BEDA #9 pasta night and more little tweaks as we make this home work for 7

Hello everyone 

This was outside the bathroom that the only sick child was using.
My daughter  kept the bathroom all clean and disinfected and wore gloves to protect herself. 
 So far, only 1 of us was sick and is better now we think. 

Some other changes are 
The banana keeper box is staying on the kitchen counter again.  
7 people eat lots of bananas and we have to keep them in something
I think it helps a tiny bit to slow the ripening but I would not re-buy it. 

Our trash is picked up by our city as part of our utility services.  We have a big rolling can for recycling and it is free.  
I think we pay about $20 a month for the same size rolling can for trash.  
I’d rather not have a third giant trash can so we are trying to be diligent putting all recycle stuff in the recycle bin.
Our city accepts metal cans, paper and cardboard, and plastic that are class 2, 3 and 5.  
The very first week our daughters family moved in, my son took 1 sack of our trash to put in his rolling can.
 But all the other weeks we have filled both trash cans but not needed to figure out any other disposal methods. 

We already had this double trash can in the kitchen- the big side is trash and the smaller side is recycles. 

Supper tonight for 4 of us was what we call spaghetti but is actually a homemade red sauce on pasta and topped with cheese- no meat. 
I blogged how I make this on my first blog- if you want to know how


  

I made a big enough batch to put some in the freezer and left handed 1st grade grandson helped label them.  

   

Above is just cooked pasta and the sides were a leftover baked sweet potato, leftover green beans and fresh fruit.  
I’m guessing many people who previously didn’t eat leftovers are eating them now as grocery prices soar and many things are hard to find.  
Our supper was delicious- both the fresh cooked part and the reheated leftover parts.  

Hope you are all having a good weekend 

❤️ Rhonda

BEDA #8 Taco pizza night

Hello  supper tonight was a use stuff before it spoils night. 
There was some raw ground beef left from Wednesday’s burgers and I wanted to use it.  \
Friday or Saturday is usually pizza night. 
So,  I decided to cook the beef with some taco seasoning and make taco pizzas.  
For the sauce, I used tomato sauce mixed with taco sauce.  

We used mozzarella and cheddar cheese and some had jalapeños 


            

Dessert was fresh fruit and leftover ice cream sandwich cake.

However one of the children came home from school with a stomach bug and we are praying the rest of us don’t get it.  



Tammy- yes, the ballon arch was a kit from Amazon.  Nina has made several balloon arches for other birthdays, showers, school events.  She says the kits and an electric balloon pump are the way to do it.
