monthly shopping????

I have decided to only grocery shop 1 time a month (exception of milk). I am trying to make things easier for myself so only having to go to the store 1 time in a month will be hard in planning but will pay off.
Once my master list is set it won't be hard to work for the next month. I have planned 25 meals knowing that we will eat out or we will have left overs.
Friday is my day to do my first shopping. I know it will take a long time at the store I know my bill will be huge but I also know I won't have to go to the store for a month!!!
I am excited. I have always loved grocery shopping but I find it hard to do after I get out of work or traveling back into town on the weekend just to shop. I enjoy looking around exploring new items.
My plan is to go to Sam's and buy my soda, juice, paper products and some meat (which will last more the just this month) and then head over to Super Wal mart for the rest. I have my list made I just need to check a couple of things.
I get out at 2 pm on Friday's so it shouldn't be too busy but it doesn't matter because I know that I have all the time to shop. I will keep you posted on how it goes!!!

Great idea- wedding

I was at a wedding last weekend and saw a great idea (I wished I did this). The bride decided that the traditional guest book was not the way she wanted to go. She bought a book (in her case a book about horses that you would use for a coffee table book) and asked all the guest to sign a page that they liked!!! It was great. How often do you look at your guest book. Now you can leave it out everyday!!!!

Frozen LemonADE Me Pie

Frozen LemonADE Me pie
I found this recipe and thought what a nice way to cool (whip) down on a long HOT summer day! ***in picture they used orange concentrate****
  • 1 graham cracker crust
  • 1 8 oz frozen container of Cool whip
  • 1 14 oz can of sweetened condense milk
  • 1 12 oz container of frozen lemonade concentrate
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine frozen concentrate & condensed milk until blended.
  2. Fold in Cool whip, don't let it get to soupy, don't over mix
  3. Pour filling in crust. Freeze for 6-8 hours

Ideas:

  • you could use your favorite concentrate (orange, cranberry, fruit punch)
  • use a shortbread crust (I think I will use for the lemonade pie)
  • lighten up the recipe use low-fat or fat free cool whip, light sweetened condense milk & light concentrate
