The Frugal Girl

Zoe got off of work at 8:30 so she just got a fast food chicken sandwich. To back up: Zoe wasn’t feeling well, so I offered to bake a frozen pizza for her. I used chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts again this time, and it worked great. What We Ate Saturday I’d eaten a late lunch and wasn’t hungry.

Tuesday I was out all day for legal happenings, and I ate some food my lawyer brought.
