I have my great grandmother’s and gramma’s tablecloths and napkins in a drawer. You speaking of tablecloths brought tears to my eyes. I need to get them out and use them everyday. Nothing lasts forever. There are only a few of us left who ever knew them and can appreciate their hard working,ingenuity, and skills in so many areas. Thanks! 💙
I have one of my grandmother's that I use at Easter. I love it.
I agree! Enjoy them! If you are worried about staining them put a clear plastic tablecloth over them!
I have my family’s too. Need to use them more often.
That is my husband and my date time, grocery shopping!😂🤣I love it!
LOL! It's fun actually!
If u are not a bean person, I would use those to make a white chicken chili. You can puree some to reduce the amount of whole beans and it thickens the chili. Then, towards the end add some cream cheese to melt in. You will not regret it!
Sounds great!
This was a really fun one. I want to run to my Stop and Shop to see if we have those yellow stickers popping up among the other shockingly high prices! Thanks for all you and Paul do to keep us motivated during these unprecedented times!
I’m currently a caregiver for my 85-year-old dad while working full-time mostly remote. I try to cook on Sundays so the rest of the week it’s so simple to just heat up the meals. Today I am using a 1 pound package of chop meat and making chili with a ton of beans and vegetables, a small meatloaf That I will serve with some sort of potato and vegetable, I made chicken thighs in the crockpot yesterday and had enough leftover to make a great chicken soup so we will have that one evening as well. Friday night is always pizza night so there’s a few frozen ones or I can make homemade with a salad. One to two days a week I’m traveling so I hire an aid to stay with my dad and she will make him a sandwich or heat up leftovers, and I usually go out for lunch on the days I’m traveling so the left over lunch is my dinner. Thank you for all you do!
Wonderful! So well thought out! Great job Karline!
Emmy, when regular cake mixes expire in the pantry add a half tsp of baking powder more to the dry ingredients, and proceed then as usual.
That’s how ya gotta shop now a days Heck yeah!
YAY! Thank you!
Love the tablecloth hack. When I have a “special occasion” I’ll put my thrift store yellow tablecloth on the table and cover it with a lace curtain (thrift store, too!). Makes the table look a bit special but inexpensive to do.
Oh what a lovely idea!
I loved seeing Dixie wag her tail when you were talking to her. It made me smile. Really pretty table cloth. Jody.....
Thanks so much Joey!
Em...I can always count on your beautiful, cheerful face! Thank you!
Could you be any kinder...thank you!
A nice example of how to upscale the foundation of a tablescape.
Yes, thanks!
My meal plan for this week was Sunday night, leftover Chinese Noodles, Monday was meatless, pasta salad and corn on the cob, Tonight is pork tenderloin, Wednesday night is Tacos, Thursday is homemade pizza, Friday is Ravioli, and Saturday is any leftovers. I find meal planning makes a huge difference in my grocery spending. You always know what you are having. Thank you for sharing all your wonderful ideas!
Thanks for sharing your yummy meal plan Maria!
I look forward to your watching your Channel. Thank you .
My menu for this week, using what's in my home:

God bless
Wonderful sounding meals!! YUM! Thanks for sharing Loretta!
Emmy,just hang wrinkled items in the bathroom when you,or Paul shower.the steam removes wrinkles.
also,you can in fact bake in an air fryer.just a tip for those in a hot area.it cuts utility costs,too.in fact,under the median has several videos on how to cut utility costs
1. Marinated beef chunks and veggies= kabobs on the grill. 2. left over beef added to left over rice and beans,add salsa and sour cream=burrito bowls.3. Taco soup[leftover] make a cornbread crust and air fry.to bake. 4.pulled pork sandwiches 5.Pulled pork pizza. Pizza crust dough, made ahead and in the freezer. I will add a salad to some of these meals.
Perfect! Great meals!
Your kitchen adventure was funny. Glad someone else has Lucy moments in the kitchen.
Absolutely LOL!
Your video is so timely. My husband works for a college apartment and he found several food items (baking and canned items) next to the trash in bags, NOT expired. It’s amazing what people waste. He said he will keep an eye out for more things and we will donate to family and the our local homeless shelter.
Just please make sure they are all fully sealed and not tampered with!
You look gorgeous Emmy. Thank you for sharing this video.
You are so kind Nikita! Thank you!
