was the perfect meal for what turned into a rainy afternoon the temperatures dropped a little and our supper of baked beans and hot dogs seemed just right for a comforting sort of meal however there were leftovers of the baked beans since we like the vegetarian beans we find them only in the super tall calls too much for two this week it worked very much in our favor as you ll see continue at

kept up a rather hectic pace until we came home then the skies opened and rain poured football was on the tv dinner was an easy meal and we snugged into our chairs and whiled away the last of the afternoon the week ahead looks busy enough as well john will be going back to work and the grand babies are coming to visit this too will be a hectic week and likely will fly past before we re half aware it s gone a new season is upon us and didn t summer seem to just skid right away from us the golden rod is fully in bloom the lovely big orange harvest moon has shone all this past week lighting the night so brightly you could see from the kitchen window to the bottom drive as though it were noon we had a beautiful sukkot celebration last night under the night sky with a concert and dinner it

mind or struck my fancy i went to another source of inspiration my pinterest recipe board found a recipe that sounded easy enough and used mostly items i had on hand beefy ravioli bake my substitutions were the cost cutters i used 1 pound of ground beef instead of 1 3 4 pound as the recipe called for savings 2 99 i didn t have canned tomato soup i substituted 1 8 ounce can tomato sauce adding in 1 2 tsp sugar and 1 tbsp of flour consistency became same as canned soup as it cooked i paid 25 for the tomato sauce a can of tomato soup costs a good bit more savings 75 fresh ravioli costs 3 00 9 oz on sale i used a package of freeze dried shelf stable cheese ravioli that cost me 89 savings 2 11 yes the dish was economical my way even better i put half of the casserole in the freezer

growing up in the south i learned early on to not only like grits but to love them when they are made right it s really an economical hot grain to add to a breakfast menu or to let stand on it s own as a bowl of cereal you can eat it as you like it with cheese with scrambled eggs stirred in with butter or even with sugar and milk if you like though i confess we ve never gone that far in this household so yes grits truly are a standard in my home for breakfast i ve learned over the years to make just enough for breakfast and not have leftovers but the other morning i slipped up and put in too much salt so i made some more grits to mix with the two salty grits i didn t quite get the balance right but near enough that the grits were edible however i had an abundance of grits there were leftovers linking to continue at september 20 2013 4 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels recipes morning coffee chat good morning come on in and join me

on wednesday and worked all day long did i sleep wednesday night nooooo no i had committee meeting in my head when i lay down and though my body was weary and my eyes felt like sandpaper my thoughts went round and round and round and round i finally got up and wandered about the house i wrote in my journal and read through a magazine i took a melatonin in the hopes that would push me over the edge to dozy land and it did i crawled into the bed lay my head down and drifted right into sleep and that was the exact moment john got up for a few minutes which woke me and that was that no more
