I am actually enjoying cooking, I just hope that this keeps up. </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhy0bhYgrGTemu9fXTBguoWJWWT2JhfRQEFLqF3iUamstJNsKB_mCorDiQ_nHCSCUAgXSp1TJHBPtO7IwqXf6MbVKITgR2DyEDmK1HYedu5JHtnPsZhXvoTnY_K8fjpcvF7XGvA68d9SR99zqZg8h3wKFsN2tDDYZ5aExzsWc7vBxoTtWx4j_5zJHOr=s4000" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="3000" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhy0bhYgrGTemu9fXTBguoWJWWT2JhfRQEFLqF3iUamstJNsKB_mCorDiQ_nHCSCUAgXSp1TJHBPtO7IwqXf6MbVKITgR2DyEDmK1HYedu5JHtnPsZhXvoTnY_K8fjpcvF7XGvA68d9SR99zqZg8h3wKFsN2tDDYZ5aExzsWc7vBxoTtWx4j_5zJHOr=s320" width="240" /></a></span></div><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;"><br /></span><p></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;"></p><div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;">3) Blog More- this week I only managed the blog entries on Sunday, but this coming week I do have Ideas for things I would like to write.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;"><span style="font-size: medium;">4) To Do List- I did make 6 different doctor appointments and completed some cleaning of the garage. </span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;">5) Game TIme- Didn't get any games in, but we are having family dinner again on Tuesday so we should be able to play a quick game. </span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;"></p><div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;"><span style="font-size: medium;">6) Personal Goals - </span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;"><span style="font-size: medium;">a) Get Up and Move- I did work at a kitchen one day, worked in the garage and also did some outdoor stuff since it was so nice out.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;"><span style="font-size: medium;">b) Drink More Water- DIdn't do so great at this goal this week, will make more of effort in the coming week.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;"><span style="font-size: medium;">c) Fast Food- Only one day, and even felt a little guilty, </span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;"><span style="font-size: medium;">7) Clean Kitchen before bed- I have been doing great at this, so I am adding another habit.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;">7-2) Make my bed every morning - If I can get in the habit of clean kitchen before bed i can do the same for making the bed in the morning.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;">8) Garden- Just some pick up, need to order seeds and a mini green house to get things planted. </p>Margeryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02540871605187492841noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7097537608574938543.post-37813769672454890672022-01-23T10:55:00.001-05:002022-01-23T11:07:59.779-05:00Pizza Making<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Let's talk about pizza. We have pizza about once a week and have done so for more than 20 years.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">It hasn't always been a pretty experience, just ask my kids. They can tell you some good stories like the gooey pizza or the day the pizza made mom cry.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"> We have done many different things over the years for pizza night. They include ordering pizza which gets pricy quick, english muffin pizza which always seems more like a lunch then a dinner. Then there was french bread pizza a step in the right direction. There were the times we tried to make dough from scratch, that didn't go well for many years but every so often we would try again. One thing that did work when we had the freezer space was buying par baked pizza crusts by the case from Sam's Club. We used to get them from the bakery department.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Then finally we managed to make pizza dough at home, and turn it into a delicious pizza. I think splitting the jobs is what made it work. I made the dough, but the actual rolling and making of the pizza was someone else's job. This was our son Conner's job at about age 12, and once he went to college Aidan took over at about the same age.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Does the pizza come out perfect each time no it doesn't, sometimes the crust gets a little crispy, or the dough doesn't roll out just right. But that is ok, we learn something new each time we make it, it's a team project and we have fun doing it. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Now that Conner and Shadow live locally again they come home one day a week to make pizza and do laundry. I make the dough, but since I work full time outside the house I make the dough in large batches about once a month and freeze. </span></p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiphKcK6SS_fZfMlLgW6iWZqZVQJjM22QYOYGTn0afFBl1l9y-J1dU5PJaEx1Z78MSFiY5fPCE7ETLXHhNjJa9fKENdumeG3T-EX5heuvTNji82_enfqUAMEZeY3gM2-UhvHE5qizdQrfbpeIZQ8bWr0gQVN9AR6lUXStDF9D5NZzRutOiAhr0HT3A8=s1280" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="720" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiphKcK6SS_fZfMlLgW6iWZqZVQJjM22QYOYGTn0afFBl1l9y-J1dU5PJaEx1Z78MSFiY5fPCE7ETLXHhNjJa9fKENdumeG3T-EX5heuvTNji82_enfqUAMEZeY3gM2-UhvHE5qizdQrfbpeIZQ8bWr0gQVN9AR6lUXStDF9D5NZzRutOiAhr0HT3A8=s320" width="180" /></span></a></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Here is the recipe that we use to make the dough:</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">2 cups warm tap water</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">2 tablespoons yeast</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">1 tablespoon sugar</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">2 tablespoons olive oil</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">1 teaspoon salt</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">All of these are placed in a bowl or I use my kitchen aide mixer.

