Week 2, Day 1

So I know I promised today would be better as far as far as actually making food for our meals but it was General Conference day 2 and neither Paul nor I feel very well.
Last night I was going thinking about what we were going to eat today and I remembered that we had some frozen Rhode's Roll Dough in the freezer that had probably expired not too long ago (it's a pain to remember to defrost the darn things in time so I almost never use them) and decided to make something my mom made a for Christmas brunch a couple times- pull aparts.
Pull-aparts are super easy and since I purchased the rolls for a steal on some sort of manager's special for $2.09 several months back, they're cheap too. The rolls came in a bag of 36 and I only needed 18 for the recipe (luckily that's exactly how many I had left otherwise they would have continued to take up high-priority real estate for who knows how long), so I'm counting it as a cost of $1.05.
Here's what the Pull-Aparts worked out to be:

18 frozen rolls ($1.05)

1/2 cup Brown sugar ($0.11)
Vanilla Pudding Mix ($0.34)
1 stick Margarine- on sale at Kroger ($0.50)
Pull-Aparts Total: $2.00

For some reason I remember liking these a lot better when I ate them on Christmas morning. Since we didn't like them, we only ate half. I would eat the second half as future breakfasts but I think you can see that they are waaaay too calorie rich and I'd rather waste calories on rice pudding or milk. They did look really nice though:

Tonight since we didn't feel well, Paul had a can of Progresso Soup. I added a little Accent and some black and red pepper to make it a little less canned soupy and that was that. I would have had a can too but I'm still not hungry after lunch (see, chock full of calories!) and my throat hurts.

Here's today's totals:

Breakfast: $0.46 (4 pieces of toast with Jam and 2 plain)
Brunch/Lunch: $2.00
Dinner: $1.24

Day 1 Total: $3.70

For the price of the Pull-Aparts I do wish that we'd gotten more out of them but such is life.
