Hi all! I am going to start this blog thing again....
I am sorry it has been so long. This past year was just horrible. I don't even remember most of it. I am just glad that it is a new year. I am looking forward to what is in store for 2011. So far the boys have been sick with sinus, broncitis and Mr. B even picked up pink-eye somewhere. I have been told that once he enters first grade it will get better.
One of my goals for this new years is to cut our grocery bill in 1/2. Also to try to plan meals ahead of time. At least a week in advance, to start with. Then to eventually get it to where we have them planned a month in advance. It's a lot of work, but I gave myself till the end of the year to get it accomplished.
So far it has been going pretty well. We take advantage of the super coupons from safeway and I just stumbled upon Winco. The hard part about Winco is they don't have ad's. They have amazing prices, but you usually just have to go there to figure out what is on sale. Next I need to start collecting the coupons from the sunday papers again. We don't get the paper anymore so I will have to hit my mom and father-n-law for them.
As for my diet, well I have narrowed a few other ingredients down that I seem to react to. Garlic and Onions. I was doing some reading on allergy related triggers, and I read that if you are allergic to Lily's, then I might want to double check against garlic and onions. Which I have cut out of my diet now for a few weeks and I have noticed a major difference. Still don't know exactly which gluten products affect me, but I have a hunch that it is the "wheat" products. The white flour stuff doesn't seem to bother me as much...I think it is pretty strange. But oh well...as for milk, that is a hit and miss. It mainly seems to be milk, butter, cheese. Yogurt doesn't seem to bother me as much. :)
Well I better get back to making out my grocery list...the little man and I am off to pick up a few items. It's taco night at our house tonight.