Then the district added 2 more days off due to the amount of sickness making its way around. Of course our whole house ended up being added to those who were sick, so we also stayed home on Thursday and Friday. So there was no outside the home work, but there also wasn't much going on here at home as we rested and did what needed to be done to survive.</span></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">2) Menu Planning- Since we were home all week , the menu was followed.</span></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgNQfYveoDrYKL8SLc_MSJPg7NW0Qy7M7571ZlwqvfD5pZqTmAxR99zzwZ-BiFi03C9kN_NhYMVk5D4wAKC5mckFf8s9LxrgwqQUyrZm_UKqBFnJhWcWSCG7yFTnxsmzA0NafIFQUFVYtIIYNZoTeLPpBTlazegWaTJ1mad5_2g3J8vfYpa2KfLbSpX=s4000" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="3000" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgNQfYveoDrYKL8SLc_MSJPg7NW0Qy7M7571ZlwqvfD5pZqTmAxR99zzwZ-BiFi03C9kN_NhYMVk5D4wAKC5mckFf8s9LxrgwqQUyrZm_UKqBFnJhWcWSCG7yFTnxsmzA0NafIFQUFVYtIIYNZoTeLPpBTlazegWaTJ1mad5_2g3J8vfYpa2KfLbSpX=s320" width="240" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">3) Blog More- this week I managed to write 2 Blog entries, and take lots of naps.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">4) To Do List- Most days the list was to just feed the family, sleep and do one chore.

My husband is the best at rolling the egg rolls and I handle the pizza logs. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Due to the amount of work and the mess when we make them we do it in bulk, I think this time we did 75 egg rolls and 96 pizza logs.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi6-qUZnFfIXk28L4SLVGsqIwhw96e5iX0URu6ZBckX49ptwGHDI5oVAIxx8eYri-oS8IVE2xyd-z8zsO0Dl3UzKmIcEGc8Us9Xe2vkI_0jYe1_Hvj8yfOdbShStSNfDIG-4ILOtnqoPg9tgHwpok3NDQ1gJ803k9qeAX2O2x-anJ-6R8O0vowbPZOy=s4608" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4608" data-original-width="3456" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi6-qUZnFfIXk28L4SLVGsqIwhw96e5iX0URu6ZBckX49ptwGHDI5oVAIxx8eYri-oS8IVE2xyd-z8zsO0Dl3UzKmIcEGc8Us9Xe2vkI_0jYe1_Hvj8yfOdbShStSNfDIG-4ILOtnqoPg9tgHwpok3NDQ1gJ803k9qeAX2O2x-anJ-6R8O0vowbPZOy=s320" width="240" /></a></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">These are the wrappers that we use and they can be found in the freezer section of most Asian stores. If you can't find these the egg roll wrappers that you can find in the produce section of most major stores will also work, they will just look different and be a bit thicker.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">For the pizza logs, you will need string cheese cut in half the long way, pepperoni, and spring roll wrappers. You could also use any veggies you would add to a pizza. If you don't have string cheese you can use shredded mozzarella but I find that the string cheese works better.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The pizza logs are easy, one piece of cheese, 6 pepperoni on a spring wrapper and roll. Seal with a egg wash and then fry. I like to cook all of them before I freeze that way I only need to make a mess with frying oil once, but you can freeze them un- fried To reheat from frozen you can use the oven, air fryer, or even microwave. </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj4eADnIEbuWeiA1Uvdik5uL0CGy3XzAdal0pOzRFMk0m3nljQzwZy4xdYm--YKOnusIl8OQpWGpUkpcPqw8XKHHFXBza-_tUPCrKYgQMAYhsHy5H_mqmdRX9Yt1X2_P-NvwzMryww1PTe3YrQT60_58T6fGo4iXJkGaUmNJA6UAojhNrtnpFEnUTFz=s4608" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4608" data-original-width="3456" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj4eADnIEbuWeiA1Uvdik5uL0CGy3XzAdal0pOzRFMk0m3nljQzwZy4xdYm--YKOnusIl8OQpWGpUkpcPqw8XKHHFXBza-_tUPCrKYgQMAYhsHy5H_mqmdRX9Yt1X2_P-NvwzMryww1PTe3YrQT60_58T6fGo4iXJkGaUmNJA6UAojhNrtnpFEnUTFz=s320" width="240" /></span></a></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhXfYgiLKMfipe6jhVRKXe-oJRf2kFk0jsqGSpheHk2gM2Du4IADeWk25Fnvc61_TdYHt3SuipW84uNY56AGK8ZvoWewXIizbyBxJlatOj9mndQKG9e8cnniF7wbeabJ4qnFOTLPlMFdeYYSxGnlv4mmFwByLTgLZiiK7HKzzdAPcssOz_j7LAW7pic=s4608" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4608" data-original-width="3456" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhXfYgiLKMfipe6jhVRKXe-oJRf2kFk0jsqGSpheHk2gM2Du4IADeWk25Fnvc61_TdYHt3SuipW84uNY56AGK8ZvoWewXIizbyBxJlatOj9mndQKG9e8cnniF7wbeabJ4qnFOTLPlMFdeYYSxGnlv4mmFwByLTgLZiiK7HKzzdAPcssOz_j7LAW7pic=s320" width="240" /></span></a></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Serve with pizza sauce on the side for dipping them in.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgx2rqq46rJUNZW31BOy_m0v4yAhrSMf1cKNiX7s_2osSbvlzAsrcI_pH9ce4NdflIzN2WYlpQqMWhEgfbLZbFL-X65iLd3W1SEjiS3y1C6-WZXMUCPyTLKShSo8OkMG7GPXIbrWeR5nUZez9G7RCJfb6eJmizHJFTVKffzqquq6MxIiFlXUoEe6Dqg=s4608" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4608" data-original-width="3456" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgx2rqq46rJUNZW31BOy_m0v4yAhrSMf1cKNiX7s_2osSbvlzAsrcI_pH9ce4NdflIzN2WYlpQqMWhEgfbLZbFL-X65iLd3W1SEjiS3y1C6-WZXMUCPyTLKShSo8OkMG7GPXIbrWeR5nUZez9G7RCJfb6eJmizHJFTVKffzqquq6MxIiFlXUoEe6Dqg=s320" width="240" /></span></a></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">For the Chicken egg rolls, you will need ground chicken I used 2 pounds this time, 2 heads of cabbage sliced thin, a one pound of baby carrots chopped up in the mini food processor. I also like to season the mix with ginger and some oyster flavored sauce. Insead of cabbage and carrots you can use coleslaw mix.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Fry up the ground chicken in a bit of olive oil, remove from the pan. Add the cabbage and carrots and cook them down add the ginger and oyster sauce. Mix the cabbage mix with the chicken and let the mix cool.

