New way to get something for free.

This is the new thing I have found that is a way to earn Swag Bucks, which is a way to buy gift cards and gifts online. You earn them by using their search engine or by browsing adds. You earn 3 buck for just signing up. I am trying it and though that you all might like to as well. If you start using it as your search engine, you will earn a lot of "bucks" in no time.


Let me know what you think.

Super Simple Appetizer

Chili Cheese Fries

Bag of Steak Fries

4 oz Colby jack Cheese (shredded) 

1 can Chili with Beans

4 green onions (finely chopped)

Ranch Dressing

Fix Fries by instructions on package (I bake them to reduce grease). Shred Cheese on smallest grate on grater. Place fries on platter cover with cheese (you want to put the cheese on first to make sue it melts) cover with chili, dollop with ranch dressing then sprinkle with green onions. 

This recipe is very easy to make and can be used as an easy appetizer or as a meal. If you don't have Ranch dressing you can use sour cream.  It is a fun easy dish you can make when friends are coming over. Hope you enjoy. 

Deal of the week

Ritz Crackers and Ritz Crackerfuls for .50 cents (for both)

how to get it: Go to Target website and print out $1 off coupon for Ritz crackers, use manufacturers coupon for $1 off and use coupon for free Ritz Crackerfuls with the purchase of Ritz crackers.  I went to Target and used all three coupons, because you can stack store coupons with manufacturers coupons.  So the Crackerfuls cost $2.99 and the Ritz crackers cost $2.50 and you get both for .50 cents.  

New to this.

Well I am doing something that I never thought I would ever do, I am starting a blog.  I have always been a blog reader, not writer. But I have decided that if other people can do it so can I.
The other day I was trying and trying to think of something that I could blog about. Crafts.... No though I love them, I don't have time for them anymore, so why would I do a blog about them, Scrapbooking.... No, no time for that either. I tell you life with a newborn, really changes what you have time for and what you don't. Then I thought, saving money... no cause there are a lot of couponing sites out there already.  Then the other night at one of my 3am feeding (I am sure some of you remember those days) through my groggy stupor I thought, recipes. Then I thought, yeah that is something I don't have a choice in whether I have time for it or not, and to top it off I love to do it.
That settled it and that is what it is going to be. There is a bonus though, it won't be just recipes, I am going to try 2 to 3 recipes a week (I think Jeff is excited about the new recipes being tried part of this the most) then post them to my blog and tell you how they were and what I changed, or would change. Plus as an added bonus I am going to add in my notes where to get some of the ingredients the cheapest that week.  If I find them on sale, and for an incredible deal, I am going to pass that on to you so that you can cook for less. I am always trying to save money, and I am sure most of you are to, so if I can help you out with these recipes, I would love to.
Please post your comments so that I know if you liked the recipes too, plus it will help others know if they are going to try it next.
I hope you enjoy and I hope that you Come to my Table often for new recipes for your family.
