The End

30th has finally came! We made it!! Yay. We tried new foods and eliminated more processed foods. The first 2 weeks was the hardest to not order in. The second week I realized that it affected friends too, because I couldn't just go out to eat with them when we wanted to. It has made a difference in our family dynamic. We sit down together and eat meals together. It has brought us all closer together. We end this month with grilled pork chops, grilled asparagus, corn and apple cobbler for dinner. Excited! Lunch I made the kids organic Mac n Cheese, by Annie's. I had Greek salad. 

Greek salad
Cucumber, tomato, red onion, green and black olives,  feta cheese
Seasoning tsp olive oil, oregano, basil

Simple and fast lunch. I made one batch and it fed us 4 times. Used 1 cucumber, 8oz of tomatoes, 1 can small olives, 4oz feta. 

Apple cobbler
Chopped apples, oatmeal, cinnamon and brown sugar

I am looking forward to Oct and the changes we will be making to simplify our life. Decluttering and trying new meals. Maybe get to try making pasta, fruit snacks,  and more. I am making. A goal to eliminate the processed foods from our pantry. We started in January to get rid of them and stop buying it. Well while we have eliminated about 70-80% we still are using a lot. This month we have lots of chicken on the menu, fish, enchiladas, and Korean meals. Currently we have about 20 dinner meals already prepared and in the freezer. It cost us about $75 for it as well. I had hoped to keep our grocery bill $200 but it might end up being $300 which is still more then half what we have been spending. Very sad. We are only a family of 4 and we spent about $800 or so on groceries. So here is to Oct savings!

I will be on the look out for sales, coupons and buying bulk. 

God is our provider!
