<span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">
</span><br />
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I have also used a buffalo sauce instead of spaghetti sauce & topped
with cooked chopped chicken breast. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">
</span><br />
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Another great idea is to use barbeque sauce and top with chicken and sliced
onions. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

<span style="color: red; font-family: Courier;">Welcome back to day 9! Today, I wanted to talk about taking care of others through prayer.</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Proverbs 31:20 </span></b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy</span></b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><span style="color: red; font-family: Courier;">Have you ever been faced with a difficult situation that seems impossible to get through on your own? Or maybe, you know someone who is hurting and you have nothing to fix it. You are out of ideas; their pain has now become your pain? You want so badly to lift their burden. What can you do? The answer is not doing anything. The answer is prayer. <strong><span style="font-family: Courier;">God wants a relationship with us.</span></strong> He wants us to come to <strong><span style="font-family: Courier;">Him for everything</span></strong>. God does not want us to be anxious or to worry. </span><strong><span style="color: red; font-family: Courier; font-size: 18pt;">He is the one in control.</span></strong><span style="color: red; font-family: Courier;"> We are not.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Courier; font-size: 18pt;">Philippians 4:6-7 tells us, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.</span></strong><o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: Courier;">Maybe your problem or someone else's problem may seem impossible, but not to God. If you are dealing with hard times, a broken marriage, a death, an illness, or anything that seems impossible, I <strong>encourage you to pray to God</strong> for his guidance. Have <strong>faith that He will comfort you and give you answers.</strong></span><o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Courier; font-size: 18pt;">James 5:14-16 Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another,that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.</span></strong><o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: Courier;">The power of prayer is amazing. Having someone just say to you that they are praying for you is comforting. I encourage you to pray for others. By faithfully praying for others, you are helping them. God hears our prayers. Let God take care of you and your problems.</span> <br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><span style="color: red;">Today is Day 8 and obviously by now you know my theme is taking care of others, I am reposting a blog that I once wrote a while ago, about using your gifts and talents that the Lord gave you to serve others and to serve God. I encourage you to use your God-given talents and gifts to serve others. I believe it truly pleases God.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><strong>We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man's gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith. If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach; if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully.</strong></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> (NIV, Romans 12:5-8)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">How do you serve the Lord? Do you serve <strong>gladly?</strong> Do you serve the Lord with a <strong><span style="font-size: medium;">cheerful heart</span></strong>? I know that <strong>I am guilty</strong> of sometimes doing more complaining and not having <strong><span style="font-size: medium;">joy in my heart</span></strong>. I came across a devotion about this a few months of go. Needless to say it was very convicting to <strong>me</strong>. I prayed about this, and I know the <span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Lord gave me my talents</strong></span>. I know now that I need to <strong>use my talents to serve the Lord</strong>. And serve with <strong><span style="font-size: medium;">honest Joy</span></strong>.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I love to organize and "take charge" of things. So I take my "bossiness", as my family would call it, and use it in a way the Lord would want me to. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">After I had my 4th baby, ladies from our church brought us meals and it was a huge blessing to our family. I noticed everyone that brought us a meal, had true joy in their heart. I was so thankful for that.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">It later became something, I would do for others once and a while. Now, I can honestly say I am <strong>"joyfully"</strong> in charge of organizing meals for moms, who are welcoming home a new baby, & for people who are released from a hospital stay. It is great to see God work through others and myself to bring a small blessing. We are God's hands. </span><br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">It is Day Seven of Ten days of Proverbs 31. Thank you for coming back. By now, you already know that I am speaking about <b>taking care of others</b>. </span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Today, I would like to talk a bit about enabling. </span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">It is my nature to try and help someone who is down on their luck, or who might be enduring a tough situation. After all, I feel everyone needs to be taken care of at some point in their life. But are we really taking care of someone or are we helping them to make the same mistakes over and over?</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">What exactly does this mean? Are we really hurting someone if we are just trying to help them? Possibly.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: red;">Here is a good example to help you understand what I am getting at.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><span style="color: red;"> <i>Lets say you have this friend who has a difficult time holding a job, and he comes to you for financial help each time he loses a job or even quits a job. <b>You keep giving him money</b> to help him. This problem is not new to your friend, it has been going on for years. He has never been committed to keeping a job and always has an excuse as to why, such as, the boss was mean, or his hours were too hard to follow. </i></span></span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><i><b>You sometimes join him in blaming others to make him feel better</b>. You continuing to help him and joining him in blaming others is enabling and clearly not helping him.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><i>How could you help him and not enable your friend? This is a difficult situation because you do not want him to suffer financially but you also want him to learn from his mistakes. </i></span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><i>Perhaps this person is not your friend, but even your own son? That would even make it more difficult. I sure would want to rescue my son and help him each time. </i></span><br />
<i><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">How could you help and not enable this person? I do not have the answers. I can only say what I think I would do if faced this situation. Maybe by praying with and for this person. Instead of helping financially, maybe helping with job resumes or college applications. Or, maybe its time for some <b><span style="font-size: large;">tough love</span></b> and no more!</span> </span></i><br />

