This was a really good week, especially for cost! A few meals were taken care of, but I'm starting to realize that there is always something going on that allows for a free meal to take place. Maybe it's just the season, or luck...but whatever-there's no reason to complain, or say no to, a free meal. There just aren't many things left that are free these days, and when it comes to food I just feel thankful to have it at all.

I still seem to be falling a bit short in the milk group at times, as well as in oils. Next week, I want to try and work on those two areas especially. I guess I just don't eat that many oil containing foods. Maybe I can step it up a bit by adding more nuts, or even peanut butter to my daily routine.
