As many of you know, the bloggers were on a break for a little while. They came back right about the time I left for vacation so if you’ll allow me, I am playing catch up. This is the promised grocery list for March 1st through 9th. You can look forward to another list at the end of this week!
Earlier this morning I posted an introduction to this new feature. I hope that it is useful and you enjoy it! Please feel free to leave comments below!
Tidbits: Don’t forget to check out the Best Peanut Butter in the World from the Peanut Butter Company! Definitely avoid getting the cod this week. Learn how to make a cheesecake perfectly every time and check out one of the cheesecake recipes at Families.com! You may also want to add a healthful punch to your week’s menu and pick up some wild rice. And here’s some food for thought: whose responsibility is it to watch what we eat?
