This Week's Menu!

-
I am a Facebook newbie. I have only been on there since November. But, in that short amount of time, I have fallen in love with how many recipes are on there! And it helps my quest to stop my family from eating out so much. Thursdays are my traditional grocery day and last night I decided that I was actually going to make a menu and grocery list and stick to it! That's the key factor there- sticking to it. I am notorious for saying that I'm going to stick to a list and then either forget said list or just ignore it.\
 Here is my menu for the week, along with the links to the recipes. I only did 6 days, with one day either being "fend for yourself" day or eat out day.

Thursday-- Pepper Steak from South Your Mouth
Friday-- Layered Dorito Casserole from Spend with Pennies
Saturday--Long John Silver's Chicken from 77 Easy Recipes--the secret is warm ginger ale! Who knew?
Sunday--Cheesy Tater Tot Casserole from 77 Easy Recipes
Monday--Smoked Sausage and Potato Bake from 77 Easy Recipes
Tuesday--Crock Pot Chicken and Stuffing from My Incredible Recipes

I'll update before next week which ones are "keeper" recipes and which weren't so good. I'm hoping soon to share an idea that my best friend just did from a book a friend of hers gave her. She did 20 crock pot meals from Aldi for 150$. You make them ahead and then freeze them. Isn't that a great idea? Hopefully I can share that soon! Stay tuned!

DIY Body Wrap

OK, this started as another one of those "Pinterest Experiments" to see if it would really work, and it actually did! I had read on Pinterest that you can do a body wrap at home wayyyy cheaper than at spas. All you need is lotion, plastic wrap and whatever body part you want to lose about .5 in on. Seriously. I did it on my stomach, because after 3 children, I have the "pooch". I hate the "pooch". I figured that this wouldn't hurt, so while Hubby was in Washington, I tried it. All you do is put lotion on the body part you are working on. It's preferable to have a lotion with something from the sea in it, like seaweed, kelp, etc, but not absolutely necessary. Put A LOT on. I mean to where it's not soaking in anymore. Then you wrap the body part in plastic wrap. You can either secure it with an ace bandage or do what I did and just tape it. Since I did it around my belly, I just taped it to itself and it stayed in place. Then you go to bed. Whe

On My Journey: Cataracts

-

Along with my entire family, I wear glasses.  I have for about 3 years now.  I had noticed about two months ago that my left eye was really bad.  I couldn't see anything out of it, just blurry blobs.  So,  I carried myself to the eye doctors, expecting to get a new prescription.  He dilated my eyes because my left eye failed all the tests.  Imagine my surprise when he tells me that at the age of 42, I have cataracts.  I couldn't believe it! He said this is extremely rare, but does happen.  I ended up leaving there with a referral to an eye surgeon instead of a prescription.  Now I'm waiting to go see the eye surgeon.  I'm a little nervous even though I know it's an easy,  routine surgery.  I will keep all you wonderful readers updated as this progresses!
