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 .

BYOCBAK

Breakfast: Baked oatmeal ($0)
Brunch/Lunch: I got to go to a super fascinating class put on by the IRS on Exempt Organizations. They had a very diverse fruit platters and mini cupcakes.  I figured we would go out to lunch but my coworker brought us apples, a huge hunk of cheese, a cutting board and a knife. ($0)
Dinner: My friends had Avenger movie night and food...I have to admit I was still a little full from the mini cupcakes. ($0)

smoke alarm

Breakfast: Baked oatmeal ($0)
Lunch: My friend Chelsea came over for lunch and I made calzones, when she showed up the smoke alarm went off, I didn't know what to do. She said to turn on the fan and viola!  I am still confused because it wasn't actually smoky. ($0)
Coffee: As soon as Chelsea left my friend Sara called to see if we were still on for coffee, my other option was working so YES coffee (or chai) was on. ($8.24)
Dinner: Evidently lunch was sufficient but I did have some Ovaltine before bed. ($0)
