My Budget Diet For Jan. 9th


AZ Gal

599 views

As I sit in the office kitchen eating my lunch that I brought from home, again, I often reflect on how much money being a celiac is saving me. Everyone eats out, well most people do, and I always carry in. Sure, I could order salads and what not, but boy...salad sure does get boring. I also don't buy a bunch of specialty foods. Sometimes I'll get a cake mix, cookies, or some Trader Joes rice pasta (the big round ziti noodles are the best), but mostly I just eat rice, potatos, and corn.

So today I had guava, milk, and vitamins for breakfast. For a mid-morning snack it was celery and peanut butter. For lunch it was tacos, string cheese, madarin oranges, cherry tomatos, and water.

 

Today we got home late and had a budget dinner: Mission tortilla chips on a plate with grated cheese on top, nuked in the microwave for 30 seconds. The kids love it, cheaper than Mc Donald's and just as fast. Then fruit for dessert.

 

So, that's that...I think that I'm saving myself food money by being a celiac....I just don't go and pick up a big mac like I used to...must be healthier too.

 

I'll keep a running menu on my blog.
