Great list! Hosting a book club sounds fun. What's the "eat for a $1 a day" thing? Inquiring minds wanna know...

Jessica said...

Moriah, here's the link: http://onedollardietproject.wordpress.com/
I can't find it, but somewhere is their day to day blog of what they ate on $1 a day. Maybe they took off all the posts so you have to buy the book?

When you're ready to make a pie, I have the best pie crust recipe, and it's super easy (as long as you have a food processor). And I also have lots of filling recipes. :) I'll make a pie post if you have a request.

Jessica said...

OOooh yes Jes, please share the pie crust recipe as well as a pie post. Hmmm, I'm not sure what kind of pie I want to make. Go classic...apple?

I love that your shared your mental to-do list so we can all feel better with ours! I also have #8 & 9 on my list, #17 sounds great and I want to be a part of it,. # 19 is an easy one to get crossed off we should have a baking day and make apple and berry, baking with other women just feels that much more satisfying. & #22, there are some great salsa classes in santa rosa. It's so much fun!
