January Challenge wrap up.

I have been SLAMMED the last week so I haven't been able to post this until now. Here are the last few dinners that we have eaten at home at the end of january.

BBQ ribs with stuffed roasted tomates, and rosemary garlic roasted potatoes and rolls. (and yes, it was awesome. Dave asked me if he could have a tomato for dessert.)

Here is the link for the rolls.

Marinated grilled steak with bacon and cheese baked potatoes, peas.

Beef chuck roast(best one I ever made), corn and mashed potatoes with homemade gravy.

Shrimp Etouffee (completely homemade and soooooo gooooddddd)

Didn't take a picture of the fajitas, and we even had some dessert!

Cherry crisp.

We ate leftovers for like, 3 days straight there was so much food! I fact, I ate roast for lunch today. We ate so good that last week that I think I gained 4 pounds!

Conclusion - fun challenge, and much easier than i thought it would be. Only spent around $35 or so for the entire month of January.

How did you do?

Designer stuff

Well, I love to shop. If you haven't figured that out yet...well...you are not as smart as I thought you were. I love all kinds of deals and most importantly when they involve shoes. If you haven't heard of Beyond the Rack it's this cool website where you can get Designer stuff at seriously discounted prices. (this is designer stuff, so it's alot!) But I've been perusing the shoes and have seen some great stuff. The coach sale starts in a day and a half!!