<div class="heading passage-class-0"><h3><span style="color: #45818e;">2 Thessalonians 3:10 For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: “The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat.”</span> </h3><span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">(That seems pretty harsh, but God gives us rules for a reason). </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I encourage you, that if you are in a similar situation, to really analyze it and <span style="font-size: large;"><b>pray</b></span> about your situation. Ask <b><span style="font-size: large;">God</span></b> to show you how to <b>help</b> and not enable wrongful behavior.</span> <br />

<span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><span style="color: red; font-family: Courier;">Welcome back for day six. As my topic is taking care of others, I wanted to talk about a somewhat sensitive subject. How do we take care of the poor? The poor, who may even not even have a home? Do you give them money? Perhaps, a meal? How would God want you to take care of the poor? Perhaps you do not have a lot to give. Perhaps, it is easier to turn your head rather than to help. It breaks my heart to see anyone homeless. I could not imagine. The truth is - most of the time - we do not know their story. We do not know how it happened, but God does. </span><o:p></o:p><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Times New Roman;"> </span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: Courier;">I would like to share a few of my own ideas to help others in extreme situations. You can donate to a Christian charity of your choice, or maybe your church has a special offering for those in need, or maybe even leading a fundraiser in your local community. I recently ran across this idea on Pinterest and it’s so simple, but yet so amazing! I obviously cannot take credit for the wonderful idea, so I am putting her link on here. When you go to this blog by clicking on the link, you will be lead to instructions on how to put a Blessing bag together.</span><o:p></o:p><br />

</div><span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">These are called "Blessing Bags". The idea is to keep them in your car, and next time you see a homeless person, or a homeless family, please give this to them.</span> <br />

<em><strong><span style="color: #45818e; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Proverbs 31: 17 “She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks.”</span></strong></em><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">It is day 5 and thanks so much for reading my blog. Yesterday I talked about helping single moms. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Do you have a sad story that has happened in your life? Perhaps, you have been through a tough divorce or have overcame an illness. Maybe you lost someone close to you. Do you find yourself asking God, why me? What is the purpose of this pain?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Maybe you are to the point in your life that the pain is now somewhat gone, but you are still questioning God.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I once saw this quote in a Joyce Meyer devotion, "I remember God speaking to my heart not to get caught up in the 'why' questions. Instead, he very clearly showed me what to say: God, I trust you. You’re good. You love me. And all things work together for good for those who love you and are called according to your purpose.”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I wish I had the perfect answer to why bad things happen to us. </span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I haven't always had the best life, and yes bad things have happened to me. Looking back, I am so thankful for those bad things. I know that sounds strange to some, but I am where I am today because of the events that have happened. I am also able to help others that might be going through similiar situations that I once have gone through. I believe strongly that the Lord wants you to lean on him during difficult times. I believe the Lord wants you to trust him through difficult times.</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<strong><span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">God wants us to trust in Him. Psalms 147:11 tells us that He is delighted when we put our trust in Him, and in Hebrews 10:23 we are told to rely on Him for He who promised it is faithful.</span></strong> <br />
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">If life has given you tough and difficult times, I encourage you to please lean on God and trust in Him. He has a purpose for you. You may be able to help others get through the same difficult situation later. <strong>That could be your purpose</strong>. Maybe your arms are strong for your tasks. Even if it is difficult, or once was.</span><br />

