We recently made a sort of pledge. It was born out of Bob’s obsession with a new app called ‘Mint’ for his phone. It tracks all of our spending. A couple months of doing that and we realized one big thing…we are wasting a tonne of money eating out.
I used to like to cook…before I worked…but, as I got busy with my career and the kids got busy with activities, cooking went to the bottom of the priority list. We have noticed the affect on our pocketbook and our waistlines. So…we are going to try to eat in more often. I’ll share some of my new recipes here. Being a social media crazy person, I find most of my recipes on Pinterest. Some of them work well…and some, not so much. Today, we made this Chicken, Bacon, Avocado Chopped Salad from Gimme Some Oven. It was FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC…Being huge fans of both bacon and avocados helps for sure, but this is going to be a new go to favourite…give it a try Just a note that we used goat’s cheese instead of blue cheese(no one here really likes blue cheese)…it worked well. And, we added the Dijon Mustard which is listed as optional. Jack LOVED it and has decided it should be called ‘Bacon Salad’…
