This week I did pretty good, this is just counting what I got today and Friday  (since payday is Thursday).

6  2-3 pound bags of apples & oranges = $1/bag
1 bag of 5 mixed color bell peppers = $1
2 pkgs of sweet mini peppers - $1 each
1 bag of 5 Roma tomatoes = $1
2 bags of 3 eggplant = $1each
1 bag of peaches = $1
1 bag of 1 eggplant and 4 cucumbers = $1
1 5 lb bag sweet onions = $5

2 2-3 pound bags of snap beans = .99 cents
1 3 pound bag potatoes = .99 cents
2 pkgs of 3 ears each corn on the cob = .79 cents each
1 2 pound bag of hot peppers = .99 cents

total = approx $25

I traded 5 of the eggplant to a friend for a 32 oz jar of local honey and 2 jars of sugar free strawberry Polaner all fruit.  Now I got tons more groceries too, mostly stuff on clearance.

grocery total for this week = $132  (about $50 more than what I'm used to, Thanks Mom!!!)

The Chubby Vegetarian's French Toast Pancake

Sorry for the lack of updates guys; things here have been super busy between family stuff and starting up The Homestead Kitchen.   Well I was browsing facebook yesterday and saw a post from The Chubby Vegetarian, a local blogger, was asking people to test recipes for his upcoming cookbook, I took a peak at the recipes and when I found this one, A French Toast Pancake, I knew I was destined to make it.

It was so simple to assemble and after just a few minutes in the oven it came out beautiful!!  Sorry I didn't snap a pic, the kids and hubby dove in so quick it was almost gone before I got a slice.  Let me tell y'all, it was amazing!!!!  I will never make regular pancakes or french toast again!!!  Do yourself a favor and head over to Justin's blog and make this recipe!!

This gets a 10 out of 10 soybeans (I cant remember if my last post used a 5 or 10 scale, oh well, this is good enough for a 10).

Be on the lookout for more yummy recipes, reviews and lots of fun!!!!!!!!
