Good day to you all! In a bid to make sure our family eats better-than-well in spite of our decreased grocery budget, I have been hard at work preparing another weekly list of meals along with daily assignments. I've determined that today shall be a baking day in order to stock up the freezer and plan ahead. I'll be back on throughout the day to share my progress with you.
On tap for this morning: whole wheat bread, mix the O.J., make pigs-in-blankets, hot pockets (pizza), French bread, banana chocolate chip muffins, blueberry muffins-cancelled, not enough blueberries, and pitas if I have time.
Here in the desert the daily temps are over 100° on a daily basis, so it is wisest to run the oven in the morning before it gets too hot. Time-of-use for the electric company is also now in effect, which means that electrical consumption between the hours of 1 p.m. and 8 p.m. costs more. To this end, I make sure that my laundry is done by noon each day, and that my dinner is as prepared as I can get it by 1 p.m.
Stop by later to see how baking day turned out, and to read more about my menu plans if you're looking for ways to save money or pare back.