I'm in a retirement community and we received a coupon from activity that happened her a month ago to go to the local farmers market and get FREE FOOD ..... We are all going tomorrow... The community bus is taking a few of us...
I'm so excited to see what this will be like, what we will come away with?!?!?!?!
Oh! Let us know!! What a great blessing! enjoy!
My grandmother had a bread shelf in her freezer, she had their favorite white& theur favorite wheat! Need a loaf? Go pull it out right after breakfast, thawed by lunch😊!
Great idea!!
Great video , thanks.
Day 1 , BBQ chicken and salad , 2, jacket potatoes, tuna and sweetcorn in mayo and salad, 3 , home made Mulligatawny soup , 4 , pasta and tomato sauce, 5, cheese and onion pie and baked beans .
Sounds great! Thanks for sharing!
Our menu this week. I already made corn chowder and beef stew and Sheppard’s pie and beef and broccoli. I like to cook batches. I have salad for the sides. Also made lemon chicken. Super simple and easy. Also have hummus with crackers, cheese, olives, and pickles as a snack.
So smart to batch cook!!
My meal plan for the week: chicken thighs and rice with home grown green beans, homemade hamburger helper beef noodle with grown corn 🌽, chicken fried rice, chili Mac with jalapeño corn bread, homemade chicken pasta roni with broccoli. I freeze any leftovers for no cook days.
Sounds so good! Thanks!
Love your doggy!!
Thanks so much Debi!
i just cooked a bag of dried beans, so my meals this week will be bean based... So, i will do baked beans with mashed potatoes, bean rice (portuguese recipe) with pan fried fish and green beans, veggie lasagne (no beans in it), bean and cabbage soup and pasta with chicken and peppers (no beans as well).
I have a very limited freezer space, so when i cook dried beans i eat half of it during that week, and freeze half and eat it during the rest of the month and the next month. i do it every other month, so we have a cheap and nutritious ingredient to base our meal, but don't get tired of eating always the same. it helps that we love beans.
That is so very smart Nadia!
I’ve been prepping my food stores and freezers for a good year and a half because we saw what was coming. We have inflation that is here now. So glad we stocked the freezers. The pantry is filling up with self stable foods. Don’t forget to have some canned milk, freeze some eggs if you get them on a good sale! Winter is coming and the droughts of this year will impact next year. Be ready people, a little stock up every week with bargains slow and steady wins the race.❤️🙏🏻
YES! Absolutely right!
👍👍👍
We prepare for fall my washing off the leaves of our houseplant that have been outside all summer before bringing back in this weekend.
Sloppy joes w/chips, ham dinner w/potatoes & green beans, coneys or hot dogs (using up leftovers), quiche (using up leftovers), veggie pizza/pizza muffins are on our menu plan this week.
Sounds great!
I do that with my table clothes as well. My menu for the week is simple. 1. Sausages, mushrooms & onions on a bun with coleslaw & cob of corn 2. Chicken with mushroom sauce over rice 3. Pasta & sundried tomato & meat sauce with garden salad.4. Pork schnitzel with scalloped potatoes & carrots. 5. Sausage, western omelette & perogies. 6 Special meal this week=lobster tails, homemade mac & cheese and corn on cob. (we got lobster tails for $2.50 CND @ $1.95 USD each) 7. Grilled cheese sandwiches & tomato soup.
WOW! That lobster price is amazing!
@@FrugalMoneySaver We went back for more and the staff had wiped it out. There was an error in pricing. It was suppose to be on sale for $6 each. Yikes! Happy we got enough 4 tails, that will do us 2 meals.
In thanks for different things I do for them my friends keep me in summer vegetables. I put up 10 quarts of green beans , made 8 pints of refrigerator pickles and froze a bunch of zucchini. We also are lucky enough to have an abundance of sweet corn in our area of Ny . 5$ per dozen for corn . We eat want we want and cut off the rest for the freezer. I picked blueberries for 9$ per gallon bucket and froze them .
Sounds great! So many fresh veggies and fruit!
