it was inevitable....my mother is a cook ( i would say chef ) and i've always loved what she served us and she has always taken great care in providing us with healthy & delicious meals. i was inspired to do the same for my family & i hope my daughters do the same for theirs. i feel bad when i hear about young ladies getting married & not knowing how to cook anything but boxed mac & cheese. actually, last week was the first time that i made baked ziti & i've been married almost 10 years. i know some people make it once a week (which is fine if that's what they want to keep doing, but for those who are looking for a change, I thought I'd give some inspiration). and so, i have started a food blog to help get some creative juices flowing.

under budget??? we'll see





i'm going to be trying my best to be under budget w/ the grocery bill this time around. we still budgeted the same amount,but, i'm going to try to use as little as possible though, so i have extra money for christmas. i'll also be using some things that i already have(which i need to do anyway)! since we are working on debt, we should have our car paid off next payroll. November 26th! black friday :) which means i wont have much money for black friday shopping. hence, trying to go under budget as much as possible because mortgage is also due that pay. we had ordered a dresser and a headboard/footboard for Nina that we are picking up this week. otherwise we would have had it paid off this week. (my fault :( ) i'm so annoyed because it was impulsive. the next week after i ordered it, we decided that we are going to buy another house so i wished that i hadn't :( URG! but, it is very nice & i'll be happy with it.
it's the time of year that we are all wishing tax return was sooner rather than later.