<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><b>Proverbs 31:20 She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br />
<span style="color: red;"></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Thank you for coming back for day four. Recently I have been talking about taking care of ourselves, our children, our households. </span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I really want to talk about taking care of others...outside of our home. I actually wanted to talk about something I hold very dear to my heart. Single moms. Yep, that's right, single moms.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I know personally how hard it is to be a single mom. I also have very close friends who are single moms. I have two close friends who are single mothers. They both love the Lord, they both love their children, and they both did not plan on ever in their wildest dreams of becoming single mothers. In other words, they didn't ask for their husbands to leave them. </span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">My two close friends have full plates: full time jobs, and one goes to college full time as well. Neither have family near by. </span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">As busy as I am, I cannot help but to be thankful for a husband who also loves the Lord and who genuinely helps me and works with me as a team with parenting and running our household.</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I do not feel sorry for my friends. They would not want me to. They rarely ask for help from others.</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Helping them is a constant pull on my heart. I feel the Lord puts everyone in your life for a reason. I love my friends. I cannot imagine doing everything on my own and I do not want them to do everything on their own either. </span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Do you have a close friend who is a single parent? Maybe you know someone who is a single parent. Sometimes a small act of kindness can go a long ways.</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I encourage you to help a single parent. Something small, perhaps make a meal for her. That could free up some of her time to spend with her kids. Or, offer to watch her children for her for an hour. Or, just pray for her. Pray that the Lord will watch over her and her children and give her strength and courage to raise her children.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br />
<span style="color: red;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br />

<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><b>Galatians 6:9-10 And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. 10 So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.</b></span><br />

I really enjoy it and love to be a help to others. </h3>As a busy mom, I tend to prefer to do things myself, just to get it done as quickly as I possibly can. And not to mention to have it done "right". <br />
<br />
Yesterday I talked about letting your children help out with household tasks. I must admit this is a challenge for me. Do not get me wrong, I have no problem with giving my children chores that I know they can do and not make a mess at.<br />
But, when it comes to them asking to help with something that may be a bit more challenging for them, such as washing dishes or helping prepare dinner...I tend to say no, we are in a hurry and I just need to get it done as quickly as possible.<br />
I want my children to grow up wanting to help others. This is a personal struggle that I am slowly getting better at. <br />
When life is quiet for a few seconds the thoughts of guilt come to mind. I should have just said <em>yes, you can help me fold laundry</em>. Who cares if I have to redo it. Time goes fast and my kids are growing up even faster. I need to learn to cherish those moments and slow down.<br />
<br />
Most of all I want my children to love to help others, not to be turned away.<br />
<br />
I encourage any of you who may be experiencing the same challenges that I do to ask God for patience and ask him to help you to slow down with life's business and cherish the blessings that are right in front of you...your kiddos.<br />
It's a prayer I say daily:)<br />

