Sol's cooking class

A few of us went to Sol's cooking seminar last Friday night. Although he underestimated the number of people coming and the amount of food to make, the stuff we did eat was awesome. I think we all liked it because the foods were made from scratch just using whole foods, the dishes were quick and easy to make, and they tasted good. Megan and I made the squash once already. We've also been eating lots more salad. It has been refreshing for us to discover/rediscover how good salads and simple dishes like the squash and sweet potato are. I made a really good dessert by taking frozen blackberries and dates, heating them up, blending them and then mixing in pecans.
Megan and I are also excited because we've started to get in a routine of buying groceries every Tuesday. We started out spending about $80 to $90 a week but are down to $55 this week since we bought much more raw fruits, vegetables, beans, and bulk foods and less processed, prepackaged meals. We are also saving lots of money because we haven't been going out to eat much.