I love meal planning, I feel lost when I don’t have a meal plan for the week. This coming week will be roast chicken w/squash from the garden, then I will use the remaining chicken for chicken and biscuits for Sunday dinner. That’s my husband’s favorite meal. Monday will be bow tie pasta with sausage, sweet potato, and spinach from the garden, this will have a cream sauce to blend it all together. Tuesday we will have acorn squash from the garden stuffed with sausage and stuffing. Wednesday will be Mac and cheese with ham. I canned the ham earlier in the year. I’ll cook summer squash as a side dish, again from the garden. Thursday I am going to make risotto and I am going to try beet risotto. I’ve never made it but we have beets that a friend gave us from his garden and I thought we would give it a try. I will make a loaf of homemade bread to go with a couple of these meals too. If I get too many negative comments on the beet risotto from my sons I can switch it to mushroom risotto. My husband brought home a small bag of chanterelle mushrooms he picked yesterday and they are always a hit in our house.
Your meals sound so delicious! Thanks so much! 😊
Those are some great finds! This week I have planned: crock pot red beans with rice, veggie fried rice (using leftover rice from meal number 1), spaghetti with homemade marinara, baked potato and salad, diy pizza night (using leftover marinara) and then leftovers for lunches.
Perfect! Sounds great!
great buys..RaRa...
Getting ready for fall by making sure my shelves and freezers are stocked.
Smart!
Last night was salmon with a tomato jalepeno rice.
Tonight is pizza for my granddaughters birthday.
We are having a cool spell this week so I am making chili Thursday.
Oh sounds great!
5 evening meals this week (keto):
Cauli pizza crust salami and mushroom pizza, barramundi and cauliflower salad with home made tomato relish, roast pork shoulder and crackle with green beans, chicken kyiv, skewered meatballs. Bon appetit!!!
YUM! Thanks!
TJ WHIPPED CREAM: I would have used the buttermilk to make pancakes or waffles and then served the sweetened butter with the pancakes/waffles along with some strawberries and bacon on the side to tone down the sweetness. Yum!
Great ideas!
Great finds!
Thanks Lisa!
Love the tablecloth! I have fiestaware dishes that match it perfectly!
Sounds lovely!
When you make baked beans with the navy beans, sweeten with the molasses!
YES! Exactly!
You can also take a tablespoon of black strap molasses if you are anemic. It builds up your iron!!
Thanks for sharing!
Oh I think we’ve all had those moments! You could freeze the sweet butter and then save it to put on pancakes, waffles, etc.
Meals this week for us are
Chili, Asian style pork meatballs, taco meat (all three are already cooked or prepped and are in the freezer) pea and ham Alfredo, homemade pizza, and leftovers
All of that sounds delicious!
LoL
The whipped cream ..... 🤭😁🤭
OMG
I can not believe that chicken came out alright..... ❣️
Honestly, it was delish!! The lemon counteracted the sweetness LOL!
My meal plan for five days:
Tuesday-Rotini pasta with sauce made of fresh tomatoes/garlic/onion from my garden and a whole bag of spinach that got accidentally frozen and I didn't want to waste it. I cooked the pasta while I sauteed the vegetables and then put them in the blender--it made a beautiful emerald green sauce. We had it with some canned green beans and a fruit salad made with fresh nectarine, a cup of pineapple, two strawberries from the garden, 1/2 cup of vanilla yogurt and a handful of mini marshmallows (treat for my husband)
Wednesday - Crockpot beef stew (with potatoes and carrots from my garden) and cornbread sticks
Thursday - ham slices with scalloped potatoes and broccoli
Friday - some kind of shrimp recipe (I bought some frozen shrimp at my last Sam's Club shopping trip)
Saturday - grill-out with chicken breasts, corn on the cob, and cucumber/tomato/onion salad
YUM! All of your meals sound great! thank you!
Day 1. Pork loin in the crockpot with rice and au jus
Day 2 Pork fried rice from leftovers
Day 3 Cheese hot dogs and baked beans
Day 4 rest of the pork loin turned into hash over mashed potatoes with baby carrots
Day 5 Deli sandwich and chips
All of those meals sound great!
@@FrugalMoneySaver thank you! My daughter calls me the left over Queen!!😁😁😁😁
I used to have a really small table in my studio apartment.
I also love those Old linen one's as well.
So I just tied the ends underneath the table ... Lightly to not ruin it.. but it works perfectly
Great idea!
Great video as always
Thank you Elaine!
Hamburger hash, spinach and mushroom tortellini, chicken enchiladas, Italian sausage with penne, and minestrone in the crockpot...
Yum!