Some things that we did to make sure this happened was to let everyone in the house know that we were going to play a game on Saturday and the time. </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhcKIB_EXWEjnm3K_2C0K6NMj36G1ANyQQROCAGvACXBcz7DyH1AALkwOT7gXELYHa1B1jNGPvVf4-ChDPTT3H_kbwkHSpzjozC3z5xL0K6WTuyNvGvULNEa0STHT8_sCWPlQwCALMfIHD0trcenC15k1grEWjYN6ak1l6hCWMNnZWA7O9Djc6Ucl6C=s1832" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="824" data-original-width="1832" height="144" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhcKIB_EXWEjnm3K_2C0K6NMj36G1ANyQQROCAGvACXBcz7DyH1AALkwOT7gXELYHa1B1jNGPvVf4-ChDPTT3H_kbwkHSpzjozC3z5xL0K6WTuyNvGvULNEa0STHT8_sCWPlQwCALMfIHD0trcenC15k1grEWjYN6ak1l6hCWMNnZWA7O9Djc6Ucl6C=s320" width="320" /></span></a></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">6) Personal Goals - </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">a) Get Up and Move- I worked at a school 2x this weeks so that was a solid 5 hours of moving each day. As far as family the husband and older son did go to the gym once and the youngest did TKD 3x last week.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">b) Drink More Water- What I did this week was drink water all morning and not have any soda till the afternoon when I needed some caffeine. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">c) Fast Food- during the work week I didn't get fast food at all, but I was tempted. Then I remembered this goal, and drove on past. I have started placing some snacks into my work bag so that I have something in the car to eat between different schools. We did have fast food 2x on the day that we went to my daughters school once for breakfast in the car, and to bring home donuts from a great place near her school as a treat. </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj0LG_14k1MRSnWf8FYwivqQgShrr64O1-mfqBfLqQVn3Pf9QEJG67GRMGW5Vz0LheyiD7p8iF5Q_RsatcsDDYD8nXVhjVmOMZ4ujf5PRMeFtHgq5yQ-2jUgyTFZuNzHDMKIBStvnE-HE1_cHBsB89oJV4t55LoMKzyMVf2oHKQ1eXJHJ981sBB_bFX=s4608" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4608" data-original-width="3456" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj0LG_14k1MRSnWf8FYwivqQgShrr64O1-mfqBfLqQVn3Pf9QEJG67GRMGW5Vz0LheyiD7p8iF5Q_RsatcsDDYD8nXVhjVmOMZ4ujf5PRMeFtHgq5yQ-2jUgyTFZuNzHDMKIBStvnE-HE1_cHBsB89oJV4t55LoMKzyMVf2oHKQ1eXJHJ981sBB_bFX=s320" width="240" /></span></a></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">7) Clean Kitchen before bed- This goal has been the hardest and also has made the most impact.

