I took the teens for breakfast prior to our routine Walmart run this weekend ..and except for a simple combination of eggs and toast , there's really nothing interesting on the long list of fancy omelette selection from the restaurant.
For the last 3 months, our grocery bill averages at approximately $900++/month and I need to reevaluate some of my menu choices so I can reduce the Walmart bill next month- -Yikes.
Anyway, I'm craving for a cupcake...and I am skipping the chocolate ganache frosting as I took the whip cream off my list earlier (saved me $3). Hmmm..house smells like chocolate now and good call on skipping the frosting as this tastes so good as is.
