Clever Uses For Leftovers!

With our wonderful harvest of vegetables this year I have to be careful when I ask the kids to get me some potatoes for supper! Son, Jake got six for me the other night for supper and I ended up with a whole big bowl of mashed potatoes for supper... So mom has to get creative with leftovers! Our Monday supper was baked ham and mashed potatoes. Yum! Basically, a free meal considering we bought half a pig this summer from a MS fundraiser for only $80 or basically $1.25 a pound for chops, bacon, ham, roasts and ground sausage. Remember to take advantage of these opportunities to save your family some money and help others out.

Tuesdays breakfast was leftover mashed potatoes and ham turned into crispy fried hash browns and cubed ham. Tuesdays supper was Cheesy Broccoli Potato Soup with hot ham and cheese sandwiches, again a reasonable meal considering the broccoli and potatoes were from our garden (recipe follows).


Wednesdays supper was a Ham, Pea and Noodle hot dish that I remember my mom making when I was growing up and I still have the ham bone left for a future soup supper! Check out the picture...we fondly called this potato Mr. Potato Head!

Cheesy Broccoli Potato Soup
4 c frozen broccoli
2 c leftover mashed potatoes
2 c Velveeta Cheese
4 c milk
1 c chicken stock
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper

Combine all ingredients and cook on low in slow cooker for 4-6 hrs.

Ham, Pea and Noodle Hot Dish
1 can cream of celery soup
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 c water
1 can cut mushrooms
1 bag curly noodles, cooked
2 cups frozen peas
3 cups cooked ham, diced
Salt and pepper to taste
Combine all ingredients in large casserole and cook for 1 hr at 350'.

ENJOY!

Almost FREE!!

Here is just another reason I like shopping at Cub. I sent my daughter, Emily, to the grocery store today to pick up a few things. This is what she came home with.
2 - bottles Hunt's Ketchup
4 - boxes Post Select cereal
2 - cans Healthy Choice soup
4 - cans Chef Boyardee Ravioli
1 - box Banquet Breakfast Sausage Links
2 - gal. Milk = 22.54 after cpns and Catalinas her total is $4.32 and she was given a $3 coupon back so for all the products listed she will have spent $1.32. That's an average of 9¢ per item. An awesome shopping trip!!

Total to date savings is $2,457.41.

The Garden Frenzy Comes To An End!!

Where have the last two months gone?? I've been canning, freezing, canning, freezing everything I could get my hands on in the garden! And the freezer is full. A nice feeling going into winter. The kids are tired of vegetables so now I have to get creative in my uses for vegetables. I just have a few squash left so have been freezing and baking with squash. Just yesterday I made a squash bread, squash soup and chicken stew with squash! The chicken stew and squash bread turned out great, wasn't to keen on the squash soup :( DH ate it though! This picture is just one of many trips to the garden this fall.

Pillsbury simply... Refrigerated Cookies

Have you tried the Pillsbury simply... Refrigerated Cookies? Me either! Let me explain....I belong to Pssst with General Mills and once in a while I get coupons to try their new products. Well this week I received a coupon for a free package of Pillsbury simply... Refrigerated Cookies so out I went to buy them. When I got home I asked my 13 year old son to make them. So he turned on the oven, opened the package, set the cookies on a cookie sheet, baked them and out came fresh cookies. The fresh smell of peanut butter cookies drew in dear hubby and rest of the family. The next morning I thought I would enjoy one with my coffee! Not!!

Rumor is though that they are really good!! And filled with simple, wholesome ingredients that everyone can understand like... flour, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla, 0g trans fat, no high fructose corn syrup, no artificial colors or flavors and no preservatives.


I think they are on the expensive side for just 12 cookies in a package, suggested retail price is $3.49. Although using a coupon always helps and right now Pillsbury is offering $1.00 off each package. That's only $2.49 a package or around 21¢ per cookie. You can find chocolate chip and peanut butter simply…™ cookies in the refrigerated section of your grocery store. For more information, recipes and other cookie ideas, visit www.pillsbury.com.

Introducing Pledge Fabric Sweeper for Pet Hair. Just got my new Bzz Campaign package in the mail the Pledge Fabric Sweeper. This a brand new product. It picks up as much pet hair as 145 sticky lint roller sheets! Lasts about 3-5 weeks, with daily use and you just toss it out and buy a new one. I tried this as soon as I got it and it works great! You can even see the hair it's picking up. It even picked up my daughters long hair!

I just can't say enough about this product and how handy it was. Check it out for yourself www.pledge.com/multi-surface-aerosol/.
