But Hubby and I are staying strong! And I must say, we are loving having more veggies in our diet. We spent $30 on veggies alone at the Farmer's Market the other day! Meanwhile, we are just going to take it easy this weekend as we have a bunch of busier weekends ahead of us!
In other news, our new coffee table made it in this morning!
I also found this blog that offers a free calendar of fresh available food depending on the time of year!
So I know what you are probably wondering... Where are the recipes? Well here are Days 3 & 4 of the Challenge, plus our Saturday Morning Breakfast!
Every time I make a whole chicken, I am amazed at how easy it is, as well as how good it tastes!
This dinner was absolutely amazing. Of course the star ingredient was the homemade Hollandaise Sauce:
1. Whisk together 3 egg yolks
2. Cook over a double boiler, but make sure it is not too hot or the egg will cook too fast. You want the eggs to stay runny. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
3. Stir in a stick (1/2 a cup) of butter, but make sure eggs are off of heat
4. Add salt, pepper, & lemon to taste
Hope you guys are off having a lovely weekend! Who is ready for some football???

I'm impressed you've done so much! I wouldn't be able to!
Aren't new coffee tables THE best? And thanks for sharing your potato recipe--I'll have to try it sometime without the ham (I'm a complete vegetarian). Happy Monday!
I love this challenge you're doing! I try to stay as fresh as possible, but usually I just don't have the time to keep it up!

thanks for the great recipes!
I've been really enjoying these foodie posts girl! I'm actually writing my grocery list for tomorrow, so many choices from here!
My diet has changed dramtically since moving to Greece - lots of GM free fruit & veg and better meat too!

p.s thanks again for the award angel.
Oooh fun recipes!
You two are really strong.. I don't think me and my husband could do that :)
I love the idea of this challenge, though I hate to say I do not think I couldn't go out to eat for 30 days! I seriously applaud you and the hubs for being so committed to this - and all those recipes sound delicious. I think it's great that people are doing things like this - it definitely reduces your carbon footprint by SO much, and is definitely so much healthier! I've never felt better since becoming a vegetarian - so seriously, keep up the great work, girl! xox
Carrot and zucchini muffins sound delish! Keep up the good work :)
ooh, that season produce calendar is a wonderful idea. thanks for the link! i try to use as many local/seasonal ingredients as possible, so that'll come in very handy. yay!
