Two Tips for Tuesday/Cookies for Breakfast!
Tuesday, 19 August 2008Here are two tips that are both time and cost effective as well as physically and financially healthy!
Two Tips:
1. Customized Grocery Shopping.
We shop once a week for exactly what we need and with few exceptions, our grocery bill is always withing $2 or $3 of the same amount every week. And every week we test drive at least 3 new recipes; so no, we are not always purchasing the same items.
Our list makes its home on the side of the refrigerator and as an item is finished it gets added to the list as do the necessary items for the coming weeks recipes.
2. Healthy, Quick and Sweet!
Would you like a quick and healthy breakfast you can just grab and run! Look no further!
We make these on Friday for the week to come. They can also be frozen ahead. (Ideal for a road trip)