<span style="font-family: BookAntiqua-BoldItalic;">My husband & I have four children. The first two kids, I worked full time and they were both in daycare. My second two kids, I am able to be a stay at home mom. I believe all four of my children are healthy and amazing kids. In other words I am in no way passing judgment on either choice.<br />
I do feel that if you are able to be a stay at home mom, that you have a ton of responsibilities as does a full time working mother. Regardless, being a mom, you always have housework, laundry, cooking meals, cleaning, and the list goes on and on.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: BookAntiqua-BoldItalic;"><span style="font-size: large;">I believe the Proverbs 31 woman was not lazy. I believe she took care of her household and her children. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: BookAntiqua-BoldItalic;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span> As a stay at home mom, I feel it is my responsibility to keep a tidy home and provide healthy cooked meals for my family. I also feel it is just as important to spend time with your children. Balance is important. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: BookAntiqua-BoldItalic;"><br />
I strongly feel it is important to teach your children to help out with the daily tasks. Yes life is busy. But my children are part of my family and it is so important they learn to do household chores, because we are raising them to be adults and someday they will have homes of their own.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: BookAntiqua-BoldItalic;">A cleaning method that I think works well for busy families is to clean one room a day. Deep clean one or two rooms a day, and then Sunday, spend it with your family, not CLEANING!<br />
I would also like to mention, that my husband is wonderful at helping me with the household chores! We have a really nice system, I cook and get supper on the table and he cleans up the kitchen while I am helping our younger kids with baths. <br />
I encourage all moms working and non-working moms to make it a family affair and get your children involved. You will be taking care of them by teaching them these values!<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Today begins a 10 day series. I am writing through topics found in Proverbs 31 along with 13 other bloggers. The topic you'll find here over the next 10 days is "taking care of others" (head to the bottom of this post to see what other bloggers are writing about!). </span></span></div><span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">The Proverbs 31 woman was energetic and hard working for the tasks she was gifted and called to do. I can not possibly measure up to this Godly woman, but I can certainly try. </span></div><span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I am so excited that the topic that was chosen for me to write about for the next 10 days is "taking care of others". It is definitely fitting for me. I think it might be fitting for any woman with four kids, or any amount of kids for that matter.</span><br />
</div><span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><strong>A Virtuous Woman cares for her body. She prepares healthy food for her family. (Proverbs 31: 14 – 15, Proverbs 31: 17, 1 Corinthians 6: 19, Genesis 1: 29, Daniel 1, Leviticus 11)</strong></span><br />
</div><span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Taking care of your household is a lot of work and definitely requires a lot of energy!</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">In order to be all that we can be to our husbands and children, we must be all that we can be mentally, physically, spiritually and emotionally. We must be balanced.</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span><span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">My point that I want to share with you today is that we need to take care of ourselves in order to take care of our families and others.</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">When you take care of yourself, you are honoring God and loving your family.</span><br />
</div><span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I am not saying abandon all your responsibilities and go have a "me" day whenever you like. I am saying I feel it is vital for us as wives and mothers to take care of ourselves. Taking care of you such as eating right, exercising, and, my favorite, laughing!</span><br />
</div><span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">In my own personal life this has been a struggle for me. I have had to make some major changes that have helped me become a better and happier wife and mom. I make myself exercise and decided to change my unhealthy eating choices to healthier choices (most of the time). </span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">God only gave us one body and it is up to us to take care of it. But not just physically, emotionally too. Laughter is the best medicine. </span><br />
</div><span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><strong>1 Corinthians 6:19-20 “You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore, honor God with your body.”</strong></span><br />
</div><span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">When you take care of yourself, you start to feel better about yourself and its a lot easier to take care of others when you are able to work hard and have energy! Believe me, I know! </span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Yes I have to carve out time in my day to go to the gym and yes it would be easier just to eat food that is fast and unhealthy. But, I feel my children also benefit from seeing their mom live a healthier lifestyle. Kids are smart and often repeat what they see.</span></div><br />

<span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Let's Talk about a <strong>SAVVY Snack</strong>! <strong>Kettle Corn!</strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I was so excited to get a Whirley Pop for Christmas! I was even more excited to learn that you can make Kettle Corn with it too!</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I spent lots of time looking through different recipes & decided to try & healthy them up a bit.</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Here is what I came up with, & I hope you <strong>LOVE this recipe</strong> as much as my family does!</span><br />

<span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><strong>What you will NEED:</strong> Whirley popcorn pan (or a similar one), 1/3 cup popcorn, 1/4 cup oil (I use olive oil), 1/4 cup white sugar, 1 drop of vanilla or caramel extract, sea salt to taste.</span><br />

<a href="http://2savvygals.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj142/slmdhmac/savvysignature.jpg" /></a>2 Savvy Galshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13432063239724092436noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3918371243418671906.post-20662357665621187362011-12-26T21:51:00.000-08:002011-12-26T21:51:49.178-08:00Savvy Trash Talk<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">When I moved to my new community and started pricing out garbage collection, I had a little bit of sticker shock. In the small community I was leaving, the city contracted the garbage collection and it was a flat monthly fee of about $12. After some research, however, I discovered that my new community offered free recycling and what couldn't be recylcled I could take to the dump in a large (35 gallon) black garbage bag for $1 per bag. This was like the winning the lottery of waste managment!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I'm fortunate enough to have space in my kitchen to keep bins for recycling. On the inside of the closet door where I keep my bins, I hung a list of what can and cannot be recycled for quick and easy reference (<span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: x-small;">the list also has the address and hours of the landfill and the recycling center</span>). Once the bins are full I load them in my car and take them to the recycling center. It takes me about a half an hour total every other month to do this.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I'm also fortunate enough to have a garbage disposal in my kitchen. This is great because food is obviously not recycleable and it prevents me from having to throw food in my garbage. This means that the only things I'm actually throwing away are things that can't be recycled or put down my garbage disposal. Because of this, it takes me a long time to fill up one of those 35-gallon bags to take to the dump. Usually, I wait until I have about three bags ($3 worth) before I make a trip to the county landfill which is about 6 miles outside of town.</span><br />

