Good Morning everyone.
I hope everyone had a GREAT Week !
Other than extreme fatigue and running on less than 20 hours of sleep, my week has been good.
The girls had a great week at school, and we’ve had NO upsetting phone calls, visits or broken promises
Zoe is still really happy to be in Kindergarten, and looks forward to going each morning ... as you know I was really concerned with that. Alexis and I are getting along better and better, and Christina has become BFF’s with a neighbor girl (Her FIRST friend). All three have worked so hard on their social skills…something they did not have before
AND
We got a LOT of freebies in the mail;
Wisk detergent
Oxy facial scrub
Coupon for free sugar
Free 2001 Calendar
Tonka block truck
Free non stick silicone muffin pan ($ paid 5.00 for shipping)
We also got freebies at the store using coupons, and I got 2 free 2ltr of coke at CVS. Use the scan machine... got $3.75 instant care bucks ... coke $3.00 for two.
Even saved 65% on our weekly groceries.
In the upcoming days/week I will be posting more often ... promise. I want to create a coupon exchange and also get more links to freebies in the blog.
Be sure to check your local sales and coupons this weekend. LOTS of GREAT Deals and Freebies.
Until Later ... A Fall recipe to share;
Chicken-Apple Stir Fry
Ingredients:
1 large boneless, skinless chicken breast (10+ oz), cut into 1” cubes
2 medium apples (tart apples are preferable), sliced ¼” thick
4 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons brown sugar (divided into two 1T portions)
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
½ teaspoon Nutmeg
½ teaspoon powdered Ginger
Melt butter in pan over medium heat. Place apples in pan, adding 1 tablespoon brown sugar and flipping occasionally until the apples start to brown.
Add chicken and cook until done (until chicken is firm and no pink remains; cut a piece in half to test). Sprinkle with nutmeg, cinnamon and remaining sugar, tossing a little more to dissolve. Serve over rice. Makes 2 servings.
Note from Becky: Winter squash might be a wonderful addition to this dish, though I have not tried it yet. A small sweet dumpling or half a small acorn or pie pumpkin should provide the correct amount. Simply saute the raw squash along with the apples.
