#54:Buy A Blender & #46: Start a Budget

Ever since I moved/changed jobs, my budgeting and saving plan went down the toilet.
Mostly due in part to a significant drop in my finances. I know this is not a good excuse, but for the most part I was scared to look at my bank account....not seeing is not believing. That is my motto.

But now that I am back to where I was, I can safely budget again. The hardest part about having a little bit more money, is knowing you have some leeway; meaning if I go over budget about $10...not going to sink my ship.

But when unexpected things happen...such as: Your Cell phone company decides you need a data plan because you got a smart phone, and charges you an extra $45 on your bill....

You'll find that that little $10 is suddenly a lot!

So my goal is too NOT go over budget.

#54 - Anndd I broke down and bought a blender, so I could have smoothies for breakfast, so I can keep on #whateverNoThatIs eating breakfast daily. Which is something I have a hard time doing. Strawberries and Peaches are freezing as I type. Yummys!!

#86 - Practiced for 20 minutes today

Baked Ravioli

INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

* 1 pound ground beef
* 1/2 (25 ounce) package frozen cheese ravioli
* 1 (14 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce
* 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
* 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
* 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
* 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
2. Crumble the ground beef into a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir until no longer pink. Drain grease, then stir in the spaghetti sauce and tomatoes.
3. Spread 1/3 of the sauce in the bottom of an 11x7 inch baking dish. Arrange 1/2 of the ravioli over the sauce. Sprinkle 1/2 of the mozzarella cheese and 1/2 of the Monterey Jack cheese over the ravioli. Repeat layers, ending with the last of the sauce on top. Cover with aluminum foil.
4. Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the top before serving.

*Not a Tomato fan, so used onions instead...I know not exactly a "perfect" trade off, but I liked it better :D*

And I did two layers of this, turned out quite good IMO.
