#3 - Cook 50 new recipes

I was just looking at my recipe blog and realized I have long passed fifty new recipes... if you aren't keeping up with that blog you should go check it out!!

Yet Another

Remember Jenn's post about how she has too many blogs?

Add me to the list.

At risk of keeling over under mom's infamous eye roll, I have started yet another blog. I know this one can get cluttered easily under all my shopping trips, and there are many people who aren't interested in that aspect of my life.

Enter: The Frugal Report.

Okay, so I'm not very original but at least all of my blogs have a pattern. I hope to post even about my embarrassing, over-spending trips, give shout-outs to people who made my shopping easier, and just make you think, "Hey, I'm pretty sure I have that coupon somewhere around here..."

I may also start a budget in February and try to stick to the budget. I have always had a semi-budget but it's very loose - I can spend anywhere from $100-$200 during the month, but I feel like I really don't need to ever spend $200. Even when I save over $600 (December). So I'm going to start somewhere in the middle probably, close to $150, and then I'll be held accountable by the blogosphere to stick to it. And if not, hey, we give March a shot.

You're welcome to follow me over there....

Announcement

I've given birth to a new blog. It's called The Recipe Report and is a blog about all the recipes we try around here. It's easier to put them in a new blog rather than on here. So go there to look at yummy pictures or find out what recipes we tried and failed, tell me what works for you, and give me new recipes to try! I think of a lot of people will enjoy reading this blog, if for no other reason than to look at the pictures. So go check it out and let me know if you try any of the recipes!
