Welcome to my new crazy little world..
I've got a few fun and different things going on here.. Recipes, saving money and my weight-loss adventure/experiment.. You name it.. If I'm into it, and have something to say that I think is worth sharing, it'll be on here somewhere..
One of my biggest pet peeves is people saying that they can't eat healthy because it's too expensive.. I hear it from people in random conversations all the time.. and it drives me nuts!!
I'm not perfect (trust me.. I'm so far from perfect it's beyond amusing!), but I think this is one of the things I've got a decent handle on.. So, I've decided to create my page here as my answer to this statement.. I have the page broken into 3 main sections.. Food, money and my weight-loss..
In the What's Cooking? section, I have a blog where I will be sharing my food and cooking adventure of the day.. I'll also have all the good recipes.. (If it doesn't turn out, I'm not going to share the recipe elsewhere..)
Amazing savings is going to be my full disclosure on my shopping trips.. (Oh busted.. Everyone will know how often I cheat and buy myself a Coke now!!) I'll include how much I spend on different ingredients, and how much I save with coupons.. How much things cost is totally dependent upon where you live.. I live in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.. So my costs will reflect that.. If you are local, you can follow along and save with me (you'll know what stores to buy what at each week.. ;) ).. For the rest of you, at least you can get an idea of how one goes about maximizing their grocery/household dollars..
Back into Boots is going to be my journey/adventure into weight-loss.. (I did say I'm not perfect, right?).. I'll share what I'm doing, and how it's working.. Somewhere between weekly and monthly I will be weighing in.. And taking measurements.. All that fun crazy stuff.. I'll share all the details of that plan over in that section.. ;)
