This week’s recipe is brought to you today from almost any cookbook my mom has made for family or me. This is a popular recipe with my kids, my family, those that eat it outside of the family, friends, etc. My kids absolutely love it! Here is the disclaimer: if you are an organic, whole foods, all-natural person, be prepared to turn your head or revamp the recipe. Consumer and convenience food friendly is where this casserole is at! However,…
I have a question for the good readers of this blog. Basically, do you use coupons or not? To what extent? I stopped the hardcore couponing because the price of the Des Moines Register went from $2.00 for their Sunday edition to $3.75. In the meanwhile, the coupon selection has decreased.

Great ideas can happen when I am trying to be clean. I am sure we are not…

I should really know better by now. I should know to ask questions. Mainly the question about what the meeting was going to be about today. Instead, I think I lost one of my few remaining girl cards…
I apologize for today’s post; there might be some thought loss due to the big football game! I love football! I just wish Notre Dame would start playing well! *smile* This post has been neglected since before Christmas because if I had posted, I would have ruined a lot of Christmas presents!
