DarcyLee at In This Season gave me this Kreativ Blogger Award. Thanks DarcyLee. It was nice of you to think of me.
One of the rules to this award is that I must list seven things I love….only 7? Okay!
1. My Husband.
2. My cats.
3. My family & friends.
4. My country.
5. Blogging & doing creative stuff.
6. Good music & Good Food.
7. Learning/Education (I’m a nerd!)
Now I must pass this award along to some great bloggers. It’s always so hard choosing, because there are so many great blogs out there. This time I’ve chosen a handful of blogs that are kind of new to me, some of which I found during the Ultimate Blog Party.
Brea’s Mommy
Peanut Butter and Smelly’s Dad
GEORGIKIDS
Kara’s Kitchen Creations
Katiecakes
Teresa’s Treasures
Sweet Southern Journey
Congrats and keep up the good work!

Today I visited a new blog (new to me anyway) called Family Traditions…One Story at A Time. It seemed like a pretty cool place. And this month she’s giving away a free business kit to one lucky visitor. Since I’m always interested in learning about new business opportunities, I thought I’d give it a shot. If you’d like to enter, head over to her site and check it out.

So here is the tentative plan. I have a couple of new things to try this week. I’ll let you know how they turn out. And I have a few links here for you too.
Breakfasts – cereal, pancakes w/ bacon, oatmeal
Lunches – Left over Potato Soup, Chicken Noodle Soup, ham sandwiches, hot dogs, and one day we’ll be having Christmas lunch with my mom.
Dinners
Monday – Bacon Cheeseburger Skillet (something new I’m throwing together–I’ll let you know how it turns out)
Tuesday – Paprika Chicken w/ Sour Cream Gravy (new recipe)
Wednesday – Christmas dinner at my aunt’s
Thursday – Christmas dinner at my dad’s
Friday – Beef Stew (from the freezer)
Saturday – Chicken Tetrazzini
Sunday – not sure what we’re having yet, possibly left overs
I’m also making some candy/cookies for Christmas gifts this week. I’ll be making Rice Krispies Treats, Rocky Road Candy, Cake Mix Cookies, and Chess Cake Bars (recipe to be posted in the future). And I’ll be making Dream Pies, which will also be posted later on.
Go check out other great menus & ideas at I’m An Organizing Junkie.

The great thing about it being just the two of us, is that I can cook soups & certain casseroles, and they’ll be enough for 2 or 3 meals–sometimes 4. This week I’m doing 2 big things, and one night we’re going out to eat too, so that means I really only have to cook 3 nights (other than reheating). Yay!
Breakfasts: Bacon & egg sandwiches, pancakes, cereal, Carnation Instant Breakfast
Lunches: leftovers from dinner, canned soups, hot ham & cheese sandwiches
Dinners:
Monday – Going out for our Wedding Anniversary
Tuesday – Sloppy Joes & french fries
Wednesday – Chicken Poulet w/ green beans & cream corn
Thursday – Leftover poulet
Friday – Potato Soup
Saturday – Leftover Poulet w/ black beans & another vegetable or rice
Sunday – leftover soup

Hello bloggers! Unfortunately I’ve been in the middle of moving in to my house and hunting a job at the same, which has kept me from doing any posting. But hopefully I’ll get back into it soon.
Now, I have a request for all you bloggers out there. A couple of days ago my computer crashed, and we had to totally reload Windows. Unfortunately when we reloaded the operating system, I lost all of my blog feeds. So I would like to ask for everyone to send me the URL to their blog so that I can get some of the feeds back.
Several of you who visit my blog, know that I also visit yours (as I leave comments with you often)….if you know that I’ve visited your blog before, please leave a comment on this post so that I can subscribe to your blog again.
Also, as I don’t remember all the blogs I had subscribed to, I’m open to finding new blogs to read as well. If you have a blog or would like to recommend someone else’s blog to me, that would be great. I mostly subscribe to blogs about Organizing, Food/Recipes, Homemaking, and Thrifty/Money Saving. So if you’d like to help me out, please leave a comment on this post, or send an email jhrivers@gmail.com
Thanks,
Jerri
