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 .

cheap substitutes for chocolate

Breakfast: I decided it was time to throw away milk so I switched to instant oatmeal. ($0)
Lunch: Do you know how ridiculously cheap it is to make beans? This week they were $.99/lb needless to say I'll be eating beans for a while.  My friend Heather gave me string cheese this weekend to top off this lovely meal. ($0)
Snack: I really wanted chocolate but opted for watermelon water instead.  It's almost as satisfying and super beautiful. ($0)
Dinner: The rest of  my pasta salad from this weekend and watermelon water and string cheese. ($0)

I thought that was going to be the end of my eating day but then it kept going...

Snack: Our ladies Bible study doesn't always have snacks but today there was strawberries, wraps and carrot cake muffins.  Bought with me in mind because I usually come starving right from class. ($0)
Snack: After Bible study I went to meet my friend Grace at a bar and watch the Bulls/Sixers game. I got there just in time for nachos. ($0)
