more of the grocery challenge!

so obviously it's been way too long since i've blogged.  our lives have been incredibly busy lately, and i'll try to catch up on the blog little by little.  we've been keeping up with our $50.00 a week at the grocery store, and it's still working out beautifully.  we still try to do one new recipe a week, our new recipe this week is a MUST try.  regardless of your prior feelings about sloppy joes, you have to give the pioneer woman's a try.  plus being delish, i had all the ingredients at home and didn't have to make a trip to the store- bonus!! find the yum-o recipe here.

i also had an interesting baking adventure thanks to the pioneer woman.  i made her cinnamon bread, and the dough would not stop rising!  i had never seen anything like it, so i figured documentation was in order!

if you want to have a bread experiment of your own, find the recipe here.  if you do make it, just be sure to be generous with the cinnamon and you will be in for a tasty treat!

one more highlight of our food menu was a simple dish... chicken burritos!  two exciting things about these. 1. homemade tortillas. 2. homemade queso made with no velveeta!  don't get me wrong, we LOVE velveeta, we just didn't have any so we had to improvise.  i must say, it was a yummy, less processed alternative!

hopefully i'll be back soon with pictures from the movie set, and pictures of our new place!  hope everyone has a happy week!
