I've already posted some recipes and about yesterday's luncheon. I have more recipes to come, but right now just a quick update on spending so far in this Spend Next To Nothing Challenge.
I have set aside $50 a week to use for essentials or those ingredients that enable me to make something of what is on hand, if necessary. In the first week, I spent $17.99 on dog food, leaving $32.01 in the kitty. Here's what this week looked like:

It could be noted that the flour, yeast, icing and castor sugars were bought basically because we were having guests, and I wanted to make some extra things with them in mind. We could have done without them. Old habits die hard! Ah well - upward and onward! They will all be used for other dishes in the future, as I only used a very little of each on the weekend.
It's been super hot, and I'm very tired, so will sign off there....a new week starts tomorrow!
