WHEW! Busy weekend. Tons of cleaning and cooking for my in laws, who came over yesterday for dinner. Salem's father is Moroccan, so I wanted to prepare a traditional Moroccan meal. I made Lamb Tagine, Cucumber Raita (a yogurt based salad), and Moroccan style cous cous. It was a huge hit!!! His dad even had THIRDS. So I was happy.
I guess all that cleaning and cutting up veggies and running up and down the stairs over and over doing multiple loads of laundry counted as exercise because I lost weight! For the first time in YEARS I am under 140, at 139.4 this morning!
Friday night I tried my hand at Pad Thai. It would have been AWESOME... except I screwed up the noodles. I guess I didn't let them soak long enough so they were still hard and we just basically separated all the chicken and sauce out and ate it and scrapped the noodles. Oh well I learned and will do better next time. :)
I am also excited because once I put in my capital loss in my tax return it dropped my AGI to the point where I qualified for a $2,000 educational deduction. Now I'm getting a refund that I'm happy about! Of course, it will be going straight into the Wedding Savings Account.
My sister-in-law told me about a cool savings/coupon website that I wanted to share with my fellow minded food shoppers on here. She actually got PAID money back she was so good with combining coupons. The lady's site she uses is Hip 2 Save.
THREE THINGS I'M GRATEFUL FOR TODAY:
1) Tax refunds
2) Family time
3) Finally being in the 130's
Have a great Monday friends!
