Monday July 27th- Rainy Gloomy Monday

Well today is the first day of my new blog. I'll be writing about the crazy life my family leads and all the really cool websites I find. My current obsession is coupons. I have a little competition with myself each time I go to the grocery to see if I can outdo the previous grocery trip on savings. Mind you, I'm not a die hard couponer, those women are pros, I just get ecstatic to save 10-15 dollars a trip. I'm fascinated by those women who pay less than $20 for a week's worth of groceries to feed their family of 5. The only thing I can figure is they seriously must not have an 18 year old boy living with them. Speaking of boys, my grocery bill this week will be reduced as my 18 year old boy is off to college for freshman camp. The whole college thing will be coming in future blogs because we are not only sending my son off to college but also my stepdaughter. They will be attending the same PRIVATE college. Come to think of it, maybe I need to become a die hard coupon lady!!

My other current obsession is signing up for freebies. I'm to the point that almost everyday I get something in the mail. It's great I feel like a little kid getting mail. I mean, come on, who doesn't love free stuff? However for those of you who might be concerned I only sign up for the free stuff that I will use and possibly purchase. Like today, someone had some kind of lunch sacks for little kids. I'm sure they were cute and if my kids were in preschool that would be great but I skipped them in hopes that some other mom would have the opportunity to get them and could use them.

I suppose this will do for a first time blog as it's almost time to leave this office and head home for a night out with the hubby then later we'll probably make sure our crops are harvested in FarmTown. If you don't know what it is don't look it up, it's referred to as Facebook crack!! hahaha

God Bless & have a safe and blissful evening!

Kind of burgers and sort of fries

Well peeps it was a busy Monday round these parts!!! First up the Mere and I had to go to the dentist. No cavities for either of us so we celebrated with lunch at Jason's Deli. It's one of the Merebears favorite places to eat. So we bellied up to the bar, the salad bar that is. We headed home and got all her stuff packed up and made a quick trip to Sam Moon on the way to take her back to her moms. Of course we purchased a few little goodies at the Moon.

I had a little bit of a fever Sunday night, I dunno why but then I had a whole other issue on Monday...ahem, I'll spare the details but let's just say I had lots of pepto!!!! So we skipped the club and had some dinner and hubster had a headache so we hit the hay early and snuggled up in the bed to watch another episode of Deadwood. We are on the second season now at about the fifth episode. So anyway I made a little din din off of this.

Boy, I've rambled from one topic to the other rather sloppily haven't I???

Last week when I was at the new Kroger I picked up some Peppered Blue Cheese Turkey Patties. I grilled them up over the weekend so they wouldn't spoil so I just did this to them


And this



Then I just tossed them in the oven while these were cooking up



They are just regular potatoes cut up all fancy like with my little handy dandy thingamajobber from Pampered Chef. They look like crinkle cut fries.
Hubster decided he wanted to be the "seasoner" so after I splashed on a little olive oil he added the jalapeño salt and some hot shot pepper. Baked them up in the oven and dinner was ready!



This was hubsters plate before he doused the potatoes with thousand island dressing and tobasco. Hey, it was pretty tasty actually.



My patty got a slathering of A1 and just some ketchup and tobasco for my taters. I'm sure you also notice they got some sprinkled cheese too!

So there you have kind of burgers and sort of fries for dinner!!

What do you do for your family to jazz up the "norm"?? I mean don't get me wrong I like the burgers and fries same as the next girl but you gotta mix it up and keep them guessing. Give me a shout with your off the beaten path family faves!!!

Peace, Love and Yummies!!!
