"Can We Talk"

I hope everyone has sufficiently recovered from the Super Bowl! I have, it took a day but alas I am ready to move on to new things.

I wanted to share with each of you a great new website. Now y'all know how this southern girl loves to save money. I do, I admit it! But not only that, I love to share my bargains with other people. No need to be a hog about it, I want everyone to save MONEY!

One of our conversations on Sunday night was all about coupons and getting the most bang for your buck. In this same conversation be talked about stockpiling. I know that sounds very depression like. But this is really how you save more money. When your favorite items are on sale and you have lots of coupons, go to that store a bunch of times, take the family (make it an outing).
"City Slicker" is over here laughing because I drag him and "Mr. Teacher" with me all the time. Every family needs to be bonded over saving money.

OK, I hear you! Here is the new website www.couponalbum.com.

I discovered this little gem yesterday, take some time and browse around.
Let me hear from you.
HELLO, is this thing on!

Have a great day!

"Can We Talk"

I hope all of you are getting ready for your Super Bowl parties!

Lots of good food and lots of fun to plan. We are expecting about 25 here and so all of the prep work has been done. Had a baby shower to go to but "City Slicker" took care of dessert. That man of mine is such a good helper. "Mr. Teacher" is making his wings and there will also be other yummy treats. I have decided to add a little more fun to half time, well can you guess? Giveaways, gotta have something free!

It is still a little frosty here in Texas and both of the sweet men in my life keep telling me that it is still winter. I hate it when they are so logical! YES I know that it is still WINTER, but we live in Texas. That is what makes football season so great, COLD. Winters here are not supposed to be really cold.
Yeah RIGHT!

Well back to football, being a Louisiana girl of course I will be rooting for those Saints of mine. So I will leave with a really big.

"WHO DAT"

I was going to post a wonderful new recipe today, but my head is about to explode so I will wait for another day.

Hope each of you have had a good start to your week. I am posting "Mr. Teacher's" wing recipe so that you can plan ahead to this Sunday's great Super Bowl game.
I have listed the items I will be having at our house. All of these are under the "Cooking Made Easy" tab.

Black Bean & Corn Salsa
Jalapeno Ranch Dip
Wings
Sausage Wraps

And of course I am allowing my guest to bring some great food as well!

More later this week! (after the head explodes, I might even post photos)

"Can We Talk"

I know that it is not Friday, but Saturday is a good day too! Well I promised you yesterday I would talk about a new blog! It is wonderful, creative and I just know y'all are going to love it.

It is called "Dixie Lust", what a great name for a blog. And guess what else she is a southern girl, I told you I thought I had found a long lost relative. Only thing is she is a little younger than I am. OK a lot younger than I am. I have to tell you a little secret, I wish she lived here. I just know "Mr Teacher" would love her
(yes I am still on matchmaker restrictions).

Anyway check out her blog "Dixie Lust", she loves to give away stuff as well. And it is almost Mardi Gras season. You know us southern girls, we love life, love fine things and especially LOVE the people we call family.

Y'all be sure and check out this blog TODAY.
Thanks so much for a letting me share your blog, Miss Dixie Lust.

"Can We Talk"

I can not believe it is already Wednesday!

I have not been excessively busy but for some reason time is running right past me at the speed of sound. We are expecting more cold weather later this week. For those of you who know me best you know that I do not enjoy winter very much.
These smart aleck guys I live with love to keep reminding me that it is still
January and therefore must still be WINTER.

I hate it when my man sasses me!

I have discovered a new favorite blog! I am going to tease you until Friday, but you will be excited because I think I have finally found a long lost younger counterpart of myself. Who would have known that she was out there. I am having a little girl crush myself. Can't wait to share this new yummy blog!

Also, I tried a new apple tart recipe this past weekend and it passed the guy test. Can't wait to share it with you. Email me if you need some great Super Bowl recipes.

Smooches!

Oh one more thing, I did get 1 response about a give a way and Holley thinks she should have an advantage since she is the only one that responded. I will have to give this some thought! UM!

"Cooking Made Easy"

As promised here is my sweet sister in law's Chicken Cheese Ball. It is so yummy and great for the final football games of the season. Hope you enjoy!

Have a great weekend!

"Can We Talk"

Just wanted each of you to know that I haven't forgotten about the new recipe that I am going to post. It will be up tomorrow.

Next week feels like a giveaway week. What do y'all think? Let me know, if I don't hear from you I will guess that you don't want something free.

Still receiving comments about my new "Bowl" game title.
Primarily from the men folk.

I do have something funny to share with you guys. When I was in India one of my friends from Ohio kept trying to aggravate me so I would drop my r's. He thought it was soooooo funny, I alas did not. Anyway yesterday he is sitting in my office and I am typing away and start laughing. He of course asked me what was so funny. I proceeded to show him what I had typed. Foevah, how is that for dropping r's. I even type in southern, oh well love what I am.

Great Thursday to ya!