So this year along with keeping track on how much we spend on food, I am also going to track how much tax we pay on groceries over the course of the year. </span><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">I am considering the shopping I did on 12/30/2020 as part of this year's food budget since I would have done this big shop on 1/1. Except we were getting a winter storm and I would much rather shop on a 40 degree day then a 0 degree day. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">This time around the big budget items were ground beef, chicken, and canned chicken as I had been working our way through the freezers for the last 2 month trying to use up what we had. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">I am trying to keep to the actual food budget this year 440 a month ( 40 is for taxes) , so I will be bringing back using a price book. A price book is a way of keeping track of what you pay for food over the course of time, so you know when you are getting a good price and should stock up. Most stores run sales on items like meat and cheese every 6 to 8 weeks. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">This week I went to Sam's Club, Aldi's, 88 International ( one of our local international stores) and Hy-Vee. The hardest item to find this time around was cabbage of all things, finally found some at Hy-Vee and they only had 4 heads of the organic kind. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">The special request items for this shopping trip were ice cream and spaghettios, and I was able to get both of these items.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">I spent : Alidi's 104.71 ( 8.73)</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> Sam's Club 237.12 ( 19.78)</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> Hy-Vee 13.80 ( 1.20)</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> International Market 19.80 ( 1.81) </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Total - 375.43 ( 31.52)</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhH9orS5092jJlYyU4LJSAsAy-fn1MpvB8RiqL4z_2dkikiCe1IwD1JfLoVzgqyOZF25-B1xhuTWbB06FwitrvgeObR47rywxCkp8D0z-eVj7wN7_PmFt8_Vu_lBFp_Z48Vf_CBFh5_eYdM0lYRsbdjTUqwKI2QIRHeCRzEG0bH434B894KsowZEBJ-=s4608" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4608" data-original-width="3456" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhH9orS5092jJlYyU4LJSAsAy-fn1MpvB8RiqL4z_2dkikiCe1IwD1JfLoVzgqyOZF25-B1xhuTWbB06FwitrvgeObR47rywxCkp8D0z-eVj7wN7_PmFt8_Vu_lBFp_Z48Vf_CBFh5_eYdM0lYRsbdjTUqwKI2QIRHeCRzEG0bH434B894KsowZEBJ-=s320" width="240" /></span></a></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">I did a second shop this week to get Milk, Bread, Eggs, Banana's and soda and more ice cream for family game night. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> Walmart : 38.77 (3.48)</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Weekly Total- 414.20 ( 35) </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">As of today I have already spent the money budgeted for the whole month of January for food. I will likely have at least one more big shop this month. So I am just going to hope that it balances out by the end of the year. But then I haven't actually spent any of 2022 food budget yet, as the funds for January have yet to be deposited into my grocery account.

Having two has made chicken broth day so much easier. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"> When it comes time to make chicken broth which happens every three or four months it is a whole day affair. But it doesn't take up much of my actual time, but it is a day that I need to be home to keep an eye on the pressure cookers as they do the work.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg8pii2IZVwp66gnj7oIvzaoi7mpba3mKSREekGzUnRi1mzleMleD53OM8OkUwBg2Y9DbPJUHhfnZcXL_5tIHCglih_q-Zc0GaK29FS04Vh9zUMCEPACdNxzg00Ofof81ramcbWiD8ZdrpNTzJ8a5nQUL1i2Wk8dUq1OC3WtOixWU-ew0BONxdYlo5O=s4608" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="4608" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg8pii2IZVwp66gnj7oIvzaoi7mpba3mKSREekGzUnRi1mzleMleD53OM8OkUwBg2Y9DbPJUHhfnZcXL_5tIHCglih_q-Zc0GaK29FS04Vh9zUMCEPACdNxzg00Ofof81ramcbWiD8ZdrpNTzJ8a5nQUL1i2Wk8dUq1OC3WtOixWU-ew0BONxdYlo5O=s320" width="320" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I like to use the cheapest chicken that has bones in it for making broth, this time around it was drumsticks.</span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEggdyjPRUo5jXJc9sZXcK0v09_uWH3Z7xOUQ7O5kUHSiXwGXH3y3vHnrKnwfl733qJjpNdvHRV6-3IWSn-GweCndh4XrWsaHbMopIzBhMJA_VFAH760aPXw8gRh289Dmb2CWRt2IZQZFKnGjEt-5fcceTgw2ffBXtQ9UNMXa5_EAlZ_Wb-czy_sFMJ1=s4608" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4608" data-original-width="3456" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEggdyjPRUo5jXJc9sZXcK0v09_uWH3Z7xOUQ7O5kUHSiXwGXH3y3vHnrKnwfl733qJjpNdvHRV6-3IWSn-GweCndh4XrWsaHbMopIzBhMJA_VFAH760aPXw8gRh289Dmb2CWRt2IZQZFKnGjEt-5fcceTgw2ffBXtQ9UNMXa5_EAlZ_Wb-czy_sFMJ1=s320" width="240" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I use carrots, garlic, onion, and mushrooms along with the chicken to make the broth.

Set the pressure cookers on the chicken setting for one hour, and I let them naturally cool for about 30 min after the cycle finishes. Then strain and place the broth on the stove in my extra large pot that holds 17 quarts. Then place the now mushy mix of veg and meat back into the pressure cookers add more fresh veggies and chicken if you have them left from the beginning add water and repeat the process. I do this about 3 times just keep reusing the veg and chicken and I will have about 17 quarts of broth. This takes about 8 hours, during this time I leave the broth that is finished simmering on the stove and that reduces it some more. </span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjm3PdS1XRztYUPBl4qfFj4fguf11oIYPMps_ekaXBJkh-fWTX6fUJK6kjidfbq7HnR6BSQ9ICJNj43yiI3bBOGehk8kUrVCnh9TKDTPZtJ1z5C3LM5lKlNwzJIPJwoqmUB200GOQQG0uwL1gvfF0q-BIUMYch_tqqQB0minUMI17p6W_PVEqDeHBcW=s4608" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4608" data-original-width="3456" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjm3PdS1XRztYUPBl4qfFj4fguf11oIYPMps_ekaXBJkh-fWTX6fUJK6kjidfbq7HnR6BSQ9ICJNj43yiI3bBOGehk8kUrVCnh9TKDTPZtJ1z5C3LM5lKlNwzJIPJwoqmUB200GOQQG0uwL1gvfF0q-BIUMYch_tqqQB0minUMI17p6W_PVEqDeHBcW=s320" width="240" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">If I am doing this in the winter and it's a nice cold day, I will portion it out into the containers and then place out in the snow until the broth cools and then I freeze it.

