Easter Candy

Have you noticed all the different types of Easter candy on the shelves? It's no longer just about hollow chocolate bunnies and sugary, yellow peeps; now every type of candy bar is made into the shape of an egg and wrapped in shiny foil. Tonight, Matt and I had a simultaneous craving for Easter candy. Our health-conscious meal of baked fish and veggies apparently sent us into sugar withdrawels that led us to pack Lucas into the carseat and drive to Walgreens. While perusing the candy aisle, both Matt and I found several of our childhood favorites; chocolate, gold coins from Nana, bubble gums eggs in a tiny carton, and of course, the classic hollow, chocolate bunny. After several exclamations of "that's my favorite" and "I remember finding this in my Easter basket" , we made our choices. A mix of classic and new candy filled our shopping bag- chocolate covered, marshmellow bunnies, Reeses peanut butter eggs, and M&Ms Kissables. Yum.

I wish Andy ate sweets, he just doesn't understand when I need chocolate. Candy just makes him sick, and so he thinks I shouldn't eat them either! Have a Reeses Egg and make a toast to me!

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 ...
