Almost the end of 2020- home stuff and some replies

Hello - not too much news here 

We did a few errands this morning and then have been home the rest of the day.

My husband has been shelling more pecans

I hemmed pants for my son that wears dress clothes when he works.

He says there have been lots of really good online sales this year.  

Ducky napped a lot 

Our daughter’s family is doing some fun stuff while they are on break from their education jobs. 

This is little Jackson in a group photo- I think he is especially having a good time.  And I’m so glad.

Melanie- I’m not a huge decorator but I’m thankful my husband helps a lot.  I wouldn’t do any outdoor decorations and I wouldn’t put up a 9 foot tree without his help.

Lejmom- your comments are so sweet - yes, I still have the just in case grocery supply but am not adding to it and I plan to use it down somewhat.  It takes up a lot of space.  I don’t think I’ll ever have a minimalist pantry though.  

Baked Tacos- I’m not sure who asked but they are so easy to make.  You need the regular taco ingredients.  Put the crunchy taco shells in a pan with sides and turn on the oven to heat them as the package specifies.  Put grated cheese in the bottom of each taco shell and then top with a spoonful of warm taco meat filling.  Now put them in the oven and bake as the package specified- usually 5-8 minutes.  Take them out of the oven and add all the toppings your family likes.  

I make tacos this way when I’m serving a group and it’s so much easier than fixing each taco individually.  

Hope you’re all fine and snug- it’s cold in Oklahoma and going to get colder 🥶

end of December - pantry organized, a few meals and to-do list

Hello everyone 

I made a new to-do list on Sunday for the next week - I’ve already checked off several things but this is the photo I took when I first made the list 

Our pantry has been cleaned out and reorganized (and of course I neglected to take a before photo) 

I also straightened up the fridge and am using up fresh things 

After Christmas,  we had leftovers on the relish tray, and they tasted really good with simple sandwiches.  

We are not loyal to any brand of bread, I order different ones often.  I ordered this thick sliced white bread- Natures Own Perfectly Crafted- and we like it a lot.  

I used some leftover sauce and a partial bag of cheese that had been in the fridge a long time and made a really good pizza 

And a big salad

My husband and I worked together and packed away all the inside and outside Christmas decorations 

That’s all the news from here
