So here is last week in a nutshell..
The Fish sticks and Mango salsa were a hit and hubby inhaled them (little B had to be told they were chicken sticks and she loved the plain Mango slices).
Thursday we went to the In laws for Enchiladas, YUMMY! Friday was the Quesadillas and that was another huge hit.. The whole weekend was eating out or with Family and Monday we had left over chicken wings from the Superbowl party at my MIL's house.
So we were back to starting to cook last night.. I could not face it so we went out to eat!
Why am I discouraged?
I spent a lot of my day yesterday looking online for inspiration and this is what I found... I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE DOING THIS! In fact, there are a TON of other blogs and websites out there that are doing the same thing (using pantry items, or shopping cheap etc.) and they seem to be doing it much better.. I cant figure out how to post pictures inside my blog posts, they only seem to want to be at the top or bottom.. I also don't like my layout but I only am able to pick from a few choices.. Maybe it is this specific site, maybe it is my lack of experience.. Any ideas?
So my fave sites so far are.. http://www.5dollardinners.com/ who is doing the pantry challenge, while she posts coupons and store links, her monthly menu, AND her recipes (with pictures and steps)along with daily life stories.. Awesome! And http://weelicious.com/ this woman is so together that she makes food for her 2 kids, posts about it sometimes 3 times a day and manages a Face book profile where she gets her fans involved with her daily questions and recipes! So cool!
I want to know HOW these women get the time to do all this? They are also stay at home Moms, but geeze, they even have YouTube videos on 'how to' cook recipes! I feel so inadequate...
OK DONE WITH THE PITTY PARTY. Here is my new action plan.
Step 1. Find out how the heck to utilize this blog better, add pictures etc, or decide if I need to use a different blog site
Step 2. Revamp how I am going to post my daily food blogs
Step 3. Continue with my Food Experiment until the end of this month and then GO FOOD SHOPPING (I really miss it so I will need to make sure I don't go crazy and spend thousands on things I don't need)!
Step 4. Remember every day, that I am not in competition with anyone and I can go at my own pace (darn those movies like Julie and Julia, that make me feel I should be doing more with my life)! :)
Any other suggestions folks???? I would LOVE your input and assistance!

goodluck with it all ! sounds like you are doing enough already....well done!! I think we shuld all have "ta da" lists, rather than "to do" lists. I know I would feel much better about that. Is having a shower and getting dressed for the day enough for one day? I think so!! hee hee hee
