This is a favorite side around here. We just love it beyond what words could describe. It is super easy to make and is also really quick for those nights when you need to throw something together for the family or to impress unexpected guests. I ALWAYS keep several cans of carrots on hand just [...]
When I make this bread it gets really quiet around my house. That means I make it often! Quiet around this place is SACRED! Usually there is a dull roar. But a roar none-the-less. And at times it is louder around here than a rock concert. So if I make something where everyone just sits around [...]
Iron Skillet Pork Chops With Muscadine Glaze
Recently when I was at the National Cornbread Festival I came across a booth that was selling Muscadine Juice. Not wine…JUICE! I was so thrilled…and then I tasted it. OhhhMyStinkinHeck, that is the best stuff I think I have ever put in my mouth. As a kid I can remember being at my grandparents house [...]
Today’s Mom and The Seagate Slim (GIVEAWAY)
“Thanks to Seagate for supplying product for giveaway and some of the information in this post.” I have been a Mother for 22 years. Saying that out loud just seems absurd to me. It is so hard to fathom that I have a 22 year old and a 15 year old child. Think of the [...]
We were all out washing cars yesterday afternoon and as we were cleaning out the inside of my car I took my coupon binder out and casually mentioned to Bric that I sure wished there was a coupon for gas.
He reached in his pocket and said that he had one for one gallon if I would like to have it….
Every time I go to the grocery store I get THAT LOOK. Erin and I took a trip to Kroger’s tonight. It is always comical to watch the people in the line behind me when I am checking out. Once they see me pull out all my coupons you can see them get forehead wrinkles and the look on their face has that “Oh Goodness, I got behind the wrong person” look. Then, once all is said and done and my final total comes up the look of awe and surprise is priceless!
I just look at them smugly as my total goes down, down, down. And I smile bigger and bigger. It may be a pain to those who do not coupon…but for us, it has saved our budget 10 times over. My total tonight before any savings was $184.12 after all coupons and savings it was $38.77. Yep, I smiled pretty big as I walked out with my haul. My wallet smiled even bigger!
