I have so many ideas rambling about in my head. So many projects that need to be done. I figured that by writing about them I might even get myself organized. The biggest project right now is planning for my Dad's 80th birthday party. Over the hill and old jokes just seem a bit much for 80. So my sisters and I are going with bright colors and a picnic theme. I am searching for recipes and decorating ideas that will keep things upbeat, fun and different. At the same time, saving money with coupons whenever I can. Yes, I am one of those. The one you hate to be in line behind at the grocery store. It takes some work, but you really can save quite a bit with coupons. There is so much help online to guide you. Hopefully, I can help be one of those guides.
I have many recipes to share too. I love to cook and try new things. But have really been stuck in a rut lately. I open the freezer in the morning and look for something to take out for dinner. Then try to figure out something to do with it. I decided that I am going to attempt to do this a bit differently. Make up a menu on the weekend to use for the week. Use the grocery ad for inspiration and then actually use the recipes I have collected. Turn meals into fun rather than a chore. I will share the recipes as I use them. I would love to try at least one new recipe a day. I wonder how many days in a row I can do it?
One of the great things about couponing is that you find out about new products right away. I just printed out coupons for Crystal Light Mocktails. Never heard of it? Neither had I until I saw the coupon. Everyone keeps telling me I need to stop drinking so much Diet Pepsi. Guess I will just have to suffer with low calorie Margaritas!! Just another benefit of couponing. :)
Time to work on this week's menu.
