Couponing

I have found a new hobby, it is so addicting, and I can't get enough. One of my first cool deals was from Walgreen's.

I got...

2 boxes of General Mills cereal

2 big bags of Twizzlers licorice

2 bags of M&M's

The new Tide stain remover 20oz bottle

all for $1.37!

I saved over $19.00. All with coupons and sale items. It is so fun, and easy! Check out the button on my sidebar, that has been the key. There is so much great information out there to help you find the good deals.

Mom's recipes

I will admit, when I first got married I was a little offended when Dave would suggest a recipe that he had growing up. I know, bad. But I have changed! Now I welcome all the wonderful things his Mom made. She is a great cook!

One of my favorites is her homemade granola, or better known in the Lindsey family as

"Good Earth".

We eat it up so fast, I make it once a week.

Pigs in a blanket

I think every kid growing up in the 70's remembers school lunch and pigs in a blanket. I started doing them for the kids when Dave was reminiscing about his school lunch lady and how she made everything there in the school kitchen. That's just one thing that has changed about school lunch.

So, what I do is just make my Lion House roll recipe and instead of rolling the dough into rolls, I roll hot dogs. The kids (and Dave) love them. With homemade french fries it is a great dinner.

Oh and for dessert...

Cinnamon rolls. I have to use the left over dough for something.

* Helpful hint: If you do not have any powdered sugar for the frosting. Put the same amount of sugar in a blender and blend until it turns into powder.
