Tonight will be another leftover tonight, we still have the ingredients to do the weekly meal plan. We just have far to many leftovers! How crazy is that?!
Still lots of bean soup, and lots of Mother Hubbard soup.
We should be making the Caribbean chili this weekend (Well... I will!) and adding some meat in there. Nick is away this weekend so it will just be me. I am excited to finish up all the leftovers and be done with them! A fresh start next week.
As for Gas, $10 should last me to the end of the week. I have been working on driving slower, and being more cautious about revving the car. It seems to work.
I definitely need to check my tire pressure though. Due to the cold weather they are at 28PSI. Eeesh.

A great way to save money with Pets
Making your own dog treats! It sounds silly, but often I will spend about $25 a month on my 9lb Maltese... He loves any "Hoomin" food. Especially anything that's bad for him! We are very very strict with what we feed him, he is our only fur child so we do tend to spoil him. But sadly, this pup needs to cut back.
2 cups whole-wheat flour
1 tbsp. baking powder
1 cup peanut butter (chunky or smooth)
1 cup milk
Preheat oven to 375'F. In a bowl, combine flour and baking powder. In another bowl, mix peanut butter and milk, then add to dry ingredients and mix well. Place dough on a lightly floured surface and knead. Roll dough to 1/4 inch thickness and use a cookie cutter to cut out shapes. Bake for 20 minutes on a greased baking sheet until lightly brown. Cool on a rack, then store in an airtight container.
This recipe works out great. We always have Peanut butter and milk in the house too.
Lets do the math!
Flour $0.25
Baking Powder $.05
Peanut Butter $1
Cup of milk $1
Total $2.30
(Based on the purchase price / amount used )
This Yielded me about 30 mini treats.
It costs around $.07 per treat! That's a whole lot cheaper than the stores. If we factor in the cost of energy its around $0.10 per treat which is still not bad.
