Breakfast: leftover cracked wheat cereal with the fixings. Except Cress had oatmeal since she was still asleep when we ate and we finished up the leftovers. The leftover pancakes have mysteriously disappeared. Phyllis ate a little bit of leftover pumpkin because she was still hungry - but she was mad that I didn't let her have applesauce instead.
Lunch: Peanut butter and honey for Dai. Peanut butter and banana for Cress and Phyllis. I had cream cheese. We all had toasted hamburger buns as the bread because I had them in the freezer for a long time and hadn't made bread yet. Phyllis and Cress split a banana and they each had a cookie from yesterday. I had more (but don't tell.)
Dinner: Brown rice with meatballs and brown gravy. Salad - same type as last night. Leftover pumpkin. I did roast some with balsamic but it wasn't done in time. We have a lot of leftover rice so we will do that for breakfast. It looked so nice in bowls down the table.
As a side, we are using English cucumbers - about a half per salad. And the tomatoes are not really in season, but luckily cheap anyway if a touch green.
Grocery shopped today. Has to renew Costco membership so that took most of this pay period's grocery money but we are fine. I went to Fresco and Costco.

With Jason's raise we are less tight so I wasn't going to itemize, but I reviewed some old entries and how it made me more accountable. So, I did.
I am making turkey soup in the crockpot tonight. Using homemade turkey stock and half a pumpkin, celery, carrots, onions, potatoes, turkey, seasonings. Hope it is good.
