It's that time of year again...

to set your clocks back 1 hour; I'm sure we can all use that extra hour of sleep tonight!

Homemade BBQ Sauce

I don't measure any of the ingredients as I do most of my cooking by the dump method and season to taste! You will need the following ingredients: Brown sugar (approx. 1 cup) Worcestershire Sauce (approx 1/4 cup) Ketchup (approx. 1/4 cup) Mustard (approx 1/4 cup) Mix it all up and you have BBQ sauce!

Stroganoff

1 lb ground beef, browned and drained 3 cans of cream of celery, chicken or mushroom 2 cups of shredded cheese 1 package of medium, egg noodles, cooked and drained (according to package directions) Steamed, drained veggies(optional) Mix all of the above ingredients together and you have dinner! You can also mix in some steamed, drained veggies This recipe only feed 4 grown adults so you may need to double this recipe if you're feeding LOTS of people!

Website Wednesday

I came across the following websites and would love to share them!  April owns her own business and makes everything she sells!  Her blog is a hodge podge of different day to day things.  She posts recipes, jokes, Bible verses, and best of all her crafts!  She is very talented and I hope that you will visit her website to see what I am talking about!  http://www.mix-it-up-whatever.blogspot.com/ This is April's Etsy page: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=8079490 Angie's web store is AMAZING!  She makes some very unique gifts!  She offers all kinds of bath bombs, candles, fragrance oils, and air fresheners!  But the item that intrigues me more than anything else is her dipped critters!!  She has a teddy bear that you can have dipped in a multiple of different fragrances and you can let it sit on the shelf and no one would ever know (you can also choose the color of the bear)!!  I absolutely LOVE it!

"Tablespoon was started with over 30,000 kitchen-tested recipes sourced from General Mills cooking and food brands. We're hoping you'll join our community and help us to greatly increase that number with yummy recipes from your own kitchen!" - excerpt from tablespoon.com

Price Book

I am working on a Price Book on Google Docs.  The price book will have prices on many items I keep in the kitchen and the prices I find them at different stores.  By doing this I will be able to tell where the "real deals" are when comparing the Price Book with the Grocery Store ads, coupons, etc.  If you would like to see what it's all about check it out HERE !

Savings Spreadsheet

I found this GREAT savings spreadsheet at www.hotcouponworld.com ; tangeemct posted it in the Getting Started forum.  I would highly recommend signing up to use the site and to download the spreadsheet.  You will need Microsoft Excel to open it or if you have a Google Mail account (Gmail) you can upload it and use it with Google Docs.  I personally like Google Docs better than Microsoft Office because I can access all of my documents from my laptop or my desktop computer and continue where I left off and the best part is it's FREE!  Once you have the spreadsheet open you will see some directions on how to use it.  I use mine every time I shop now and I don't know what I would do without it!  I love trying to beat my percentage saved every time I shop; it gives me more of a goal to work towards and it makes shopping A LOT more fun!

Feeding teenagers!

I never knew how much teenagers could eat!  My kids come home from school looking for a snack and by dinner they're starving again!  They tell me they're still hungry around bedtime!  It can be very overwhelming feeling that I'm not doing enough to keep them content, but I try to remember back to being a child and I don't remember eating around the clock the way they do. When I go grocery shopping I normally spend somewhere between $100.00-$150.00 a week and it doesn't feel like it goes very far sometimes!  Many times I have to get very creative with what's in my cabinets!  I make my own barbecue sauce and recently found some other recipes online to make other condiments that we use frequently.  I shop for all the deals I can, use coupons for items on sale, and use my grocery store discount card.  By doing this I normally can save around $50.00.

Halloween Crafts

It's fall and that means the holidays are creeping up on us very quickly!  The next holiday is Halloween and I know a lot of families have already started shopping for costumes, candy, etc.  However, how many of us neglect our homes during this time of year?  I came across some really awesome craft ideas that can be done with the kids for decorating, Halloween parties, etc.  Check out some of the following ideas: Edible Haunted House http://www.familycorner.com/family/kids/crafts/haunted_house.shtml Salt Dough Pumpkins http://www.familycorner.com/homegarden/crafts/salt_dough_pumpkin_patch_craft.shtml Mummy Cookies http://www.familycorner.com/family/kids/recipes/mummy-cookies.shtml Edible Eyeballs http://www.familycorner.com/family/kids/recipes/halloween-eyeball-cake-balls.shtml More Ideas Here: http://www.familycorner.com/dir/Family/Holidays/Halloween/

I got a heck of a deal on some new curtains!

We were redecorating the house over the weekend and I have been wanting to buy new curtains, but haven't wanted to spend money on curtains since you only get ONE panel and of course I needed two.  We all know how quickly the expense adds up just for something as small as curtains.  I went to Kmart looking for some things to decorate with and I just happened to check out the curtains and I found a package on clearance.  I was ecstatic when I looked in the opened package to find TWO panels, but I couldn't resist when I saw the price - $5.00 for TWO panels!  The package was only for 1 panel and originally priced at $14.99.  So, of course I HAD to buy them!  I brought them home and hung them up and I have to say that they look awesome!  I'll try to get a photo up of them soon!

Add the remaining cheese and onions and cover with aluminum foil. Bake on 350 for 45 minutes and remove foil for last 20 minutes... It's ready when the cheese is melted and sides are bubbly...

A New Grocery Store has "Bloomed!"

If you haven't heard the buzz yet you probably will be soon!  Bloom is opening up stores in Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina & Virginia.  You may be familiar with its sister company, Food Lion, but Bloom is competing against the higher end grocery stores (ie., Harris Teeter, Kroger, etc.).  Bloom is the first to offer 20 minute parking spaces for those who are looking to grab items quickly and get out.  They also are the first to offer handheld scanners while the customer shops.  This allows the customer to scan & bag their items as they place them into the grocery cart which saves the customer valuable time.  Bloom also offers wall mounted kiosks which offers recipes, allows the customer to choose a good wine, locate an item in the store AND retrieve a lost grocery list!  Bloom also allows customers to mix 'n match to build their own 6 pack of beer. If you live near Fort Mill, SC you get a MAJOR perk!  You get PAT (Personal As...

magicJack Review

We tried out the magicJack and although we haven't made the official switch yet; here is the break down of our pros & cons during our 1 year of using magicJack: PROS We loved the price (19.95/yr) vs. our monthly phone bill with TWC. The quality of the sound was comparable to the Digital Phone service we have through TWC. We loved the ability of seeing who was calling while using the internet. We could make calls via the magicJack console and then dial out with the phone. One price for all the phone features (call waiting, caller ID, etc);  there weren't any hidden fees. CONS  The computer the magicJack is attached to has to be on all the time to be able to make & receive phone calls.

Bourbon Chicken

Bourbon Chicken We all LOVED this recipe! We will definitely be using this again! 2 lbs boneless chicken breast, cut into bite-size pieces 1-2 tablespoon olive oil 1 garlic clove, crushed 1/4 teaspoon ginger 3/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes 1/4 cup apple juice 1/3 cup light brown sugar 2 tablespoons ketchup 1 tablespoon cider vinegar 1/2 cup water 1/3 cup soy sauce Heat oil in a large skillet. Add chicken pieces and cook until lightly browned. Remove chicken. Add remaining ingredients, heating over medium Heat until well mixed and dissolved. Add chicken and bring to a hard boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes. (The sauce starts out really watery and thickens the longer you simmer it. I've heard of some people adding cornstarch to thicken it, but it's not necessary if you wait for it to turn into a glaze. I often wait until the sauce has thickened somewhat before adding the chicken back in, so it doesn't get too dry. We often double up on ...
