FREEZER MEALS

I am addicted to Pinterest. Are you?

I have like 26 boards, so many things to love and things to try.

I have wanted to do some freezer cooking for EVER!

After pinning a zillion pins about freezer cooking I finally took the leap.

Yesterday afternoon I ran into the store and bought beef and chicken.

I came home browned the ground beef into 1 italian for spaghetti and 2 taco meats.

I boiled a bag of skinless / boneless chicken breasts with onions and green peppers.

We had tacos for dinner and then I froze all the rest.

I now have 4 meats ready to go in the freezer and 3 cups of chicken stock to add to soups or stews.

This was done in a very short time. It will really help in the next few weeks when I start my new job.

Next on my list is to actually make up some full meals to freeze.

I am thinking if I can do 3-4 each weekend I can stock up our freezer for the winter.

The fall craft fairs are in town so I am off to do a little crafting today.

Have a wonderful day!!

YUMMINESS

Do you shop at Williams-Sonoma?

I usually don't because I can't afford anything in there.

But Coco and I were wondering around the Mall recently and decided to browse.

They had samples of this pumpkin bread and pumpkin butter

They were so good we just had to have some.

I haven't made the bread yet but the butter is so good on toast or even just on a slice of bread

I have some time off this week.

I am starting a new job next week with a large bank

and I am so excited

RETAIL THERAPY

Updated

I forgot this cute Halloween pillow that I got at Ross's too

I did a little shopping today.

We FINALLY got a Ross store in our town.

It opened yesterday

Even though alot of the shelves were empty I found some awesome treasures

I got all this for $56

The pillow in the back is part of my inspiration piece for the living room.

Loved this and it fit in with my color scheme

This photo does not show the colors correctly. It has mustardy yellow, turquiose, red and green on a linen background.

Loved this bird house too and for $9.99 I couldn't pass it up

I have wanted to try this purse organizer to so at 4.99 i thought if I don't like it I won't have lost much.

We were needing more silverware and they were a steal too.

I usually only get to go to Ross when we are in Destin so I am over the moon that we have one right here!!

Scott is not so happy !! ha ha ha

CRAFTING INTO FALL

A random Friday vacation day from work.

I wasted most of it sleeping in and cruising the web!!

I did get a couple of crafts completed

I started with this black frame I already had.

Painted it white

Picked up this box of plastic pumpkins from Walmart last night

DRUMROLL PLEASE

LOVE IT

My inspiration came from here Becky Higgins

Once I went back to link this I saw that she used a green background.

I glued mine right to the glass because my glass would not come

out of the frame. I will probably go back and put some green paper in the frame.

My other project

Started with all these items

A little door dressing

Inspiration found here

I hope to work on more of Coco's bedroom furniture this weekend.

It is supposed to be in the low 70's here in Arkansas. Which might mean a new adventure instead of working at home.

Of course we'll be rooting for our HOGS to beat Texas!!!

COCKADOODLE DOO

Look what I found at Freds

Isn't he the cutest little thing!!!

I never go to Freds but I was looking for a eye mask for Scott and I didn't want to go to Walmart. Dollar General didn't have them so we decided to try Fred's.

He was the first thing I saw in the store and I just had to have him.

I will be rearranging the top of my fridge so that he has a happy place to be.

My new favorite rooster in the house!!!
