a steaming bowl in front of me, I realized that I never wanted to see Ramen noodles again. Ah, the fickle stomach of the pregnant woman.

I haven't broken the news to Matt yet. He is at a hockey game tonight with his Dad and brother, Andy. The baby did get to enjoy a tasty treat tonight as I had dinner with my dear friend Kathryn and her family at Olive Garden. Yum. Chicken Vino Bianco. I know, I just said that childen turns my stomach, but this particular favorite still tastes good to me. It must be the fickleness again. I attended the Anderson College Homecoming game tonight with Kathryn. Her sis, Jennifer, did a lovely job representing the Freshman class on the Court. I enjoyed getting to tell several old friends about our "little miracle". I have to say though, I really wish that I looked "pregnant" so people would know that I'm getting chubby for a reason. I have bought two pairs of maternity pants, one from Old Navy and the other JC Penny clearance. My jeans are so uncomfortable to me, even with the blessed expansion provided by a cleverly placed rubber band.

Well, I must go for now. The microwave is beeping telling me that my reheated Chicken Vino Bianco is ready to be enjoyed for the second time. Goodnight everyone.

love,
Sara

Baby steps

Guess what? I'm taking steps today to get just a little closer to my dream. We're off to the gym in a little bit to keep working towards losing those 38 pounds. I'm also working on a plan to sell specialty homemade cheesecakes during the holidays. Doing something I love and making some extra money for the people I love. Pretty great stuff!

Special K

I have developed a rather fond relationship with Kellogg's Special K Vanilla Almond. Low in fat (only 1.5 g) and made with whole grains, I eat this tasty treat as a meal and a snack. I'm eating some right now. Special thanks to Kat for introducing me to this delightful cereal. Our local Ingles has been running it on sale this past week, 2 for $4, so I stocked up. The milk is even on sale too, 2 for $5, making this treat yummy and affordable. Sweet, crispy flakes and crunchy almonds. What more could a girl ask for. By the way, you should go to Ingles. Everything is on sale. I picked up some lean ground beef today for $1.38 per pound. Now that's good for the budget. Low prices + good food = happy housewife

Let's go shopping at Aldi's!

If you're shopping at Aldi's this week, I recommend that you stock up on Eggs and Milk! Seriously, a dozen eggs for $1.09 and Milk for $2.19! The price of beef may have gone up, but I'm loving the other staples we get from a cow! I bought 4 dozen eggs this week. Overkill for sure, but when our family eats eggs, we usually eat 7 in one setting! Eggs and toast are a staple breakfast in our house - we eat that at least 4 times a week! It's fast and filling and cheap! If you're looking for something more exciting to do with your eggs, try making a breakfast casserole! I love this casserole from Ree, the Pioneer Woman. Everything she makes is delightful, but this recipe is especially great! As with most recipes, I tweaked it a bit to fit our tastes. For all of his perfect aspects, my handsome husband does not eat mushrooms. This could have been a deal breaker for me 13 years ago, but then I saw his drummer toned legs and I decided to look past his misjudgment! No ...
