Hi bug, Thanks for helping me get out of victim mode in my thinking.
I've been googling blackstrap - and I'm amazed at its healthy properties. I've never heard of it before.
Re the salads and beans - I have been feeding the kids these two - so much so that they are starting to arc up : "Not again!".
They want to go back to the old steak days - they were both big meat-eaters. Two years without a steak is taking its toll on them. These days however, they are very price conscious. I heard D17 telling XH that she wouldn't go out to dinner with him when he offered a steak because, at $22 a steak, she could buy food for our dinners for a week.
So, another positive here. My kids know how to budget and save. Thanks again for getting me back on track.