<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Now, I might ruffle some feathers here, but if it were not for the cost savings I probably would not recycle. Not because I don't think its important but because doing this is a time committment and a lifestyle adjustment. Sure, it's great for the environment, but it's even better for my pocket book.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The garbage in our house has become a family affair. My kids have been quick learners about what is and isn't recyclable and if they're not sure they are pretty good about asking me before they just throw it in the trash can. They know that uneaten food, or things like orange peels, goes in the sink for me to take care of with the disposal. They also help me haul the full bins to the recycling center and bags to the dump. Although, sometimes getting them to help is a chore... especially when I sing my silly 'dump song' - "to the dump, to the dump, to the dump, dump dump" to the tune of The William Tell Overature! :D</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I encourage anyone who is looking to trim some monthly expenses to check out waste disposal alternatives in your community. There may be great savings in it for you as well as pride in doing something good for the environment.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">How many of you are like me when you purchase a new comforter, sheet set or something that comes in those <strong>clear zippered garment bags</strong> and you <strong>hate to just throw the bags away</strong> because you know there <strong>must be a great use for them</strong>? I have become somewhat of a hoarder of these bags because they have<strong> too much useful potential</strong>. <strong>Keeping</strong> and <strong>using</strong> these bags is a <strong>great frugal alternative</strong> <strong>to purchasing</strong> bags or containers for the purposes I mention below.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I use<strong> large bags</strong> for the obvious like <strong>storing extra blankets, linens, and winter hats and mittens</strong>. This is great because it <strong>keeps my seldom used blankets, tablecloths, etc. dust free</strong> and<strong> neatly organized</strong>. It's so easy to just pull out a whole bag from the closet and not have to worry about knocking over stacks of folded items. I use the <strong>smaller bags</strong> for toys like <strong>Legos</strong>.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The <strong>uses are unlimited</strong>... craft supplies, school supplies, hair accessories, doll/barbie clothes, Christmas decorations, etc., etc., etc....</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">This recipe is one of those you can change it up and you will not mess it up. If you want to change the flavors of your cheeses, add a different kind. I often mix in Parmesan cheese. I often double this recipe & freeze the second pan. You can also add more sauce, more meat & more cheese. Just try it & make it your own! I hope you love it as much as we do.</span></div><br />

<span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Here is a <strong>yummy</strong>, <span style="color: #274e13;"><strong>veggie packed quiche</strong></span> that is great for the <strong>Christmas</strong> season. This recipe is fun because you can switch it up a bit to your own personal liking. You could change the meat, or flavor of cheeses & you can try different veggies too. My husband loves quiches & I love the Christmas season. So, I put our two loves together and created a beautiful & yummy quiche! <em>(Yes, that sounds a little cheesy).</em></span> <br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><span style="color: red;">My teenage son <strong><span style="color: cyan; font-size: large;">absolutely loves</span></strong> hot wings. But, wings have hardly any meat on them. So, to feed my family of 6, it would get pretty pricy to make just "wings". Anyway, as I was browsing our local grocery store one morning, I noticed they had chicken legs on sale...it all happened from there. <strong><span style="font-size: large;">Wallah...Buffalo Chicken Legs it is!<o:p></o:p></span></strong></span></span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><span style="color: red;">In my past experiences, with making hot wings, I experimented with a few sauce recipes and came up with one, that we all seem to love. So make tonight, a hot wings night...oops, I mean, a hot chicken legs night and enjoy!<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

