April 30, 2012

WOW....I cannot believe that we are already through April....
I remember New Years Day like it was yesterday

We finished the month at $195 for our groceries...so $35 over budget for the month,
still not bad...less than $50 a week.

we have a very busy week of events and commitments this week,
so not many meals will be made....mostly leftovers.

Looking forward to making a recipe from the Lowney Cookbook of 1912



this is what the last few pages are devoted to....helping women in the kitchen by giving you a guidline, or some suggestions of what a DAYS worth of meals could be...


just look at monday....
BREAKFAST...oranges, oatmeal, ham & eggs, potatoes, muffins and coffee or cocoa
LUNCH.......chicken, cheese custard, bread & butter, peach preserves and cookies
DINNER.....corn chowder, steak, horse-radish cream dressing, baked potatoe, scalloped tomoatoes, celery salad, brown betty (this is like an apple pie or cobbler but it uses bread crumbs instead of dough) and coffee


not sure how many calories this is but clearly this was a meal plan
before the 2000 calories a day was adopted....lol

Pleasant Dreams!!!
