Veggie Meal-Maker is participating with about 30 other blogs in Project: Food Budget. Follow along as we share food goals, food budgets, and meal-planning strategies. Week 8 updates below:
GOAL: $65
ACTUAL: $62.87 Plus $5 at the Farmers Market
SIZE OF FAMILY: 3 - Nick & Shae (parents) and Paisley (14 months)
FOOD GOALS: This weeks number 1 food goal was to stay within our budget. Shae is officially a stay at home mommy (more on this here) and gets her last check the end of this month so we are down to a skinnier budget. A second necessity this week was getting food I could blend up since my mouth is healing from getting my wisdom teeth ripped out.

Veggie Meal-Maker is participating with about 30 other blogs in Project: Food Budget. Follow along as we share food goals, food budgets, and meal-planning strategies. Week 7 updates below:
GOAL: $75
ACTUAL: $76.68
SIZE OF FAMILY: 3 - Nick & Shae (parents) and Paisley (14 months)
FOOD GOALS: #1Keep dining out to a minimum (end of school year busyness makes dining out temptations all the more strong). Solution: easy, healthy dinners. #2Begin weaning ourselves off a $100 a week budget down to eventually $50 per week. (Shae is staying home with Paisley so we need to trim some fat from the budget). #3Test several recipes this week and MAKE Paisley's baby food ($1 jars add up quick!).

Welcome to Project: Food Budget!
Veggie Meal-Maker is participating, along with roughly 30 other blogs, in a weekly challenge called Project: Food Budget. Each Thursday we will feature a different family (Nick, Trina or Krystle) sharing our food goals, our food budgets and an update on our meal-planning week. The goal is to give you a window into how different families manage their weekly meals. Your budget may be much higher or lower than ours, but you're sure to gain some insight as you follow along with Project: Food Budget!