At first we thought that we would be moving to GA, and in fact the husband was in GA from July of 2020 to June of 2021, while the rest of us where here in KS. So we spent time in 2020 trying to pair down belongings and make a plan for moving. Then we learned in the beginning of 2021 that we would not be moving to GA, something that we thought was going to happen. So not one more move for us.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Instead it became a remodel job, if we were staying in KS we needed to make our house work better for us. After 7 years here we had a pretty good idea on what worked and what didn't. The hard part was trying to make what needed to happen not only fit in the budget but in the space we had. So I spent a lot of time getting estimates for work . Some projects were tabled due to cost and others we made choices on what parts could we do and what parts needed to be done by a contractor. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">In the end we decided to remove all carpet in the family room and replace with tile, wood floors to replace the laminate in the kitchen and living room, a shed for the yard , and some new furniture that fit the rooms better. Then there are the What's One More projects that seemed to be natural extensions of the original plan.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I had asked for a new sink and countertop for the kitchen to be included in the plan, and here comes the first of many what's one more project in 2021. Lets just remodel the whole kitchen says the husband who remember is in GA at this time. After some thought, I was on board, and the planning began.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">So the final projects ended up being a total kitchen remodel, which is still has bits not finished but we are getting closer. New wood floors in the kitchen, livingroom, hallway and front staircase. New railing and a 1/2 wall to replace a railing. Plus painting the whole upstairs and downstairs, a fireplace mantel project. Tile floors in the downstairs, tiling the upper 1/2 of the boys bathtub/ shower walls. And some new furniture that makes the rooms work as needed. Some days I felt that if I had to make one more decision my head was going to explode, as these were choices that I was going to have to live with for the next 20 years. What if I made the wrong one ,so much second guessing.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The house is more ours now, it works great with only 2 of the kids living here at home, and when we have guests or college kid comes home for a break we have a space for them. If the college kid moves back in after college, we might need to rethink some spaces. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Here are some before and after pictures of the living room. I will be sharing more of the remodel as the year goes on room by room. </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEga38_M0YT-Whu8kGJBDpMy03OfIckUES7xcrYaTEQGGMZciPlUtflNxy5ufm5flpqit_8NQI6XeKP_Xh4xNrsXYvT-XoBaq81adTQ9p6aV8YgtIsfGWw-V_ITZndkf877KjtxDUSif-ihsA0gQISOq9liI8nPIXMbmX_lcdS98vMAkBGQJV349W7ZQ=s2048" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEga38_M0YT-Whu8kGJBDpMy03OfIckUES7xcrYaTEQGGMZciPlUtflNxy5ufm5flpqit_8NQI6XeKP_Xh4xNrsXYvT-XoBaq81adTQ9p6aV8YgtIsfGWw-V_ITZndkf877KjtxDUSif-ihsA0gQISOq9liI8nPIXMbmX_lcdS98vMAkBGQJV349W7ZQ=s320" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgrrUJFMAYCbtMgAPXKP-lf4aWKTwcPrWjhPCD41LOXVGM-zMDMTZbySNH4c3H8ShmVK7K4F0bB3QfOjQ2tTnfRaC7v2Bq6yXstmP3jTMDz-__g7I1lV_l8O06CoFnDzkoNQMCuSZMBoqMKdA2CB0X_PC-Y8wNhtg0eQ8QknPRV-01VMRGXvxUUMi57=s2048" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgrrUJFMAYCbtMgAPXKP-lf4aWKTwcPrWjhPCD41LOXVGM-zMDMTZbySNH4c3H8ShmVK7K4F0bB3QfOjQ2tTnfRaC7v2Bq6yXstmP3jTMDz-__g7I1lV_l8O06CoFnDzkoNQMCuSZMBoqMKdA2CB0X_PC-Y8wNhtg0eQ8QknPRV-01VMRGXvxUUMi57=s320" width="240" /></a></div><br /> Before and then the After<p></p><p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgTaVi4elCxhNf-StinN-I9ttLZ6T7GqU0LLbTbYvRRMsMOjgDdlhoil496qJUkajPUi4Zdinp4Udv6omz6ukMfV2SNk13vv1hxkMnfWsGFWaaoa0b3mtDJjfqQ2QDHlSptPtoq2rsfEbQlvhQ_mECzn_ygXSug-O7CLLh8VWzJtYsmfbtIwiAqjSBJ=s4608" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="4608" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgTaVi4elCxhNf-StinN-I9ttLZ6T7GqU0LLbTbYvRRMsMOjgDdlhoil496qJUkajPUi4Zdinp4Udv6omz6ukMfV2SNk13vv1hxkMnfWsGFWaaoa0b3mtDJjfqQ2QDHlSptPtoq2rsfEbQlvhQ_mECzn_ygXSug-O7CLLh8VWzJtYsmfbtIwiAqjSBJ=s320" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg1IDdtvr4V9ZxquVXdYda4PpnxMwviMEB0t9v76wOzhgCnZo62EmsusYeu7kWZAuqBJKZsUDxjTmOTxWXtnlH2hlI6FTJ-lXlqt3RR8e49VLujaSalJW2egNRKINSZ4MzNPyhaKPudgVnwcF6BOO5OmdOAMHRTA6PdPLSf2WH-2KUBXvBSp1JWaSe2=s4608" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4608" data-original-width="3456" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg1IDdtvr4V9ZxquVXdYda4PpnxMwviMEB0t9v76wOzhgCnZo62EmsusYeu7kWZAuqBJKZsUDxjTmOTxWXtnlH2hlI6FTJ-lXlqt3RR8e49VLujaSalJW2egNRKINSZ4MzNPyhaKPudgVnwcF6BOO5OmdOAMHRTA6PdPLSf2WH-2KUBXvBSp1JWaSe2=s320" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><p></p><p><br /></p>Margeryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02540871605187492841noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7097537608574938543.post-56631763251654706932021-12-31T14:30:00.000-05:002021-12-31T14:30:55.085-05:00<p><span style="font-size: medium;"> So I normally make my yearly goals in August, but this year I was just not into thinking about things I wanted to work on since we were in the middle of a kitchen remodel that was one issue after another. The kitchen is still not completely done but is closer then it was, and no longer takes up a ton of my brain space.