I was inspired by several things when putting together this blog.
1. My friend Amanda (http://twobooswhoeat.blogspot.com/) Her and her fiance go to the grocery store all the time and cook a lot of their food at home. They make the most amazing looking food! I really needed to be more consistent with that.
2. I subscribe to a blog http://www.momadvice.com/index.aspx and she has this no spend experiment. I only read the post from her very last day of the challenge and it completely motivated me. Here is a link to the post: http://www.momadvice.com/blog/2009/02/day-28-tis-final-day-of-no-spend.htm
3. The last item is probably the main motivator. My husband was laid off yesterday. We are a dual income household, we both work full time and have two young kids. We of course bought our home at probably the worst time to buy a house, December 2006. So needless to say we need to cut expenses any way we can. It is not a secret I do not like cooking. If I can get something to "heat up" that does not look or taste like I just heated it up that is what I do. I usually go to Trader Joe's or Fresh and Easy. They have really great meals that are fairly inexpensive. So I will use this blog as my motivator to want to be in the kitchen :)

Every now and then when it can get really tight I shop at Valley Produce. I only get produce there, it is really inexpensive. A good way to get inexpensive organic produce is to get it from our local CSA, you get a weekly box of locally grown organic produce really cheap. You always get something different depending on the season. I always try to buy organic, but if commission is down none organic and thrifty will do.
I am so excited you started this website. It is a daily dilemma trying to figure out what to have for dinner. I love that you have some quick and easy meals that are budget conscious.
I am so sorry to here about Adam's layoff. I hope it isn't for long.
