Plus, you get the wonderful taste of homemade bread and the fantastic smell in the kitchen as well. Have you thought of hiding veggies in food? You can hide onions in marinara sauce. You can make your own and put it in the food processor so he doesn't know they were ever there.

You see my husband is a big bread eater and we go through about 3 to 4 loafs a week. so as i started making it from scratch he liked my bread much better. the trouble ive had is getting him to eat more vegis. but other than that 50 dollars a week is very doableAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5829567578974466305.post-85075256324987459672012-09-27T07:42:09.346-06:002012-09-27T07:42:09.346-06:00How many people are you feeding on that amount?

But, if I wanted to, I would cut back on something else. I can get most of the things I want, but just need to do it a little at a time.

There is a tab at the top of our website, but it is a work that is still in progress.