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">So here we go, at the top of the list is work/ life balance. I work in school nutrition, and like most places this year we have been short staffed and have had procurement issues. I also have a personality that leans toward over focusing. My plan to make this goal work is to first not check my email before 6:45am, my work day starts at 7am but a quick check at 6:45 will let me know if I need to head to a school or the office. If I am needed at a school before that time, they can call me.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Number 2- Menu planning, I seem to have this one as a goal every year, But I know that it helps to have a plan, I spend less and waste less. I think I need to remember that a meal plan can be flexible and that its ok to to serve the meal planned on Wednesday on Thursday if that works better that day as the week proceeds. I don't need to give up, if I can't seem to follow the plan, each Sunday is a new start. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Number 3- Blogging- yep if you notice it's been a while since I have posted. I just haven't been feeling it, the last two years have been crazy. I had been thinking about trying vlogging but have realized I am more a blogger at heart. So as goal number three I am aiming to post 3 times a week. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Number 4- To Do List- yep this one has also been on the list before. I am aiming to get at least 1/2 of my list completed each week to start and work from there, with a goal that at the end of the year I will be either completing my list each week or will be better at making a more realistic list. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Number 5- Game time I really want to play a board game once a week. I do have a selection on two person games and also larger group games. I am going to list this on my to do list each week and let the others who live here know. I am thinking Friday nights.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Number 6- Personal Habits: I will be using a Habit tracker to keep track of the following.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"> Get up and Move- If it is a day that I end up in a school kitchen, I am counting that as exercise 4 hours of non stop moving counts in my book. On days that I am in the office , I will take the stairs and if it's not to cold try to get some walking in. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Drink More Water- Just like it says, drink more water and that will equal less soda drinking I hope.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">No getting Fast Food during the week work- As I travel between schools a lot during my work day I tend to stop for fast food. This has lead to two issues one it costs money that I can use for something else and it's not good for my waist line . Still working out on how to stop doing this, as I don't know for sure which days a packed lunch would be good and which days I will be at the office and can have lunch there. I am thinking maybe some freezer type meals that I can heat in the microwave if I miss lunch at the office, and maybe some packaged food that will do fine in my car. Just need to do some pre planning. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Number 7- Have a clean kitchen before bed each night, I know this sounds easy but on some days I just don't get it done. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Number 8- Garden - this last year I didn't have a garden at all, the house remodel took up all my brain power and energy. I haven't fleshed out this goal but I will have a garden this summer. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Wish me luck, I hope that I can meet these goals this coming year. If I can I think that it will be better for me mentally and physically, 2021 was rough on both fronts.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg2W1Hmn8RXsz4hbDOEaTLOM2YrvkvqoORQk7MfEYWBTQJ5Wf68iXUQaNHAgdGNxtqC7jMvs3Adh0_ABYBq7lp5Hw2sLY61cJ0rD7nAp_ZVwYbyIEkcgC68oISqOQimdEJgEMJYmTJg8fkJZbVuBGYDiGsGVUyHImgSqoOEo1_4LCJQoOsHUHv6cZPX=s2640" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2640" data-original-width="1980" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg2W1Hmn8RXsz4hbDOEaTLOM2YrvkvqoORQk7MfEYWBTQJ5Wf68iXUQaNHAgdGNxtqC7jMvs3Adh0_ABYBq7lp5Hw2sLY61cJ0rD7nAp_ZVwYbyIEkcgC68oISqOQimdEJgEMJYmTJg8fkJZbVuBGYDiGsGVUyHImgSqoOEo1_4LCJQoOsHUHv6cZPX=s320" width="240" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p></p>Margeryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02540871605187492841noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7097537608574938543.post-86708554211468638732020-01-05T20:45:00.000-05:002020-01-05T20:45:44.492-05:00Goals 2019-2020 Update<br />
Well It's time for an update, and a good time to also modify and add some new goals.<br />
<br />
1) <b>Take a college class </b>- thinking this will be a spring semester goal- <i><b>This goal is being removed for now, with current life I just can't find the time. </b></i><br />
<br />
<br />
2) <b>Walk one mile per day on purpose for 26 consecutive days.</b> - Was thinking of doing this in September but with the pain my knee is giving me I may need to postpone this one, but I think I will at least still try. - <i><b>This one I am going to start on Monday, my knee stills hurts even though it was better after surgery the pain has returned. I am changing it up in that 1 mile a day may not be possible I am going to walk for 20 min and will let the knee figure out how fast and far I go. I figure I can fit it in to the time I spend waiting to pick up my son after-school, and still make a family phone calls.</b></i><br />
<br />
<br />
3) <b>Menu plan every two weeks-</b> I have learned that if I sit down and menu plan I am more likely to actually feed the family.- <i><b>Well this one I was sort of doing ok at it but not great, so I changed it up and made a menu plan for whole year, I only need to add from the list to the calendar. It is a 4 week rotation with a Winter/Fall and a Spring/Summer option. </b></i><br />