But, this recipe is one of my hubby's favorite. I started making this when we were just dating, which is forever ago & he will still request it! It's a little on the spicy side, you can tame it down a bit by using a mild enchilada sauce & omitting the Rotel.</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"> </span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"> <strong><span style="font-size: large;">What you need:</span></strong> Cooked chicken breast or cooked ground beef, shredded cheese, 1 can of Rotel, 1 can of cream of mushroom soup, 1 can of your favorite enchilada sauce, one can of tomato sauce. (I used a large can, because I was serving a crowd), *flour or corn tortillas.<span style="color: black; font-family: Times New Roman;"> </span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">*I prefer corn tortillas, but they are a bit more labor intense. Up to you though!</span></div><br />

<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><u><strong>Directions:</strong></u></span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Place cheeses in medium bowl; let stand at room temperature about 30 minutes or until softened. Beat onion and Worcestershire sauce into cheeses with electric mixer on low speed until mixed. Beat on medium speed 1 to 2 minutes, scraping bowl frequently, until fluffy. <span style="color: #7f6000;">**</span>Cover and refrigerate at least 8 hours until firm enough to shape into a ball.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Shape cheese mixture into 1 large ball. Roll in parsley; place on serving plate. <span style="color: #7f6000;">**</span>Cover and refrigerate about 2 hours or until firm. Serve with crackers.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #7f6000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">**Iuse 1/3 less fat cream cheese. My package of blue cheese was 5 ounces and I used it all. After I mix all the ingredients together I line a bowl with plastic wrap and spoon the mixture into the bowl. I cover the mixture with the plastic wrap and then refrigerate it over night. When I'm ready to plate the cheeseball I remove the plastic-wrapped mixture from the bowl and I form it into a ball while it's still wrapped. This works so much better than doing it with your bare hands. I don't roll my finished cheeseball in parsley because my family would be less likely to eat it if it were green! If I were to serve it anywhere else I probably would roll it in the parsley or chopped pecans.</span><br />

<span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"> These cinnamon rolls are so <strong><span style="font-size: large;">delectable</span></strong> (fancy word for yummy) & <strong><span style="color: cyan; font-size: large;">simple</span></strong> to make! I love to make these for special occasions or a <strong>fun appetizer</strong> for big holiday gatherings. I must mention, they will <strong><span style="color: cyan; font-size: large;">disappear fast</span></strong>!</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"> </span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><strong>Here is what you need:</strong> Crescent Rolls (the seamless ones work best, but regular are just fine too), cinnamon & sugar, butter, dental floss (un-waxed).</span><br />

</div><span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">This recipe is <strong>simple</strong> and <strong>fun</strong> too! My hubby told me this is the <strong>best meatloaf</strong> he has ever had! Have I mentioned I <strong>love</strong> him? </span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I like this recipe because it takes <span style="color: cyan;"><strong>half the cooking time</strong></span> compared to your "normal" size meatloaf recipe would. If you want to healthy this up a bit, use lean ground turkey & reduced fat soup. </span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I must <strong>warn</strong> you: Your house will smell <strong>AMAZING</strong> while these are baking!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><strong>Here is what you need:</strong> Salt & pepper, 1 box of savory herbs stuffing mix (any brand), 1/2 cup Ketchup, 1/4 cup of brown sugar 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup chopped onion, 2 eggs, 1 1/2 lbs ground beef or ground turkey, <strong>1 can of tomato soup</strong> (not pictured) <em>oops forgot it in the pic!</em></span><br />

<span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><strong>First:</strong> Use a whisk or fork to stir your eggs.</span><br />
<br />

<span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><strong>Second:</strong> Add meat, stuffing mix, cheese, onion, tomato soup, dash of salt and pepper, & 1/4 cup of ketchup and stir together really well.

<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica;">We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man's gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith. If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach; if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully.</span></b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> (NIV, Romans 12:5-8)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">How do you serve the Lord? Do you serve <strong>gladly?</strong> Do you serve the Lord with a <strong><span style="font-size: large;">cheerful heart</span></strong>? I know that <strong>I am guilty</strong> of sometimes doing more complaining and not having <strong><span style="font-size: large;">joy in my heart</span></strong>. I came across a devotion about this a few months of go. Needless to say it was very convicting to <strong>me</strong>. I prayed about this, and I know the <span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Lord gave me my talents</strong></span>. I know now that I need to <strong>use my talents to serve the Lord</strong>. And serve with <strong><span style="font-size: large;">honest Joy</span></strong>.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I love to organize and "take charge" of things. So I take my "bossiness", as my family would call it, and use it in a way the Lord would want me to. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">After I had my 4th baby, ladies from our church brought us meals and it was a huge blessing to our family. I noticed everyone that brought us a meal, had true joy in their heart. I was so thankful for that.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">It later became something, I would do for others once and a while. Now, I can honestly say I am <strong>"joyfully"</strong> in charge of organizing meals for moms, who are welcoming home a new baby, & for people who are released from a hospital stay. It is great to see God work through others and myself to bring a small blessing. We are God's hands. </span><br />

