My husband and I realized that we buy more food than we need for the week. Not too much more, I'm talking like a bunch of spinach we don't use or Rice-a-Roni that stays in our pantry for too long (when they're $ .50 or less it's hard to resist). Our weekly budget for food is $40, but we usually check out at $45. We get most of our produce at Henry's Farmers Market, but this week there wasn't much for sales so we went over. But I do have eggplant and Tomato Basil Rotini to still make leftover from last week. I'm thinking of making them for lunches this week.

I regularly cook with dried beans and lentils. My only tip is allow LOTS of time to cook properly.
Here is a soup recipe for you, btw.

$40 a week??? That's it?! What is your secret? Good luck with that soup, I haven't cooked with dried beans in years so I'm no help! Congrats on the baby on the way! :o)
sounds great and i'm impressed with your food budget too!
I work on events for Henry's and have some extra coupons that need to be used ($5 off purchases of $20 or more)before they expire at the end of February. Email me if you're interested and I'll be happy to send them to good homes.