My meal plan: sweet potato shepards pie ; sweet and sour smoked sausage with rice ; chicken wings with fries and salad; steak fajitas; and Alberta style beef on a bun 😊
YUM! Sounds delicious!
Tater tot casserole (green beans, raw hamburger, cream of whatever soup, tater tots)…400 degrees for about 45 min. Best casserole ever.
Thank you!
Love your tablecloth. I have several also. Just love them and use them frequently.
I also collect green FireKing.
Oh lovely!
My mother made (or attempted to make) cooked old fashion fudge but it wouldn't thicken up so she was going to throw it out in her frustration. My brother made the best brownies I've ever eaten with that failed fudge!
My mother was known for making fudge that never hardened, but it never stopped her from trying. As soon as she started making it, it was time to run to the store for vanilla ice cream. It made the BEST hot fudge sundaes!
Yes! That's the way to do it!
I ruined some apple muffins once. They came out too dry. I salvaged them by turning them into bread pudding. My kids still ask- can you ruin some muffins soon so you can make that bread pudding?
The last time I made meatloaf I doubled it by adding lentils cooked in beef broth to my beef. I froze the extra meat loaf for a night that we need an easy meal. Doubling recipes and freezing for later can be a great “fast food” solution.
Yes, you are so right! Thanks!
Spinach and cottage cheese cannelloni, tuna pot pie, roasted vege quiche, mince pasties for dh and vege for me, chicken burritos. Thanks for your video ❤️
Sounds great! Thanks for watching Maria!
Emmy, I know you love your iced coffee so try a tablespoon of that molasses in your iced coffee with a little whipped cream for a Fall treat that is amazing! And if you want to go wild put some sprinkles on top! Also great for hot coffee...
OH YES! Great idea!
Another winning video.
My five meals:
1.Tuna pasta casserole.
2. Pasta with red sauce and small amount of ground beef, green salad.
3. Chili cheese hotdogs on buns.
4. Tacos, burrito's all the fixings.
5. Chicken with sweet fire sauce and pineapple, rice with mixed veggies.
YUM!! Sounds great Terri!
Oh my, I had the best laugh….not at you, but with you 🤣🤣 For me, meal planning is the cats meow…..thanks for staying real….
It looked like a solution...thanks Paul LOL!
Congratulations on the great prices you got. That is wonderful.! I caught a really good sale this past weekend iga cake mixes were 65 cents each I can’t make them homemade that cheap. Beef Round roast $3.99 lb, whole pork loin $1.81 lb brown sugar and powdered sugar 77 cents for 2 lb bags 1 lb bacon 2.68. Meal planning is kind of easy for me because I start the year before by what I grow in the garden, the chickens we breed and raise for eggs and meat and by buying meat on sale and pressure canning and or freezing. 1. Roast pork, homemade brown gravy, mashed potatoes and green beans, 2. Sweet n sour pork stir fried vegetables and rice, 3. Pork egg rolls, rice, homemade dipping sauce, 4. Fried boneless loin pork chops, fried corn, mashed potatoes, all of the pork except chops are pressure canned in quarts in my pantry ,5. Chicken a la king ,peas, cornbread, 6 chicken pot pie, 7 chicken salad sandwiches and fries, 8 chicken noodle soup, salad, 9 chicken n dumplings, mashed potatoes, green beans, 10 fried catfish, French fries coleslaw , homemade onion rings 11 tuna salad sandwiches fries or chips, 12. Air fried salmon Pattie’s , creamed peas, fried potatoes 13. Pinto beans with ham broth, fried potatoes cornbread14. Pulled pork barbecue, homemade homecanned baked beans, potato salad or coleslaw 15 sausage eggs gravy biscuits and hashbrowns . Spaghetti or lasagna salad and cheesy garlic toast. Tonight was quick and easy bacon, scrambled eggs, pancakes and waffles. This week I have been pressure canning some of the beef round roast that I got for such a great price one way is it is in a red wine broth with shredded carrots and apple a ball blue book recipe, the other is seared on both sides cut in one inch thick pieces just the size to fit a wide mouth jar with sliced mushrooms and broth, some will be cut in strips and seasoned with soy sauce, ginger and garlic for quick and easy pepper steak. I hope this gives you some ideas and hopefully helps . Love your videos. God bless you and your family.
WOW! I am so very impressed Joyce! Thanks so much for taking the time to share that! So inspiring!
