I have convinced Greg that we need to eat better, so I've been kind of doing a Mediterranean diet- Less meat more fresh fruits and veggies. That's not to say we won't eat unhealthy ever (because I love my white sauce made with heavy cream) but we will be having that stuff much less frequently.
So we made this today

We grilled our chicken and it was fabulous. In fact, we had 3 people come out and ask us what we were making haha! This website below is where we got the recipe from and she has tons more :o)
I made more laundry detergent the other day, but instead of using ivory soap I used Fels Naptha and I also added in some purex crystals for more smell. The cost of this stuff comes out to .03 cents per load. Cheap my friends. Very cheap and very good stuff :o)
