Deborah and Amy, thank you!

Deborah e-mailed me a TON of ideas for cheap eating, and Amy linked to me as a kind gesture of friendship! Linda sent me home with a list of what is in season and on sale each month of the year in the grocery stores and I am struggling to get it all on the blog. SO, here is a big thank you and the two main ideas I got in the last 24 hours: 

1.) Make a snack list for your family so they know what is ok to eat and what is off limits. That way, no one eats what you needed to make your dinner!

2.) YOU CAN FRY OATMEAL. Linda, you are a genius! So, I made some oatmeal with skim milk, cooled it in a glass dish and tomorrow for breakfast we will fry it with a little butter and we'll see if the kids will eat it! I can't wait to do this, and I hope the kids eat it. Oatmeal is cheap, and a good source of protein. Plus, be sure to eat it with salt since the salt breaks down the husk in the cooking for proper absorption. That's what Linda said and she's always right.
