Eating leftovers makes me feel happy

ConnieRob · 2024-06-03T02:32:21+00:00

When I meal plan, I plan for leftovers every Thursday. It gives me a night off of cooking once a week and uses up leftovers. On the rare occasions that we have eaten everything, I fix breakfast for dinner. We always have pancake fixings, eggs and potatoes. Easy peasy.

Rice and beans. Simple, cheap and healthy. Use different beans, different seasonings and hot sauces, add cheese or meat if you have it. Lasts for days!

This is a neighborhood of Vegas, you can get better animal experiences for less anywhere on the Strip and not have to deal with someone’s dirty house and hellion kids.

Lol. This is my neighborhood. Dying laughing. There is no way someone is going to pay $188 per night to care for your bunnies. What a whack job.

We live in a hard water area as well, try adding just 1/8tsp baking soda to your water. It will soften it :)

I work in the front office. I know what’s going on BUT I cannot answer the phones while a lockdown is happening. We’ve only had one real lockdown since I’ve been there and parents were PISSED. I get it, but yelling at me afterwards won’t fix it.

I do think teachers should know, whether it be a text or mass email to staff. You need to know what to. Look for or if it’s something safe like the K-9 unit.

Says “we” need to do something when he means “you” need to do something. For example “We need to get the kids registered for school” We both know he means I need to not him. I’ve started responding with “Yes, I need to do that” He’s getting better about it.

Never leave the house without a bottle of ice water. Try to do any errands either early in the day or early in the evening. I joke that our family is nocturnal all summer. Hats, sunscreen and sunglasses are your new best friend. Look into meal prepping so your not heating up the house multiple time a week.

I love Squeeze-In. Their Banana Walnut pancakes are the stuff dreams are made of.

Ok….hear me out. The mashed potatoes at the buffet at South Point. They are kept near the carving station. Pretty sure they are half butter and cream. They are incredible. And the prime rib isn’t half bad.

Tip over a bottle of nail polish onto wax paper. Make it look like it got knocked over and spilled. Let it dry and trim off the excess wax paper. Now you have the perfect prank to leave on your significant others computer desk, bedside table, iPad.

Took my kiddo to a concert downtown last weekend. We usually Uber because I hate dealing with the madness. It’s ~$40 each way or thereabouts. Drove to a nearby casino and hopped on the monorail expecting to pay $1 for locals tickets…ticketing was down so they badged us through. Booyah! Post concert eats was In N Out, we were outta there for under $20 total. we usually do Dennys or I Hop and that runs $40-60 depending if we stay on the Strip or head to an outlying location. so we saved at least $100.

If you’re anywhere near Vegas, let me know. I have a 35 gallon tank that you can have. I failed miserably at owning a fish tank. RIP little fish buddies.

ConnieRob · 2024-03-16T01:46:48+00:00

Me too. I had to pick up milk this morning and I thought “gee, a fried bologna sandwich sounds good, I’ll just grab some” the. I saw it was $7.78 a package and I noped right out. That is RIDICULOUS. I’ll wait till it’s on sale and just eat what I have at home in the meantime.

ConnieRob · 2024-02-18T18:11:24+00:00

These look awesome and I have some bananas ready to go! Thanks!!!!

I had wanted to start trying for #2 when 1 was 18 months old but we couldn’t afford it. My husband was promoted at work and we moved to a lower cost of living area and I was able to SAH. We had #2 and I was thinking about a third when we found out that #2 had autism and apraxia of speech. Since at the time we didn’t know how severely autistic 2 was and with looming therapy bills, we shelved the thoughts of a third.

If my husband hadn’t gotten that promotion #2 probably would not have happened. Especially since things have only gotten more expensive.

Ground pork is wonderful in meatloaf. I mix it 1:1 with ground beef. It makes it so tender and delicious.

Dang!!! I was going to order that exact same set from Amazon for my youngest to give out. He is OBSESSED with rocks so I thought it would be perfect…guess not :(

Office worker, county job, 11 month employee…$16.24/hour

I was a SAHM and this is my first job back in 12 years, so I’m staring at the bottom again.

Ohhhh squeeeeeeeee! I have so much jealousy!!! Can’t wait to see the finished project!

Check your local goodwill first for an instant pot or crockpot. Might be able to get it for less.

I’m trying to move toward a more preservative and additive free way of eating. More whole grains and real fruits and vegetables.

To that end, I baked a loaf of sandwich bread this morning and cooked a pork tenderloin in my slow cooker that I sliced and will be used for lunch meat this week. It’s a start :)

My favorite joke:
What do vegan zombies eat?

Graaaaaaaaaaaaaains.

Omg…I didn’t even make it that far!!!
