grocery shopping day #1

My way of celebrating the families that don't use food stamp as a way to pay for food for your family...congratulations on achieving that..I will pray that you can continue to do so..

Now for the ones that do get help with food stamps I say stay away from Wal-mart...I spent $144 and this is what I have to show for it...





Just had to get a picture with my wreath that I did yesterday....

way to little but you can't see the 2 1/2 dozen eggs by the milk..yeah we go through that plus more if I am in my cooking mood...

well as I was at Wal-mart I found something great...this is for those that don't know me too well I love bullion cubes...I have the powder form of the tomato(which I will use tonight for dinner- taco's with spanish rice) I will try to post a link to my other blog so you can see how its made if I have it there if not just leave me a comment and I will give you the really simple recipe...

Garlic and Onion cubes: I am flipping out really how cool and I love the smell of Garlic even told the kids that they really need that as a perfume instead of vanilla...lol Yes I am weird haha


see how many I have... the one with the red lid is the tomato powder, then I got parsley, onion, garlic, 2 chicken, and beef...yes I am obsessed...




you can find these three plus the tomato in the Hispanic section of Wal-mart..



Well my next shopping trip will be Saturday with all the kids and hubby to Aldi in Gadsden...so much better prices...just remember to bring your own bags of boxes...till then..


Spanish rice:
Very simple to make..I fixed enough for 6 servings as my family loves rice ..
but start out with boiling the 3cups of water and I put in 3tbsp of the tomato bullion let it boil and then add the rice and take it off the burner let it stand with a lid on..when its done fluff up the tomato flavored rice and add some salsa..your choice on how much though...and enjoy..
