LOOKING AHEAD

So, dinner was great last night, Turkey Noodle Casserole - no leftovers! That's what I'm talkin' about. While we were 'feasting', I had a flashback of Mom's tuna noodle casserole - one of my childhood favorites. That's another economical recipe, adjust your noodles to macaroni style, replace a can of tuna for the turkey, and 'voila!', another delicious meal.

Did you by any chance copy the recipe? Just wanted to share with you a website that I recently came across that has really cute recipe cards to download for free. There are also matching shopping lists, to-do lists, and gift tags! So cute! They can be found at Original Country Clipart by Lisa. You'll have to drop by.

You can probably tell from my first post being about dinner, that food, among many other things, is a focus in my house. For the rest of my family, it's all about the 'what'. What do I have to look forward to for my next meal? For me, it's the 'how'. How am I going to serve something that the whole family will love for the least amount of money?

In the future, I'll have a lot to say about how I save on food! I am a 'Master Couponer' (is there such a word? don't think so, but it does describe me!), and believe me when I say that I have connections with those who really know the tricks of the trade - I'll elaborate on that later!

For now, though, I can't avoid the fact that the holidays are here. I'll still have dinner ideas along with where all the great bargains are, but also look for:

HOLIDAY GIFT IDEAS
SAVVY CRAFT & DECORATING IDEAS
YUMMY HOLIDAY TREATS (and cute ways to give them!)
...and anything else 'Holiday'!

I will have a special post on Monday about how our family is adjusting to the economical issues facing many of us during the holidays this year. See you next week!

Thanks for stopping by :)
