This year we decided not to have a big turkey dinner. There wasn’t any rhyme or reason for it – we just wanted to do something different. So instead, we had a big breakfast. We had bacon, garlic sausage, eggs (for H, not myself), yogurt, fruit, granola, carrot muffins and orange juice! Other than that, [...]
It has been awhile, hasn’t it? I know. I haven’t really done a proper grocery shop in weeks. We have been doing small trips with no real plan. I promised myself I would get back into the swing of things this week. Here’s what I bought for this week: A lot of Superstore yellow, eh? [...]
Before we get into it, I need to put a little warning out to the men (or some women?). If don’t want to hear about the wonders of menstruation, then you better skip this post! ________________________________________________________________________ Well I did it.

A combination of Thanksgiving day leftovers and after examining my full pantry, I decided to use what I have first. I bought this rice stick when [...]
Yesterday I did a weekly meal plan and grocery shop. I have learned never to go grocery shopping on the weekends in my area. The stores are just packed, people are stressed out and there’s hardly any food left! First I made a trip to a local produce store because Superstore’s produce is never appealing. [...]
Yesterday I went grocery shopping, but it just one of those days where I bumped into everyone I knew at the grocery store! It usually takes me about an hour to get in and out with everything I need, yesterday was over an hour and a half. Half an hour just visiting in the aisles [...]
