I was so excited to hear about the Eat at Home challenge again!!! I have many great ideas and recipes I want to try, maybe I'll put all those things I "Pin" to good use. Tonight is a tomato bacon soup and honey ham for supper. I know I'll like it all, but tomatoes to my husband and kids is like a four letter word. Wish me luck! Oh and no picture sorry!

Day 2 at Chateau Beck
If you haven't ever tried this Chili Lime Sansel by Epicure I highly recommend it - and it's salt free. I learned that the name is salt free en francais, I was only somewhat embarrassed when I asked if it was salt free because I had actually just said "hmm sel is french for salt".

Day #1 - Carriere House
So. So. So Excited to try this challenge again!
Day #1 is boring as I am in desperate need of groceries!! Usually I use red peppers in this recipe as the vegetable, however the only thing I had available was a bag of fresh mushrooms and 1/2 of a green pepper. It didn't taste bad, however I do enjoy the orignal version much more. This is a go to meal for us and usually have it 2-3 times a month. I will for sure be making the original version again before the month is over and will definately post the recipe then!!

Day 1 at Chateau Beck
Nothing terribly exciting. Lazy Cabbage Casserole with fresh veggies and dip.
Aaron and I are looking forward to this challenge - the boys, not so much. Both boys just kind of pushed it around on their plates and filled up on veggies.
You win some, you lose some!

Hijack!
Hey Everyone!
I was inspired by the Oprah show to do a week of eating meatless food. Oprah and her staff did total vegetarian, but I'd like to include the milk and eggs and cheese. So I think we should try it the week of April 10th to the 17. I thought we could hijack this blog to post some of our good vegetarian finds.
Who's with me?

Monthly Round Up
Feb 23rd: Fish and Chips. I LOVE superstore. They have great products and we eat a lot of them. We really enjoyed the Haddock and Hops they have there for our fish and chips. But as luck would have it when I wanted to buy it they didn't have any. But what they did have was the blue menu fish/haddock. So I thought I'd give it a try as I usually like the blue menu stuff. In fact if you open our freezer there is a lot of blue in it, blue meatballs, frozen dinners and chicken fingers. These fish fillets will now be added to the list. They were very tasty and as the blue menu implies, they were also healthier for us then the Haddock and Hops.
Feb 24: Oma's Birthday, so we had our favorite Oma dinner, Stomput Spinazzi. A classic meal.
Feb 25: I worked, so the boys had a Sobey's chicken and I had leftover peanut butter chicken
Feb 26:
Feb 27: Appetizer Smorsgasbord. A friend of mine mentioned they did this the other day and I thought it was a great idea. So we had nachos and vegetable spring rolls. The kids thought it was great to have a meal where no utensils were required.
Feb 28: Roast Beef Dinner. This is the meal we have had the most this month. It must be winter. I love how colorful this meal is. And I love pickled beets which is my favorite thing to have with roast beef.
So the eat at home challenge is done - thank goodness. I don't think I realized anything any different then our other eat at home challenges, but it was a good way to get me back on track with taking lunches. Not eating out for a whole month is a challenge. I failed the challenge back in the middle of the month on a Saturday when I went out to lunch with my best friend from highschool and then had a girls night out and drank and ate. Other then that one day though I was good.
Did anyone meet the challenge and not eat out for a whole month?
