A Few Days of Meals-and some Great News!

I can’t call this a true Menu Monday post, because our budget is so tight this week that we only purchased groceries for Sunday, today, and tomorrow. Chris will have to go out Wednesday after he gets paid and buy food for the rest of this week.  I won’t be here so I don’t know [...]

Four Foods on Friday #64

Here are this week’s questions:

#1. What’s the oddest thing you’ve ever made with bread?

I don’t think it’s weird, but the Deli Sandwich Ring recipe that I posted was certainly different than anything I’d done before. #2. What’s the oddest thing you’ve ever done with mac and cheese or pasta?

I needed something that would provide moisture and flavor, so I used Country Bob’s All Purpose Sauce instead. You can [...]

Sweet ‘n’ Tangy Pot Roast

I saw this recipe linked on I’m an Organizing Junkie‘s Menu Monday post for last week, and after clicking through to read the recipe, it sounded so good I decided to make it today.  It’s in the crockpot right now, so I’ll have to post again to let you know how it turned out!  The [...]

Emerald Forest is Naturally Sweet