<i><b><br /></b></i>
<br />
<br />
4) <b>Paint a picture</b>- I am not a creative type person as far as painting is but it is something I want to try this year so once again I see you tube videos in my future.- <b><i>I did it was a great night of fun and my son even joined in. My picture well at least you can tell it's a tree.</i></b><br />
<b><i><br /></i></b>

<b><i><br /></i></b>
<br />
<br />
5)<b>Complete at least 75 percent of weekly to do list</b>- I like lists and each Sunday spend some time making them but they don't always get done. This year I wanted a goal to help me focus on completing more of the weekly to do list. - <i><b>This one has been going ok, I do realize that I need to make the Saturday list smaller and have a plan to make it more reasonable.</b></i><br />
<br />
<br />
6) <b>Do a 5k walk-</b> This is going to be late Fall or Early spring - <i><b>Need to see how the knee comes along, we are going on a vacation in June and it will involve a lot of walking I am thinking that I may turn day into my 5K. </b></i><br />
<br />
<br />
7) <b>Monthly organizing project</b>- See below<br />
<br />
<br />
8) <b>Make Dinner 5 out of 7 days a week</b>.- Friday's my 12 year old makes pizza and Sunday's is leftovers.- <b><i>Does stopping to get take out count, no I don't think so .</i></b><i><b>Need to do better at this one for both our budget and health, I am going to start keeping track on my to do list to see if I am doing this regularly. We also are changing left over day to Mondays.</b></i><br />
<i><b><br /></b></i>

<i><b> Aidan's Pizza</b></i><br />
<br />
<br />
9) <b>Family Game time at least 1x a week</b>- I am going to aim that every Friday we play a game since we have no outside commitments usually that day. I will also aim to try to play a game with Aidan on Sunday afternoons. <b><i>Well we have played a lot of games over break and with one of my new goals I think that fitting in more time for games with Aidan will happen.</i></b><br />

