Wow! It is May! I hate to be cliché, but where is the time going? I can’t say I am unhappy about being in May, though. After living in Seattle for 13 years, I am looking forward to our first true Spring and Summer in Central Oregon, where sunshine abounds. Bring on the sun!
This week was a little different for us, as we had a weekender to Eugene for the half marathon I ran, and then I did Jay Robb’s fruit flush for the first half of this week. The verdict on the fruit flush was that it was pretty do-able, though at a certain point I was over fruit! While the flush promises you could lose up to 9 pounds in 3 days, I netted out exactly the same. But, I feel good, so I would recommend it as a nice way to hit the reset button.
Total for the week: $75.22
Total for the month: $337.42
Goal for the month: $350
Menu for the Week:
Fruit, fruit, fruit – and veggies.
We have a couple of crazy travel weeks coming up, but after that I am set on getting back on the menu bandwagon again. The time will come!

Yay, great budgeting this month. I’m sooo sooo looking forward to spring too. Our rhubarb will probably be ready in a few days, and a local farm is offering local asparagus, as well as a bunch of lovely veggies from closeby in NJ.
Hey, I was glancing at the TJ’s flyer for the month, and laughed when I saw this product
cookie butter!! from real cookies! Talk about decadent and lovely! I won’t be buying it, but it does sound yummy.
Hah, yes, 2Chili has been asking me what this “cookie butter” is for a while. We aren’t planning to try it but it is all the rage in bicycling circles – apparently the cyclists love it!
I noticed the Bend produce stand opened this week so I am planning to head down there this weekend and see what is ready. Probably not rhubarb or asparagus yet, but I am sure they will have something enticing! Have a good weekend!
