We'd had very little food in the house, and hadn't had much time to get more. We kind of needed almost everything at this point. After the bad news we received Friday afternoon, and a long day at work, I was just too physically and emotionally exhausted to do a lot of shopping.
We got the following items at QFC:
3 boxes of cereal ($1.88 each) $5.64
Belvita breakfast cookies (Free Friday Download) $0.00
Lindt white chocolate peppermint truffles $1.65
Diet root beer $1.69
3 lbs clementines $4.99
Red Baron taco pizza $3.50
Total $17.64
In the morning before work I had also bought a banana for $.32 and an Odwalla protein drink for $2.50.
Breakfast: Odwalla vanilla chai protein
Lunch: cheese pizza, banana
Dinner: taco pizza
Snacks/desserts: brownie, white chocolate peppermint truffles
Beverages: water, a little diet root beer

New year starting off with some exciting news
For the last month I have been trying to locate my husband's mother, who has not seen him since he was under a year old. This morning I got a voicemail from someone who said she had been located and that she would love to talk to him. He is from one of the towns she grew up in, and runs an alumni page for the town's school. I hated sent the page a message a few weeks ago.
Jeremy hasn't spoken with him, or with his mother yet. He says he needed a bit of time. He did send the man a Facebook message tonight, and plans to call him soon. I am hoping this turns out to be a good thing.
Today we bought the following groceries:
2 pack of single serve frozen cheese pizzas $3.00
1 banana $.26
1/2 gallon of milk $1.50
8 oz shredded fiesta blend cheese $1.99
Broccoli $.88
Total $7.63
Breakfast: walnut brownie (I made them last night)
Lunch: cheese pizza, banana
Dinner: Mac and cheese with tuna and broccoli
Snacks/desserts: another brownie
Beverages: water

Jeremy met me after work and we walked to QFC. We bought pretty much everything else we'll need to get us through the end of the month. Tonight Winter is going to help me make a hu-normous pot of vegetable soup. I also got some broccoli and cheese to make chicken, pasta, and broccoli with cheese sauce.

Yesterday I worked at the airport early in the morning. I had to get up at 6 am after getting home around 11 with Winter, and not getting to bed until after midnight. Winter made some raspberry jam and brought a jar with her, so I had that on my sandwich for lunch. Winter helped me make a pizza from scratch for dinner. I mixed some garlic and Italian seasoning into a little bit of the turkey sausage from the freezer to top it with.
Breakfast: vanilla Petite Creme
Lunch: peanut butter sandwich with Winter's homemade raspberry jam, banana
Dinner: pizza topped with mozzarella, green bell peppers, and Italian seasoned turkey sausage.
Snacks: snickerdoodle ice cream with goat milk caramel sauce
Beverages, iced coffee with simple syrup and cream, water, Coke Zero
For the big surprise I took Jeremy and Winter to see To Be Takei at the SIFF Cinema Uptown in Queen Anne. They are both huge fans of George Takei. It was a really great documentary. I cried a couple of times. It's about his relationship with Brad, his experience in the Japanese American internment camp during WWII, and his acting career, plus his political and social activism. Winter was the only one there who wasn't an adult, which was kind of funny to me. I think this movie was pretty appropriate for pre-teens on up at least.
Our only spending yesterday was on an iced coffee for me at the airport, which was $3.00 with tax and tip, and on a large Coke Zero at the theater. A jaw-dropping $5.50. I am sort of fine with that though since it is a small independent local theater.

Chicken Fajita Pizza
I used this recipe to make the crust, but I put the bowl in a warmed oven while prepping the toppings so it could rise a little. I also reduced the salt to 1/4 t, and I used powdered sugar instead of granulated since that was what I had. The yeasts like it just fine.
For the sauce I mixed 1 T chili powder, 2 cloves of garlic, and 1/2 T cumin in with 7 oz of tomato sauce.
Rub 4 oz of chicken breast with chili powder, and grill for a few minutes. Let it cool, then shred. It's ok if it's slightly undercooked. It will cook the rest of the way in the oven, and you don't want it to overcook and get dry. Cut 1 bell pepper into strips. I used the other halves of one red and one yellow pepper used in last night's tacos.
Spread the sauce evenly over the pizza crust, and top with pieces of chicken and pepper, then cover with 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, and a dash of red pepper flakes.
Bake for 15 minutes at 450 degrees, and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before cutting.
I made this pizza in the morning before work, then covered it with plastic wrap and put it in the fridge, so when I got home we just had to toss it in the oven. That gave the crust time to rise a little more too, but it really doesn't need to. I've made this crust before and baked it immediately and it was good, just not as puffy.
I cut it into 12 pieces. Nutrition info is for 1/12th of the pizza.
