that's a feast! :)
i love everything on that plate..
rather than making applesauce i bought a jar
yesterday at the store. looking forward to
applesauce with toast.
we have a food budget and i try to spend
less than the budget and sometimes i succeed.
the $ saved goes into a canning jar for a
rainy day.
Here's my tip and no, I'm not kidding...use smaller sized dinner plates to make the meal look like a lot more. It's a good thing to do when dieting as well.
great idea about the smaller plates - we do the same.