That was a funny story glad you got to use it…..😊❤️
Yes it was! Yup, I was determined to find some way to use it LOL!
Thank you Emmi and Paul for your delightful videos! You teach, encourage, and are an all around blessing! Meal plan ideas: 1)slow cook chuck roast in beef broth from this one dinner with the beef + sautéed bell pepper and onions + roasted zucchini and brown rice; 2)another night using the slow cooked beef--add flour to the broth to make gravy and a can of mushrooms and pour over slices of homemade bread + fresh veggies;3) use the leftover rice more of the beef and some canned beans to make burritos ( add salsa and cheese to taste); 4)BBQ some chicken to serve with rice or roasted potato wedges and salad; 5)use leftover chicken for a salad with lettuce and other veggies; 6)use leftover chicken to make a taco night -- use the bones to make broth in my slow cooker
All of that sounds delicious Mary! Thank you!
@@FrugalMoneySaver Thank you 😊
Love how you rescued the whipping cream/butter. Beautiful tablecloth 😍 My meal plan for this week is: (1) Mock “crab” cakes with homemade tarter sauce and fried potatoes, (2) Veggie burgers, chips & melon, (3) Pasta with peppers, (4) Caesar salad , & (5) Julie beans (crockpot beans in a homemade bbq sauce) with green salad
Sounds delicious! What do you use in the mock crab cakes instead of crab?
@@FrugalMoneySaver zucchini- old bay spice makes the difference. I found the recipe from “That 1870’s Homestead” here in UA-cam. I didn’t have Panko breadcrumbs so I crushed saltines and didn’t add any extra salt.
1-Kraut and hot dogs with beans and cornbread, 2-salmon patties (canned salmon) w/ veggies, 3-pesto turkey meatballs and marinara sauce over pasta, 4-chef salad with egg and whatever is in the crisper, 5-Greek yogurt bowl with chia seeds, pepitas, and strawberries.
Sounds wonderful!
Loaded potato soup with homemade bread, Polish sausage with cabbage and potatoes, Rib tips with left over sausage and cabbage, Omelets and toast, Grilled Chicken breast on a mixed salad, and left over potato soup. That's what's on the menu this week.
All of that sounds great! Thanks!
Oh, I do so love Gingerbread. My mother would put applesauce and whipped cream on it, or a nutmeg sauce...I can still taste it. I found decaf black tea for 1.48 / 64 ct. Yeah, I know! Dixie, you are looking pretty sharp, my little Diva!
Dixie the Diva says ythanks so m
Omg I miss New York hard rolls! Whenever our family visit us in North Carolin, we ask them to bring hard rolls. I always cut them before freezing them and they do freeze perfectly.
Yes, so yummy!
Hi 🤗. It's February 12, 2023 and catching up on your videos 🤗
Yay! Thank you!
@@FrugalMoneySaver You're Welcome but Thank you 💞
This video is jam packed with amazing tips! Love the tablecloth hack!
YAY JAN!!! Alway so happy to see you here!! Thanks for coming by!
@@FrugalMoneySaver my absolute love to place to be!
We are having chicken fajitas, chicken alfredo, hamburgers, chicken tenders, grilled cheese and hot dogs this week. Chicken was on sale last week!
Sounds great!
Hi Emmy and Paul. Meal plan: We have cooked chicken that will be the entree for 3 nights .... will add potatoes (from our garden) 2 nights and rice 1 night, canned veggie and fresh cut up veggies (whatever in refrig); pasta and tomatoe sauce with fresh cut-up veggies; and egg and cheese sandwich with veggies. Enjoy the week. God Bless.
Perfect menus! God bless you as well! Thank you!
I do that also with tablecloths. Also, I have put colorful vintage tablecloth over the foot of beds in spare bedrooms in the summer for a summery look. Molasses - my grandma's Christmas molasses cookie...so good and chewy! That was a super shopping haul.
That's a great idea Sis! What a way to brighten a room!
I try to plan dinner meals for a week at a time, in writing. If I’ll be using a recipe, I note the cookbook and page. Then I save all my menu sheets for future inspiration.
For example:
1. Roast pork loin
Long-grain and wild rice mix
Corn
2. Chicken and biscuit casserole (using a pint of home canned boneless breast)
Side salads
3. Homemade Lasagna(made ahead freezer meal)
Salad
4. Pork paprikash (using diced pork left from roast) over noodles
Side salad
5. Burritos (made ahead freezer meal)
Tortilla chips
Spanish rice
Those meals all sound delicious!