<br />
10)<b> Family dinner at the table with no devices at least 3x a week</b>- We are a busy family and as much as I would like to eat together at the table every night as we did when the kids were younger that is just not happening. But I think we should be able to do it 3x a week if I write it on the family calendar, and most importantly no devices. <b><i>T</i></b><i><b>his hasn't been happening but I am hoping with the spring schedule it might be more possible.</b></i><br />
<i><b><br /></b></i>
<i style="font-weight: bold;">11) </i><b>Take one picture every day and write about it.</b><i style="font-weight: bold;"> </i>This is one goal that I think I will enjoy the most, and hope to print out at the end of year into a photo book.<i style="font-weight: bold;">- Need to work on this, there are days I take a lot of pictures and then there are times I go days with out taking a picture.</i><br />
<b><i><br /></i></b>
<b><i><br /></i></b>
Break down of the Monthly Organizing Goal so far<br />
<br />
<br />
September- My side of the Garage - DONE- and needs to done again in the spring<br />
<br />
October- Yard- done at least till spring when it all start again.<br />
<br />
November- The back of the garage -1/2 finished<br />
<br />
December- Under the stairs, the Christmas stuff- Not yet we painted the kitchen instead<br />
<br />
January- Filing cabinets- did 1/2 of this one in November.<br />
<br />
February- All the bookshelves in the house<br />
<br />
March- Closets<br />
<br />
<br />
April- August still to be decided.<br />
<b><i><br /></i></b>
<i><b>For the new goals that I am adding:</b></i><br />
<i><b><br /></b></i>
<i><b>1. Stay off Facebook from 3:30-8pm - This will be hard but it will give more time to play games, craft, and blog. </b></i><br />
<i><b><br /></b></i>
<i><b>2. Garden and garden some more. It is getting to be that time of the year for seed catalogs and planing the garden. This year I will beat the squash bugs, I seem able to grow lots of tomatoes, peppers, lettuce. But my squash, cucumbers I get maybe two before the bugs kill them.</b></i><br />
<i><b><br /></b></i>
<i style="font-weight: bold;">3. I loved the painting goal so much that my new one is to create something at least once each month. It can be paint, baking, sewing,canning, other crafting. Just making the effort to create something, and enjoy doing it, extra pats on the back if I do it with someone. - </i>I have done something already for January, I made soap again and did it this time with my Shadow my son's girlfriend. I do have one more long weekend this month and I am thinking of doing something that day with Aidan maybe a baking project that he pick out.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
4. Keep better track on what we spend on for food, this month we are eating out of the pantry/ freezer, So hopefully not to much spending. So far 38 dollars at Aldi's for food, 3 dollars at Starbucks for a tea while waiting for Nolan to finish his driving lesson, and another 5 dollars at Mc D's for soda and breakfast sandwiches also while waiting for him to finish his next lesson. There was also an unexpected stop at Wal Mart to get chips, dip and soda for a football game per the hubby's request that was about 15 dollars give or take. Hoping that I can spend nothing more this week and next.<br />

It was a recipe that did tie up my oven for most of the day but otherwise was easy to make, the picky eater even liked it which is saying a lot . I will make it again this summer when the family is around and fresh berries are at the farmers market. In the above picture I only had whipped cream and berries on the half we were going to eat that night, the rest we ate over a few days. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">This Week I made French Onion Soup from the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Dinner-Instant-Recipes-Pressure-Multicooker/dp/1524762962/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1VQWTKM604XX4&keywords=dinner+in+an+instant+by+melissa+clark&qid=1551058872&s=gateway&sprefix=Dinner+in+an+instant%2Cpantry%2C135&sr=8-1" style="color: #888888; text-decoration-line: none;">Dinner in an Instant</a> cookbook, both I and my husband enjoyed it. I used my electric pressure cooker to make it and while it did involve a few steps so, not a walk away and forget it recipe it still was a weeknight recipe. I was able to make a homemade bowl of French Onion soup in 30 min, instead of an hour or more. </span></div>

I served it with white rice and while that was okay I think adding a bag of peas and carrots to the rice will make it even better. In fact since this recipe made enough for 6, was able to freeze some for a quick weeknight meal.</span></div>

I now take one or two cookbooks out of the library each week and I have to make at least one recipe out of each book. </span><div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Since I started doing this I have been trying new things, and it has been fun. I just needed to find a way to follow though with trying new things.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">I have made a different style of pizza from Cook it in Cast Iron Cookbook, Fried Chicken Taco's from a Pioneer Women Cookbook, Key Lime Squares and Chocolate Chip Muffins from Baking with Friends.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">This Week I made French Onion Soup from the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Dinner-Instant-Recipes-Pressure-Multicooker/dp/1524762962/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1VQWTKM604XX4&keywords=dinner+in+an+instant+by+melissa+clark&qid=1551058872&s=gateway&sprefix=Dinner+in+an+instant%2Cpantry%2C135&sr=8-1">Dinner in an Instant</a> cookbook, both I and my husband enjoyed it.

<span style="font-size: large;">I also made Slow cooker Honey Garlic Chicken from <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Dinner-Made-Easy-Sisters-Stuff/dp/1629722286/ref=sr_1_1?crid=L7KENJ5XV8BG&keywords=dinner+made+easy+with+six+sisters+stuff&qid=1551059589&s=gateway&sprefix=dinner+made+easy%2Caps%2C145&sr=8-1">Dinner Made Easy with Six Sisters Stuff</a> , this was a little sweeter then I liked but still very good and will make it again just with a little less brown sugar and honey.

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Looking forward to this weeks cookbooks, and I challenge you to take out a cookbook from the library and try something new. While it is fun to find recipes on line there is something about paging though a cookbook.</span></div>

The grow lights are working well and are not heating up so I feel okay leaving them on when we are not home. I did have to add some netting to the shelving unit where I have the grow lights as we have a puppy who likes to check everything out. </span></span><br />

But did pick up some more boxes for under my bed from Michaels , I got some last year on sale and they fit perfectly. I just was waiting for this years sale in order to have a few more plus side is that they help from anything else getting lost under the bed. I use them to store my tea cups and other decor that I switch out seasonally, and papers that no longer need to be in the file cabinet.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif;"></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif;"><b><u>7.

I do believe that I want to try worm composting this summer but need to do some more research. Thinking of adding a bin to the garage just for glass since we don't have curbside recycling for that and that might help keep it in one spot.</span></span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif;"></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif;"><b><u>10.
