This Weeks Goal

Try to only go to the grocery store ONCE (like tonight). I've got the overabundance of pantry staples that need using up. I'd like to rid my cupboard of the whole wheat pasta I bought that I don't like. I had thought about donating it to my local food pantry, but read somewhere that if you donate, donate food stuffs you would like to have to eat as as well as staples. Made me stop and think and then decide that I can suffer and eat the whole wheat pasta and I'll make a cash donation to the food pantry instead. They know what they need better than I do!

I have not made a loaf of bread in my bread machine in a while. I'm planning on doing that this evening. I'm in the mood for really fresh bread...

There is nothing like a freshly baked bread!

I am also trying to limit these kind of shopping trips.

I actually think donating whole wheat pasta is fine because they don't usually get the healthy stuff. Mostly people give the cheap, bad-for-you, white pasta.

But give something else you really like as well or donate cash.