Good morning to you!
You got some great prices on your food haul!
A typical week for me meal planning is something like this.
Monday- Grilled chicken sliced and served on a salad, with buttered bread on the side.
Tuesday - Veggie burgers and brussel sprouts with cottage cheese.
Wednesday - cheese omelette with sausage and toast.
Thursday - cabbage and potatoes with stock and smoked kielbasa.
Friday- spaghetti with garlic bread.
Yummy sounding menu! Thank you!
5 meals. Leftover Lasagna from the freezer with some sauteed power greens, cabbage, carrots, cherry tomatoes onions and roasted garlic. Breakfast for dinner with buckwheat pancakes and home fries. Lentil stew with whatever veggies are in the house. Baked potatoes with salsa, sliced cucumber and onions. Cornbread and instant pot BBQ pinto beans, sliced tomatoes.
The molasses is a great buy. I use molasses in my beans and sometimes on cornbread!! I have also done it on pancakes instead of maple syrup! Thanks for the video!
Gwen your meals sound delicious and healthy!!
This weeks meal plan started on Sunday, 8/14. My birthday was Sunday and to be frugal my husband cooked for me instead of going out. He grilled sirloin steaks I got on sale and also hamburger and hot dogs since the charcoal was hot. Steak and grilled potatoes on Sunday. Burgers on Monday with potato salad made with some leftover grilled potatoes. Hot dogs on Tuesday with baked beans. Leftover cold steak salad on Wednesday. Remaining leftovers on Thursday. Friday is charcuterie board and cocktails. This is a great week since most of the cooking is already done. My husband works for a dairy and often brings home pints of heavy cream that are near expiration and can’t be sold. I use my stand mixer to make butter at least twice a month. Once it’s chilled I cut into cubes and freeze.
First off... HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! Hope your day was just wonderful!! I adore that you make your own butter!!
❤ the tablecloth. I always layer mine. Some great finds. I always shop loss leaders. Last week I bought a full grown rosemary plant for 50 cents and dried it. About 3/4 of a spice jar for 50 cents...it's fresh and aromatic. 5 day meal plan from the house: spag with meatballs, butter chicken over rice, tuna salad with crackers, chef salads (just bought a head of lettuce) with meat, cheese & veggies from the garden, boneless chicken breasts with fresh brussel sprouts.
All those meals sound great!
Beautiful scenery Ritzi and Me DixieBelle and Paul and Emmy Love 💘 ❤ 💕 💖 💗 ♥
Love to you both! thank you!
You might could have added honey to the sweet butter and had a honey butter spread for bread or biscuits.
Yes, but it was so sweet already LOL!!!
Challenge accepted! Making meal plan with what is on hand in my pantry fridge and freezer.
Breakfast for dinner~eggs, bacon , cheese grits and toast

soup
chili(use leftover sloppy Joe meat)
pasta with meat sauce
Sounds great Rochelle! Thanks!

Oh sounds delicious Lidia!!
You guys are great! Thank you for the true kitchen stories.
Thanks for watching!!
Have been doing that with table cloths for years! Card table cloths are very easy to find. I also twist too-small rectangular cloths and using them like a table runner or scarf
I wish I knew sooner lol!
Pork chops mash potatoes broccoli and gravy. Thick vege and ham hock soup with hot buttered rolls. Air fried chicken strips, sweet potato chips and green salad. Stir fry teriyaki beef with vege and noodles. eggs or breakfast pancakes for dinner. Home made take out fish /chicken soft tacos And lastly i will make a picking platter to use up and little leftovers add in some cheese crackers pickles fruit what every you have needing finishing up. 7 days of evening meals for my family this coming week. (Sue---New Zealand=currently winter here)
What a great sounding menu plan! Thank you!
1) whole roasted chicken w/ mash potatoes, roasted carrots, and zucchini, 2) grilled steak, baked potatoes, grilled asparagus, tomato and cucumber salad, 3)baked salmon with orzo and veggie salad, 4)chicken tacos (made w/leftover roasted chicken, rice and beans, 5) Philly cheesesteak sandwiches (made with leftover grilled steak) topped with sautéed spinach with garlic, onions, peppers, and mushrooms, and some fresh fruit
Really wonderful menu! Thank you!
