So far, so good at Jaimie's house. Today was a bit of a challenge because it was my husband's first day of vacation. And, I do have to admit, I am having twinges of guilt. We picked up some chicken from a grocery deli today. It was my husbands way of getting his "fix" for Genera' Tso's Chicken without completely cheating. He even had me call Janet to make sure we "Weren't cheating on her." We only bought the meat and brought it home to eat with our own side dishes. And, I will say this, since it is his first day of vacation, we normally would have eaten out for lunch and dinner. So, in many respects, it was a very successful day...especially due to the fact that I didn't hear any complaining from my husband. :) The greatest thing is, we probably saved at a minimum of $30 by not eating out today (that's including the deli chicken)!
Tomorrow night, we will be having my family's favorite dinner. It is my own recipe and thankfully, everyone in our house loves it. I will be making "Creole Chicken and Sausage with Pasta." It isn't for everyone, but like I said, we love it. Go to our "Good Recipes" and I will post the recipe for anyone that is interested.
We hope people are reading this and it is inspiring your families to take on the challenge!
