menu plan Monday May 20th

May 20, 2013 · by Penny · Leave a Comment

Looks like a warm week here, so that means less in the oven stuff, and maybe more salads and crockpot items. Now I remember why I was looking at a new stove with the burners that only heat the pan, not the whole kitchen, anybody have one of those? Do you like it?

I now have 5 of my books on Amazon available for Kindle readers, still working on more this week, and still losing weight and working out, and planning the garden, yahoo! Can’t wait for fresh tomatoes and peppers. ( I said all this last week and it is still true!!) (again)

I have lots more recipes posted at my recipe site and I am trying to study up on a new plug in that will enable you to easily print the ones I have on there.

Monday- Italian Pasta bake

Tuesday- spontaneous gourmet salad

Wednesday- budget ground beef stroganoff

Thursday- stuffed quesadillas with ground beef and peppers, yummy

Friday – shredded beef tacos

Saturday – rodeo burgers

What’s on your menu this week?

the original angry bird

May 16, 2013 · by Penny · Leave a Comment

So what happens when you give a 10yr old a smart phone? She finds every available app and every available camera option. This is from the time shift option on the camera on the Blackberry z10. It takes several quick pictures in sequence and you can shift forward or backwards to choose the one you want to keep. So if grandma closed her eyes or the baby cried, or the cat yawned, or the chicken who didn’t want to give up her eggs for the sake of your breakfast squawked, you can choose the best shot. Pretty. Neat. Stuff.

As always my disclaimer – I am a problogger which means that I should and do benefit from this post if I am sharing anything worthwhile, I have been given products to try out but my opinions are purely my own.

For my Menu Plan Monday post May 13th

Well spring is in full production around here, we have a new calf due anytime, the garden in progress, lovely weather, business is booming, and yardwork is a full time workout and tan all in one. The only thing I am anxious for is ripe, fresh from the garden tomatoes.

I have lots more recipes posted at my recipe site and I am trying to study up on a new plug in that will enable you to easily print the ones I have on there.

Monday- supreme burritos, actually my mexican pile up in a flour tortilla, yep again, we love this

Tuesday- shredded beef tacos

Wednesday- cheeseburger casserole

Thursday- stuffed quesadillas

Friday – spontaneous gourmet salad

Saturday – home burgers

What’s on your menu this week?

Yay it’s Monday!

Okey Dokey, it may appear that I am late this morning but actually it is the opposite, I was so early I got several things done before I sat to list what all I needed to do. Sometimes I like to write while things are fresh and if I put it off at all, even to make a to do list then it feels like yesterdays news and I sometimes don’t write it at all. (stopping here for breath) . So. All that to say, now that my mind is on this upcoming week, let’s see what is on the line up. And I am adding check marks because that is the best thing about a list.

Mother’s Day post done
Menu Plan Monday
announce giveaway winners
new giveaways, yay!
new books for Kindle yay!
I am kinda in a “get it in order” mood, so I may have lots of checklists this week, and some organizing posts, sound like fun?
and how about that cookbook sale I referred top last week?
a book review on making goat milk soap, looks good so far
and a guest post for a friends blog on the topic of horse ownership
and …. reviews on 2 favorite personal products

Wow, add all that to my absolutely wonderful get-in-the-garden weather this week and it looks like busy fun! Can’t wait to come back to this post with more red check marks!
