Featuring ~ Hillbilly Housewife

A great website, I think you all should check out, is Hillbilly Housewife. She has great tips, recipes, and other interesting things on this site. The thing I like the most is her $45 Emergency Week Menu. This menu has been updated to about $70, due to price increases, but it is still a good price. It has no major meats in the menu plan, but that is because meat can be expensive, and she's trying to help you spend as little as possible. In a situation where you need an emergency backup plan, Beans are great things to have. Check it out and leave me a comment on what your thoughts are I'd love to have your input.
On a person note, I have tried a part of this menu. My guys are not big on beans, but a lot of the food is really good. I liked the beans tht we tried, and a couple of my guys lied a few of these foods. My guys are very picky, though. A surprising turn of events was the fact that all the boys liked the Creamed Tuna and Peas. They all have claimed to hate tuna and peas. But, I decided to try it anyway. I had meant to serve it on pasta, and make some of the Homemade Bread into Cheesey Garlic Toast. But, I must have lost my mind, because I totally forgot the pasta, until the rest of the food was finished. So, I ended up putting the Tuna on the Toast. They LOVED it. They have asked me to fix it again! Now, I have not tried to feed this to Anthony. He had to work late that night, and didn't eat when he came home. So, I still don't know if he'd eat it or not.
All things considered, we like the food we tried from this menu, and I would definately recommend it to you all.

Friday Feature

I have a friend that makes bows and other cute items, that she sells. She usually sells them at fairs and other such places, but she also takes online orders. She has things that she's already made, and she custom makes things, also. Check out her site here. I just love the name! Dixie Dudes and Dolls So cute!

Friday Features

Another weeklypost I'd like to do on Fridays, is to let others know of some things I've found on the internet. It may be a cool site I found, a good deal I know of, or anything I think is worth mentioning (whether you do or not..lol).If I happen to see a deal that I got from someon else, I will give the credit to them.

      The first site I want to let you know about is A Thrifty Mom. This is one of the first sites that my sister, April, told me about, when I first started really using coupons. She has an awesome site. Check it out and start saving!
      Thanks to A Thrifty Mom I went to this site http://www.eatdolecolors.com/ and got a great coupon for playing a little game. It was a cute little game that didn't take too much time. It asked for some quick info, and then sent me to the game. If you win, you get a $10.00 grocery card, if you lose, you still get the coupon for dole fruit for $.50/1. It's also a daily game, so you could get more than one coupon, from my understanding.
      
      Go to Minnesota Mama's Must Haves for a great giveaway. It's a cool trael coffee mug that is suppose to cool your drink as you sip it. Check it out and enter.
