dinner
My husband put the last of the pork roast we had in the crock pot with some onion and BBQ sauce. He made BBQ pork sandwiches and steamed some corn. That's all. I'm leaving for work in an hour and need to get ready.

dinner tonight...
Home made meat balls, veggie garden sauce, green peas...DH and the kids can have some penne pasta. I'm opting out of the pasta, since I'm trying to improve my eating habits.

What's been cooking...life.
I put a beef chuck roast in the crock pot this morning. I bought it at Aldi last week for 4.99 lb. It was 2 and a 1/2 pounds of red meat. Well, we have about three slices left of chuck roast. I simmered it in the crock pot with cut up carrots, five small potatoes, a half of an older onion, and two teaspoons of jarred garlic and Worcestershire sauce. My husband made a small salad, steamed Brussels sprouts and green peas. I passed on the potatoes.
It was heaven. We have a small amount of veggies left, three slices of roast, and a cup of beef stock for the freezer.
Last night, we had some left overs. The choices were taco meat with cheese, lettuce, tomato, taco sauce, chopped onions, brown rice with black beans, On Tuesday evening, my daughter made pork chops, green peas, corn, and a small salad.
Work is going well for the most part. I've cut down on the overtime. YEAH!! I started a new medication for anxiety, and I'm only one day three. My husband said he thinks I am smiling more. That's kind of nice to hear. I have been going to the gym and working with a trainer. It's expensive, 150 dollars a month for 30 minute sessions once a week for the trainer. The gym costs 14.99 a month for the machines, and full access to the gym. I've met the trainer twice so far, and been using the machines and elliptical 7 out of 9 days so far. I like the gym and I do consider it "hard work". I've also been working on my eating habits. I'm working to incorporate more protein into my diet, less carbs, and more veggies.

Our dinner is a simple one. We have a thawed pork roast in the fridge. I put it into the crock pot with a couple of potatoes that I peeled and cut small. I added a couple of teaspoons of chopped garlic I had in a jar, a couple of mushrooms (the end of a fresh package I had in the fridge), some sage, onion powder (I am out of fresh onions), and a can of mushroom soup. The crock pot is on low, and will cook all day. I will steam some frozen veggies I have in the freezer to go with our dinner.
I have a running list of pantry items and household goods that need to be replenished. I got paid this morning, wrote out all the bills (my student loan, electric, water, pest control, equity line (snowball payment), June's mortgage, doctor bills, cable, cell phones, and a payment to my tuition at Walden.
My savings is intact, but I haven't made any deposits in the past two months. The last deposit was made January 21, 2015.

March 4 dinner
My daughter made chicken thighs the other day and we still had four in the fridge that needed to be used. I found this recipe on face book being passed around. I figured we should try it.
I put all the carrots we had in the fridge in the crock pot (they were tiny and small), I have no onions, and only had one take out packet of soy sauce...we will have some brown rice, a small salad, and maybe some other veggie to go with it.

March
I can't believe it's all ready March. I've incurred some expenses for this month. I went back to my doctor to get some treatment for anxiety (at my husband's request)because it is making me physically sick. I saw my doctor last week and I am to return on Thursday for a follow up and pick up a possible prescription, and will return again in two weeks.
March 1st- ordered pizza from Little Ceasers
March 2nd- penne pasta, using frozen from scratch garden veggie spaghetti sauce I had in the freezer, topped with Parmesan cheese, and salad.
March 3rd- I put a pound of kidney beans on top of the stove to soak overnight (last night), and my husband said he was going to make chili in the crock pot. We do have some colby and cheddar cheese in the fridge, and I will make another salad to go with our meal.
We have in the pantry, fridge, and freezer:
bulk kidney beans
yellow, red, orange peppers
jarred garlic
fresh onion couple
cans of diced tomato
ground turkey
all kinds of spices
I told him that if he wanted other stuff to put into the chili, he was going to have to buy it. I am holding on to the money in my account to pay for my tuition for class.
