Weekly to do list and where I’ve been

Good morning friends,  

I made a pretty to do list for this week and thought I’d share it.  

I just wasn’t in  a blogging mood all winter.  There seems to be so much drama on the internet and I have no interest in.   

I’ll be blogging things I do.  I’m no expert and I’m not giving or seeking advice on how my family eats or shops or doctors or uses resources or anything.  I’ll just share what I do and you readers can visit if my life interests you.  

That being said,  let’s move forward, OK?  

One of the our recent highlights was a trip to Southern California to celebrate our 39th anniversary.

We didn’t see any whales but we truly enjoyed our 3 hour cruise 🚢.  It was beautiful day and the ocean water was so clean! We did see lots of dolphins. 

I have an early appointment to get my teeth cleaned and then I plan to come home and get some housework done. I’ll also be checking on my parents.  My dad was so sick yesterday and he couldn’t come for our family Easter lunch and egg activities.  

Have a good day everyone ❤️

Weekend meals

Hello everyone

5 of our grands were here a good part of this weekend so I tried to plan meals ahead. 

At Aldi, I got celery and strawberries.  We all like raw celery with peanut butter, or spreadable cheese or just plain. 

The strawberries were on sale and were so good!  They smelled like ripe berries in the store and at home, I was amazed they were very sweet and flavorful.  See how they are shaped kind of long and pointed? I don’t know if that denotes their variety or what but they were just delicious! 

I got a couple containers of donuts at Aldi as the grands like them for a treat or dessert.

And I almost always keep ready to eat bananas, especially when grands are here.  

We are all fans of orange Jello with lots of mandarin oranges.

Friday night meal was goulash, asparagus and bagged Asian salad.  

Saturday breakfast was eggs, sausage, toast and fruit. 

Saturday lunch was pizzas on Naan bread- decorated by the children.  

Saturday supper was grilled chicken tenderloins and turkey sausage

 homemade macaroni and cheese, fruit and jello 

Sunday breakfast was cinnamon toast, bacon, scrambled eggs and fruit.  The 3 year grandson was so proud that he got to shake the cinnamon sugar on to the bread.  

Thrifty tip 

When I cleaned the celery, I saved the scrappy pieces in a plastic bag.  I added the onion peels from the goulash.    

I labeled them and they will stay in the freezer until th next time I cook a chicken in the crockpot.  

I’ve got some more to post but my blogging app is not happy doing long posts so I’ll add the rest on another post later.

Have a good Monday everyone ❤️
