Passing

Andy Williams passed away.

Now the song "Moon River" will be going to through mind all day.

To All Who Died, and All Who Survived

Wow... two weeks since I last posted.

Sorry to the couple people that read this blog. ;-)

School is back in session, so my summer has ended.  Kids are back at school, and I am back at work.

I will be using my slow cooker ALOT more this year, so I will start posting the recipes I use.  Here is the one from yesterday.  It is always a hit at my house.  The only thing I change is that I do not add mushrooms, they are not liked in my house.


Ultimate Beef Stroganoff {Slow Cooker}

Tonight will be broccoli and beef stir fry over rice and Thursday will be a salad night.  That is all that is planned so far.

USDA Food Costs for June 2012

The USDA has put up their numbers for June.  For our family the monthly cost that the government thinks we should be spending on their "thrifty" plan is $763.13.  WOW, that is more than I spend, but a long shot.

I have not calculated their other levels, I am not sure I can handle it. LOL

August 4th already!

This year is just speeding along!

Busy busy kids

Well, dinner Friday became a date night for DH and I!  Youngest DD went to spend the night at a friends house, so it was just DH, myself, and grandbaby.

Instead of cooking, we decided to go to Red Lobster.  It was very nice!
