Do you ever wake up with a pep in your step and so many ideas of what to do?  I woke up with morning with huge goals and made some coffee.  I was thinking of doing a whole day clean with me....but then, I remembered I had to run to the store and get some things...LOL....SOOOOOOOOO, that brought me here.  I am going to update my beloved blog, take a shower, run out the door and come back here and knock out my cleaning :)

It is early morning so hopefully I can fit this all in.

School starts back up pretty quick, so I would like to knock out some deep cleaning and organizing.

Scalloped PotatoesCourtesy of my Mayberry Cookbook
2 Cups of thinly sliced potatoes
1/3 cup minced onion

1 Tablespoon all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon of salt

dash of pepper

Grease a casserole dish. Place a layer of potatoes in the bottom of the casserole dish. Sprinkle with some onion. Sprinkle some flour, salt, and pepper over the layers. Dot with butter. Repeat the layers until all of the potatoes, onion, flour, salt, pepper and butter are used, ending with the butter. Pour milk over all, and sprinkle with paprika. Bake covered in a 375' oven for 45 minutes. Uncover and bake for 15, or until tender.
