Tonight I decided to try something new for dinner. A friend of mine gave me a new recipe and I have been dying to try it all week! When I got off work I went straight to the grocery store and got everything I needed. I ended up buying too many spices ( I couldn't remember what I did and did not have so I just bought everything) so I over bought by about $10. I bought enough to double the recipe and the total was $32.
