Meal Plan Friday!

Ok I changed the name around a bit but you still get to see what we're eating :) Here goes for the next two weeks. This will start when hubby gets his check tomorrow. I'm no longer putting my meals in order by day of the week. I've found it's easier to make a list of meals and shop for those; then on hard days, I can pick something easier to make. Here goes:)

1. Homemade chicken soup for my Jon.
2. Chicken on salad greens w/soup.
3. Chicken tacos with all the toppings..
4. Goulash with salad and garlic bread - mmmm!
5. Pizza on the grill with salad.
6. BBQ chicken, and potato salad.
7. Fried chicken fingers, mashed potatoes and salad.
8. Fish, baked potatoes and coleslaw.
9. Frankfurters (from Turtlebee Farms) tator tots and veggie.
10. Breakfast for dinner using sausage from Turtlebee Farms and eggs from a local farm.
11. BLT's - bacon from Turtlebee Farms. Maybe some homemade guacamole and chips too.
12. Eating out - giving mama a break!
13. Crockpot roast, carrots and onions served with mashed potatoes.
14. Tuna noodle casserole with applesauce.

My Adult Tonsillectomy Story

Post Surgery as soon as I arrived home. For anyone who really knows me, I have always been completely terrified of surgery.  So when I went to an ENT and he said I needed a tonsillectomy I was not very happy.  I found out in either January or February and I couldn't make my appointment till the end of June because that's when my husband could get off work to help out.  I wrote this so I could hopefully help someone going through the same thing.  Without further ado, here goes. Week Before Surgery: This is when I started purchasing everything I had seen online that might be helpful.  I also started setting up an area on the main floor where I could be inclined for sleeping and have everything at my finger tips.  At the bottom of this post I will have a list of items that I personally found helpful for my recovery.  I also have food allergies and tried to stay away from them as much as possible.  So my food options may seem different than ma...

Gardening tips on a budget

Matt planting our $5 tree. It's 3 years old now and is gorgeous!!! A variety of basil panted in a container. Our lovely calendula. This is a family favorite grown from seed. Cherry tomatoes. Squash Another variety of basil. That was just a bit of what I grew a couple years ago. Bean plant. Lovely lavender! Many times I've wanted to plant a massive garden or have several plants I could simply not afford. Not just that but other things such as mulch, weed blankets and more. I hope you find the tips below as helpful as we have. Please feel free to add your own gardening tips. 1. Purchase trees at the end of the season. We've gotten a few trees for $5 and $10 at the end of the season. We planted them and they've done just fine! Talk about a huge savings! You can also do this with bulbs and other plants. :) 2. Use newspaper for weed barrier protection instead of the weed blankets. You'll want to do this fairly thick; anywhere from 5...

2020 From A Chronic Illness Warrior

Friends, the year 2020 has definitely looked different that’s for sure.  It’s been interesting talking to my other friends with chronic illnesses and getting their perspective.  For me this is what has changed.   Positives: There have been more online freebies as far as events than I have ever seen. This has been great for the person with chronic illness and we all hope some of these things continue.  Things such as online church, zoo, ballets, concerts, etc.   No more trying to fake feeling good when I had to go out because I’m not getting out.   So many more places are doing online pick up instead of just Walmart and Kroger. I needed those services before coronavirus hit the United States. Now having so many more options; it’s been a wonderful!! People finally don’t guilt trip me into going to events and family functions because they know I’m high risk. Before I felt like I had to explain away everything if I didn’t feel good enough to go somewhere. ...
