Before we get to Today's Small Thing, let me announce the winner of the Starbucks gift card:
Tracey (Pink Monkey) at Aloha Monkey! Congratulations, Tracey...email me with your address and enjoy a cup or two of coffee on me!
Did you get to read all the great money saving tips in the comments and coffee links from Friday? I hope you'll take a few minutes to get all the way through the links...they were all inspiring! Melissa even had to pop back in for a second round of coffee to get her awesome tips in!
Now, all that frugal inspiration made me realize I could take a few more steps to save some dough for my family. One of the best things I'm considering is getting rid of my phone land line...using more grocery coupons, and making my own bread. Notice how most things in this world come back to food? Yeah, I noticed that, too.
Speaking of food, since Monday is often the day that many of us get our recipes together for the week, I thought I'd challenge all of us to try a new recipe.
Don't panic! You don't have to try and come up with something TODAY!
But sometime this week, before next Monday, our Small Thing will be to create some kind of culinary delight that you have never tried before. I don't know about you, but if earning some points will get me out of my skillet rut, I'm all over that. A great place to start looking for something fabulous to cook is at Menu Plan Monday.
POINTS: 40 for trying a new recipe
ADDITIONAL 20: for posting your recipe on your blog or in the comments. If you blog about it, be sure and let us know so we can see what recipe you rounded up! You can do it any time this week.
