I had to make a trip out of the house today, so I decided to stop at just a few places to look for some household items we are running low on. I just thought I’d chat with you guys for a few minutes about what I saw, and what I found.

We are heading into our third week eating from the multi-week grocery haul I posted a while back. We’re trying to be good stewards of everything we have, so I’m trying to use some things up in our kitchen and get creative with what we have!

Hey, guys! I know the world is turned upside down right now, but I’m doing my best to stay on plan enough days that I can maintain through this! Everybody liked the crockpot chicken spaghetti I made, and it came out to 3SP on purple, and 7SP on blue or green when it serves 6 (I used 1/3 less fat cream cheese and whole wheat spaghetti)!

This video is just a little bland and a lot shorter than normal. I feel like it’s important to be transparent, though, and I think days like this happen to us all!

Hi, friends! I debated whether or not to post this because things are changing so rapidly every day. I noticed on their website that due to demand, orders are shipping out later. I placed a Butcher Box order before we found ourselves in our present situation. However, perhaps it’s helpful to share for future reference for somebody, or for planning ahead.

Here’s my referral code: http://fbuy.me/oSY36
Right now, it’s for $30 off your first order, and I would get $30 off as well. I’ll be honest, I’m not sure how many times it can be used, but I’m leaving it here just in case!
