I've decided to start blogging my eating adventures. Mostly because cooking has become increasingly boring lately and this will add some excitement to my life. I'm not that girl who shares what she eats because I have an eating disorder. I don't believe in dieting. I think diets, like budgets, are lame and evil. On that financial note, some may consider me cheap and wonder why I can't afford regular food, this has nothing to do with that. Really I am just trying to be more resourceful so my money can be used for more important things. I decided to put cost next to my meals. If it is something I have in the pantry it's free which I realize isn't super accurate but going forward, if I grocery shop, I'll consider those costs.
On my sister's recommendation I stole the title from Carrie Sun's blog on hospital eating .

Hello Freezer

Breakfast: I was running late for church so didn't have time to make oatmeal but I did remember some frozen pancakes I had in the freezer.  The beginning of November I had half a can of pumpkin to use so I made a batch of pumpkin pancakes, it was a really big batch and I got bored of eating them so the remainder were frozen.  I stuck some in the toaster to eat plain on the way to church. ($0)
Snack: There's always all sorts of stuff at church for snacks, I had a cookie and a hard boiled egg. ($0)
Lunch: I slept through normal lunch time so ate some more pancakes on the way to evening service ($0)
Dinner: After church #2 I was hungry so went to Frontier - the cheapest restaurant I could think of - with my roommate.  I paid for us both ($7) but while there this guy gave us 2 $75 tickets to see the South Pacific so really the $7 had a $157 value.

Week 1 total cost: $14 (and $13 of that was me + 1 so really only $7.50 was spent on myself)
