So, I haven't posted in a loooong while..mainly because I slid back into a bit of a depression and when Mama's down, Mama doesn't cook. I'm wondering if it's a chicken and egg thing, though, because a chaotic environment brings me down, and I won't cook in a messy kitchen. My kitchen happens to be in my bedroom since I have the living/dining/kitchen area of a little mother-in-law suite for my bedroom.

In any case, a big decision I have just made has resurrected my little project here. I joined Weight Watchers. So, grabbing take out several days a week isn't going to be happening much here now, and as long as I am cooking, I will be posting. As an added bonus, not only are you going to get budget and family friendly meal ideas, but they will also be healthy. I tried doing that all along, but it certainly wasn't the focus and now, well, it will be.

I have a pal who is going to be doing WW with me, Chrissi. She blogs at www.Tres-Hearts.com and tweets under @tres-hearts. (We're both so consistent, aren't we? lol) We are going to be keeping a blog together, so please check it out: FromNickelsToDimes.blogspot.com