With today's economy using coupons is something that is not an option for me. I have tried a few methods to organize my coupons, <strong><span style="color: cyan;">The first method was to clip the coupons and throw them in a file.</span></strong> That didn’t work for obvious reasons. Then I decided to use a binder. This works well for me and maybe it will work well for you too. </span><br />

<span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Decide how you want to organize your coupons – by type (dairy, toiletries, baking supplies), by aisle, by expiration, etc. Then, create a divider for each of your categories.</span><br />
<ol><li><span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Stick your dividers in the binder, and place several baseball card pages behind each one (these will corral all of your coupons).</span></li>
<li><span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Add a folder to hold all of the current weekly sales flyers (if your binder has pockets on the inside of the cover, you can use those instead).</span></li>
<li><span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">If you're a rebater, also add a folder to hold the rebates that you're working on.</span></li>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><span style="color: red;">Here is another yummy <span style="color: cyan; font-size: large;"><strong>"dump & forget recipe"</strong></span> for your Crockpot. I love these kinds of recipes. They are <strong>wonderful & SIMPLE for us busy people.</strong> <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><span style="color: red;">But I am going to <strong>warn</strong> you: If you are watching your waistline...<strong><span style="font-size: large;">log off now!</span></strong> This recipe is rich, and loaded with calories. If you want to healthy it up a bit, </span><span style="color: cyan;"><strong>you could use lower fat soup and cream cheese.<o:p></o:p></strong></span></span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><span style="color: red;">As with everything yummy...<span style="color: cyan;"><strong><span style="font-size: large;">moderation is the key</span>!</strong></span> So in other words, </span><span style="color: cyan;"><strong><span style="font-size: large;">do not indulge the whole thing!<o:p></o:p></span></strong></span></span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"> </span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>What you need:</strong></span> *4 pork chops, Hidden Valley Ranch packet, 1 can of cream of mushroom soup, 4 tbsp butter, 5 tbsp cream cheese, paprika for seasoning</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"> </span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">* You can use chicken breast in place of pork chops.</span><br />

<span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><strong><span style="font-size: large;">First:</span></strong> Season pork chops lightly with paprika.</span><br />

<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Second:</strong></span> Melt cream cheese & butter together, until softened for about 45 seconds in microwave and stir.</span><br />

<span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><strong><span style="font-size: large;">Third:</span></strong> Add soup & packet of ranch seasoning. Stir together & spoon on top of chicken.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC1lQddalesz8U-7hadpWKmQETilFsZTOVC6XWoIcyCwuyrOG0JYM3FYCVqPLIzRw3tIfBpZaZd9tsuXUe6x1MIAqX-K-Zm-0ur18OcvJH9FjokNefFhv8Y_Y0Bh24_AQPWpD0DAQ9UqJS/s1600/ranch+chicken.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC1lQddalesz8U-7hadpWKmQETilFsZTOVC6XWoIcyCwuyrOG0JYM3FYCVqPLIzRw3tIfBpZaZd9tsuXUe6x1MIAqX-K-Zm-0ur18OcvJH9FjokNefFhv8Y_Y0Bh24_AQPWpD0DAQ9UqJS/s320/ranch+chicken.JPG" width="239" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><span style="color: red;">This is yummy served with mashed potatoes, rice or pasta. The sauce can be used as gravy too. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"> </span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I have seen other recipes that call for a little bit more cream cheese and butter, and I have found it to be <span style="font-size: large;"><strong>just as good with less.</strong></span> If you would like to add more pork chops, just increase your soup to 2 cans. Trust me; the <strong><span style="font-size: large;">flavor is just as rich</span>.</strong></span><br />
