Happy birthday Natalie. I started following your blog about a year ago…. when you went “No Buy”. It was a jumpstart for me, and now I am coming upon one year as a serious frugalista!

I’m not a fan of grits but I do a similar recipe w/ polenta instead of grits. It’s a mix between your recipe and this one I use from NYTimes http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/17/dining/17minirex1.html?ref=dining

Yum!

Happy Birthday again, darlin’! On my plate tonight is applesauce and toast as I am just trusting my body with solid foods again. Hopefully tomorrow I will be back on real food and I’ll be able to put that roast in the oven that I seasoned the day before yesterday. It is going to be so good!
Whatever you decide to do, enjoy yourself. You deserve it!

Happy birthday Natalie!! Hope you’ve been having an awesome day!! So about that challenge, I got off to a bad start yesterday due to a last minute function I had to attend, so while I didn’t spend any money, I did “eat out”. But I’ll get on the ball by making this pot of spaghetti that should last me a couple of days – provided I don’t eat any for breakfast in the morning.

Happy birthday Nat! It seems like it has been much longer than a year since you did your no buy month! Wow, time travels!

@sharlyn: Thank you for the birthday wishes. I LOVE cheese/chicken steaks. I got hooked on them in college. I know yours were great and healthier than using steak.
@Jewel: Girl, I ate like a mad woman. #glutton
@Money: Thank you, Money!
@Zerline: Yay Zerline and Yay for the kids. OMG, you are super busy and you are cooking gourmet? I have NO excuse!

I’m joining that challenge … and it shouldn’t even be that hard since it’s not my birthday! I have a new schedule – my son does karate three times a week, my daughter gymnastics once a week, and last week, we ate out or I ordered food from somewhere every single night! Ack! No homecooking, and definitely no wallet savings. So this weekend I prepared two dinners: shrimp quiche and shrimp, sausage and crab gumbo with cornbread so I packed dinner and after school snacks in a small carrying cooler last night and plan to do that all week. Viva la Frugalista Power! Feliz Cumpleanos, Frugalista Linda!
