Wednesday Nachos!!

 

Sunday!!

 On Sunday I did my grocery shopping!

I went to Sprouts, and used my ten dollar Sprouts coupon they dropped in my app along with the 20% off everything coupon they dropped in my app.  I saved a total of 30 dollars at Sprouts...I was super excited about that.
I bought these Organic Stuffed Jalapeno Green Olives..YUMMY!EEEEE
I also stocked up on my Four Sigmatic Coffee, along with my nutritional yeast.
I picked a new to me product also, I usually buy "Calm", but this week I got "Magnesium with Energy"....:)
I bought my produce also, and when I got home I cleaned, cut and stored all my fresh veggies.  I have a happy, happy fridge :)

I also made a stop at Marshall's because it is right next to Sprouts and that is my usual...I go into Sprouts then I hit Marshal's...there is also Ulta there that I go into when I need my makeup :)

After that I went into Petco and got some things I needed for my sweet little pets.

Then off to Kroger......
I had downloaded a bunch of digital coupons, and clipped coupons from the Sunday paper.
I had made a list too.
I bought ingredients to make this:
OOEY GOOEY BUTTER CAKE
Then
Devil Foods Cake
Rice Crispy Treats
Bread rolls are on the menu too...tee hee :)

On Saturday, we stopped by Costco and I got my bottled water and the pack of cokes, along with the paper towels and gum.
I also like to pick up my vitamins there...
Ground beef that I divided and used my food saver on...
Ribeye steaks also, for Steak Sunday :)
On Saturday I passed up on a Starbuck's because we were going out to dinner..so I made Sunday, Starbuck's Sunday...LOL....

Sunday is also church for me...so first and foremost, I go to church and then I start my shopping .
The reason I changed my grocery day to Sunday, is I have to work my schedule around Virtual school....

Tee hee....to be continued :)

Roasted Chicken 🐓

Roasted chicken was on the menu for Monday!!

I made my own rub for this chicken.

3 large bone in chicken
I mixed a teaspoon of:
garlic powder

onion powder

paprika

thyme
Everything But The Bagel Seasoning
Italian Seasoning
1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper

and a few grinds of regular black pepper
Rubbed Olive Oil all over th chicken and then rubbed the *RUB* all over the chicken and then roasted the chicken at 350 until chicken was done...about 45 minutes or so

 

 I cooked the collard greens in the slow cooker.... with lots of garlic and bacon and veggie broth...you can use chicken broth too .....and love, of course 💕

Dinner Time *RIBEYE STEAK*

Sunday dinner is usually steak on the grill.....Ribeye steak to be exact....

Made a loaded baked potato and steamed asparagus with Garlic butter to go along with it....

 Sunday was quite busy too :)

Saturday ❤️

 Just in case no one has told you lately ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Polish

I had gone through my polish and got rid of most them because they were all getting old and thick...I wasn't planning on getting more polish at the moment, but I absolutely fell in love with these colors....and prices..tee hee!

I ran some errands today and went into Ross....they had these polish boxes out getting ready for the holidays........

OH....and some lip color too, in my colors.....Love this!!!

This particular polish, I found at Target.  Rose Bold!!  I love, love, love this color!

These colors were also at Ross...Paris Hilton...who knew she had a polish line...I did not know.  Regardless of who's name is on my polish, I love the colors....
The middle color is my favorite....

 Do you like nail polish?  What colors do you like on your nails?  In the past I have always gotten my nails done...but lately I like them short and clean and bare...now, I am wanting a little color...especially on my toenails....

You can click on the pictures to see the colors of the polish better and lip color....
This makes me happy!!

We all need a little happy :)

It was a lovely day today, and the weather was glorious.
If you follow me on Instagram I made a ton of stories today, it also shows up on my Facebook...take a look if you would like.

It was 75 degrees today and I ran my 3.5 miles this morning.

I went to Publix and picked up the sale ad and coupon book and Sprouts dropped a ten dollar coupon in my email..so check your Sprouts for that coupon...it should be there,
I have collected a lot of coupons from the Sunday paper..so I will be clipping coupons this weekend.
I will most likely do my shopping after Church on Sunday.
I love doing my shopping on Monday's, but with Virtual School going on, my schedule has changed a tiny bit.
Two weeks ago, I saved 50 dollars with deals and coupons...that was so exciting..lol

I did a bit of shopping at Target today, too.
I needed more plastic shoeboxes, they had been out for quite awhile and they had finally gotten some in.....so I bought 20.
I needed lightbulbs and some toiletries.  I didn't buy too many groceries, because that day is coming up.  I did pick up Egg Nog..YUM~MEEEE!!!!  My son loves Egg Nog.
I got some really nice foot repair lotion.  I am going to put it on my feet and wear socks to bed...and then I will polish my toenails tomorrow...
Friday Family Fun Night was moved to tomorrow....so tonight's dinner was semi~homemade Pizza with salad.
I am now just catching up on other housewifey/mama things.

It is getting dark earlier and earlier.
Did I mention I got a new Christmas tree this year?
It is white...in homage of my Mother.  Her last Christmas with me she put up a white tree...when I was little I befuddled and confused about a white tree...but this year, as I am grown, it is going to be absolute gorgeous..of course I will show you.

Speaking of Christmas and the holidays, I broke out my holiday planner...I am going through it and adding recipes I want to make, to it......

I hope this day is a good one for you...I give you all hugs and love!!
Thank you for visiting my little corner of the world.

Checkup!!

 Today was supposed to be my mammogram... I had my checkup but my mammo got mixed up..... sooooooo, my mammo will be in December... that’s ok!  I’m fine with that...lol.   What’s important is that I am doing it. 

Get your mammogram ladies. It’s so important :)

Banana Cream Pie 🥧

 I used two small boxes of Vanilla pudding with 2 cups of cold milk. I mixed it all up. Set aside for a second while I cut up two bananas and layered them on the bottom of a premade graham cracker crust. I poured the pudding over the bananas.  I then topped the pie with nilla wafers. Voila!!  Simple and delicious Banana Cream Pie!!

Yummy goodness 

Vanilla yumminess 💕
