I’ve been pulling out recipes tucked away lately, deciding to try some new dishes. While some have been absolutely horrible, there’s been others which were really good with some tweeking. A new favorite of ours is “Grilled B&T Sandwiches”. The original recipe title was Lasagna Sandwiches, but I have no idea how they thought it was anything like lasagna. This was more of a cheesy BLT, minus the lettuce. Either way the kids LOVED it! What you’ll need: Sandwich bread Bacon Tomato, sliced Sliced Mozzarella cheese (I bought a brick and sliced it) Sour Cream (about 1/2 c) Onion (about 2 TBS, or one slice) Butter Mix the sour cream and onion together according to your taste. Spread on bread. Cook bacon and add at least 4 slices to each sandwich, followed by 2 slices of tomatoes and one slice of cheese. Butter the...
Yes, we are getting close to that time of year again! I couldn’t be more excited, since it’s my favorite holiday. Halloween is coming soon! Hurray! This year, my daughter tells me she wants to be a “dead bride”, which she came up with on her own (she’ll be 6 in a few weeks). I am so very proud. *sniff* Now I could go out and look for a costume, but why do that when I can just make it? For the last week or two, I’ve been working on the dress and snagging the accessories when I see them. The pattern for the dress – Simplicity 5645, in case you want it – was a little more expensive than I wanted it to be ($5.97, although it was still cheaper than the ‘real’ costume patterns), but that’s alright, because we decided to make more dresses with the same pattern. To go with the dress,...
No worries, I’m not throwing any recipes on you. Nope, I think we all have enough for the time being. I don’t know where they all came from, but my drawer is absolutely stuffed with various meal ideas (and for some reason, an abundance of dessert recipes I will NEVER make). That’s why I decided to do something last night that was long over due. I sat down with a small stack, pulling what I thought we might try over the next week or two. But I didn’t stop at just pulling out a few recipes – I wrote down a list of ingredients we would need as well. See, this is how we get into a rut. When I go to the store, I rarely take a list. Most of our favorite recipes I know by heart, and can remember exactly what I need. For example, if I think “I’ll make pizza sometime this week”, I’ll pick up a...
No Tidy Tuesday Tip today – my house is still being worked on and new carpet is going in next weekend. The house is in pieces still, so cleaning is somewhat of a lost cause right now. What I thought we’d do instead is leave today open for discussion. The question is, how clean is your house? Don’t be afraid to be honest, because I’m sure mine would put yours to shame even if it wasn’t under construction. Let’s hear it! Read More →
