I have confidence in who holds my future. Why do I worry about what it holds?
I have been experimenting with some new ideas. A good twist to chicken, place chicken breasts in bottom of a cooking bag. Season to taste with choice of herbs. Pour 1 can chicken gravy over the top and bake for 45 min. or till done. I make my own gravy instead of buying it. It is also good to chunk a few potatoes and place in the bag with the chicken.

Hello Again to all my friends! It is another dreary day. I've been thinking about Thanksgiving and what it means to me personally. I have a loving family and church who care about me and how I am doing. Not everyone has great support like that. I have plenty to eat, not everyone does. I can worship God whenever I want and where I want and I don't get arrested. God truly is a great God. Take time to thank Him today and every day.

Good morning once again. It is cold and rainy here. Last night we had a mix of weather, rain ,sleet, lightning, thunder and lots of wind.
A few tips to pass along. If your dryer eats the socks like mine used to, put each persons socks in a ligerie bag.
Keep all the puzzle pieces in a zip bag then if the box gets dumped by little ones the pieces are still all there.
Good luck till next time.

Another busy day ahead with driving, cleaning and maybe even some scrapbooking. A lady in our church is having a contest to see who can fininsh the most pages in the month of Oct. She is a Creative Memories consultant and is giving a 12x12 album to the winner. So far I have finished 74 pages. I need to get stickers for our wedding album then I will have another 34. I would like to finish our honeymoon pictures but need paper and stickers for that yet. I have definitely lost a few hours of sleep. I usually go back to bed when LaVern goes to work and get another 2 hours of sleep. The great thing is I only need to finish our honeymoon and then I am totally caught up which has never happened yet in the 4 years I have been doing scrapping.
I tried a new twist to chicken and we loved it. I dunked t into butter then rolled into crushed Frosted Flakes and then fried on the stovetop until done. It is a bit of sweet with crunchy and ummmm.
We are having company on Thurs. evening so cleaning is on the list of must do.
Have a wonderful day in Jesus!

Good morning. Thought for the day: Be careful what words you speak, they last an eternity.
We have been very busy doing outside fall cleaning. I was also sick for a few days which means I did nothing for nearly a week.
This morning I made cinnamon rolls with a new recipie which I will add at the end. They are made the afternoon before then baked in the morning. The house smells so fresh and sweet!
I also have a recipie for a meat marinade. You can soak any meat and it is delicious. I have done turkey and roast and both were well liked by my family.
We have a dusting of snow on the ground and very cold. Winter seems to have come around early this year.
Here are the recipies:

Cinnamon rolls
Mix 1 T. yeast 1T. sugar 1 cup warm water and set aside
1 cup shortning 1T. salt 1 1/2cup sugar Beat together and add 4 eggs, beat again. Add 4 cupswar, water. Then add yeast mixture. Add enoughflour to make soft dough, let rise. Punch down every hour 3 to 4 times. Roll out,spread with butter, sugar and cinnamon. Roll up and cut, place in pans, let rise overnight. Bake next morning at 350 for 15 - 20 min.
I then made this frosting for the rolls.
1/2 cup butter 1 cup brown sugar Boil together for 2 min. stirring constantly. Then add 1/4 cup cream and bring to boil. Cool to lukewarm, then add 1 3/4 to 2 cups powdered sugar. If it gets to stiff add a little boiling water.

Marinade:
1 cup tenderquick
10 cups water
1 teas. salt peter
1 T liquid smoke
3 T brown sugar
Soak meat in refrigerator for 3 days then bake as usual.

Good luck to you who try these recipies. I like very simple and quick recipies as you might be able to see.

I've another new recipie to share. I revised it from the original and we gobbled it right up. Place large oven bag in 9x13 baking dish. Take 1 can chicken gravy (or make your own) and put in oven bag. Add 1-2 med potaotes, 1 small onion, 1/2# baby carrots, 2 stalks celery and arrange in bottom of bag. Place 4 chicken breasts on top (season to taste) and bake @ 350 for 40-45 min or till chicken is done. It is an easy one dish meal and yummy. Good luck.

Good afternoon. This has been a busy week. I have started planning our meals a week in advance. Last week I saved almost $20 on my grocery bill. This week I saved $35. It makes a big difference if you only buy what you need instead of getting things just in case I need it.
I made Ballard biscuits for supper one evening and the girls loved it.
Ballard Biscuits
Brown 1# hamburger and 1 small onion. Drain.
Mix in seperate bowl:
8 oz. cream cheese
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can cream of chicken soup
1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup milk
Pour over hamburger mixture and bake till bubbly.
Put 1 tube biscuits on top and bake till biscuits are brown.
I usually bake the biscuits separately then they don't get soggy if there are leftovers.
Enjoy

Good morning A busy day ahead with lots of errands to do. Plans for supper is leftover pizza casserole. I will add the recipe at the end.