❣️
I use this table cloth hack as well. Like you I have a round table and many vintage square table cloths that just don't fit! 🙂 Meal plans .. frittata and salad...crispy chicken cutlets, homemade mac n cheese with broccoli....bacon and tomato sandwiches(so many tomatoes right now).....pot roast with yorkshire pudding..... sausage, peppers and onions. Wonderful discounted items you found! 😁
Thanks for sharing Tracey!
Great table cloth hack. Awesome haul from Stop and Save. I wish we had one around here. I'm going to be working on meal plans this weekend. I used to do this regularly but my mom lives with us and is a wonderful cook so she usually plans the meals. We are going to sit down together and take inventory of what we have in the freezer and pantry and plan from there. I'm going to show her a few of your videos as inspiration 😁. We figured out this week that we are 4 years away from paying off our mortgage and I'd like to implement more frugal habits so maybe we could pay extra and get it paid off sooner!
YAY!! Jodi that is wonderful! You can do it! Think of us as your cheerleaders encouraging you!
You can make brown sugar with the molasses
Great grocery haul and what a chuckle over the heavy cream. You and Paul are the bomb! A grocery store "date" is something hubby and I would do.
So fun right!
Maybe a little cinnamon in the sweet butter would have made good cinnamon toast or cooked apples? 😊
Yes! That would of worked maybe!
Another option for that tablecloth is to fold each side into the center so you can see just the flowers and use it as a table runner on top of the pink tablecloth, just to change it up. 😀 Deals are definitely harder to find, especially where we are in Florida. Definitely searching them out and using what we have until we can find them. Before I use to buy whatever we wanted, now I stop and think about what we really need instead of impulse buying. If you can get more of that corn, par boil it, let it cool and then freeze it to enjoy later. I love to keep some in the freezer and today I just did it with fresh Georgia peaches. Thanks for a great video!
Meal Plan:
Buffalo chicken baked potatoes...chicken breast (or your favorite type) sliced, pan fried and tossed in buffalo sauce, add to top of baked potato, add on shredded cheese, ranch dressing and bacon crumbles
Burrito bowls..taco meat served on top of rice and served with a variety of toppings, depending on what you have..sour cream, avocado, salsa, shredded cheese, jalapeños, etc.
Cajun chicken and potatoes...chicken breast (or your favorite type) sliced, pan fried, add in sliced crispy potatoes (do this ahead of time) add in a can of corn and toss in cajun seasoning.
Buffalo chicken wraps...store bought chicken tenders, fried, oven or air fryer, your choice, toss in buffalo sauce, serve in tortilla with coleslaw.
Hamburger stew...I usually serve this with either crackers, cornbread or hush puppies, but it is good just on its own, top it with shredded cheese, so good!
What a delicious sounding meal plan! Thank you!
Definitely go back and get more squash! I just made ratatouille and it was delicious! We don’t like eggplant, so I just cubed 2 zucchini and 2 yellow squash, a large red onion, and tossed those in olive oil. I added a can of diced tomato…including the juice. I poured that on a sheet pan and added a little salt and pepper and some Italian seasoning. I baked it in the oven until the edges started to brown a little (about 30 minutes). It made a delicious vegetable for dinner that night. I refrigerated the leftovers and served a small bowl of it cold with each of our lunches the next day and I still have about one serving left. I think I’ll serve that with scrambled eggs for lunch on Thursday. Next time I’m at the store, I’m buying more of those ingredients so I can made this again. You can use diced garden tomatoes in this recipe, but I loved the extra sauciness of the canned tomatoes.
That's sounds delicious Linda!

Perfect Ros!
Oh, my, I hope you have some of that butter left; I believe it's on its way to being buttercream icing!
No, all gone but GREAT idea!
Congrats on those geat deals! Meals I plan to have this week to use up what needs using include: falafel wraps with veggies and hummos, left over homemade pizza (just a couple slices left), salad with a couple of cheese ends shredded into it, homemade manicotti that has been sitting in the freezer too long, pierogi with sauteed veg and apple sauce. Also have pre-made pancakes and french toast in freezer to use up for multiple breakfasts/brunches.
All sounds delicious!
Nice mini haul. I love the Pop Tarts raw straight out of the packaging.
You and Paul LOL!
