DailyWorth

So, in case you haven't heard, Christmas is coming. :) Well, I know (personally) that sometimes spending can get a little out of hand and then we are left with debt after Christmas is over. Thankfully, I have learned my lesson. I have learned the hard way, but I learned. Now, I still struggle with wants versus needs. Sometimes it is really really super duper hard to NOT be impulsive. Well, if you are like me, then sometimes we seriously need some help and I don't know about you, but for me ANY kind of help is appreciated. So, that is why I am recommending...

Some More Recipes

Check out these two recipes that I just came across at A Thrifty Mom. These are so very yummy looking. Now, her original recipes are a little too calorie friendly for me, so I will probably "adjust" some of the ingredients, but they look like my mouth would like them. :)

Okay, here is the first one.......

Sweet Potato Casserole

Sweet Potato Casserole (From Matts Mom)

6 cups sweet potatoes, cooked and mashed
1 /2 cup butter (I would use applesauce or FF Sour Cream)
2 eggs beaten  ( I would use 4 egg whites or Egg Beaters)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 can sweet condensed milk (I would use FF Sweet Condensed milk)
Mix together and put in a baking dish.

Topping
1 cup brown sugar  (I would use Splenda Brown Sugar)
1/2 cup flour (I would use oatmeal)
1/3 cup butter (I would use 1/4 cup healthy oil like canola)
1 cup nuts (no nuts for me)
Mix well, sprinkle on top of sweet potatoes, Bake 350 for 25-35 min.

To cook sweet potatoes, cover with water in a large pot. Bring to boil, cook till middles are soft and a fork will insert easily.
I drain the water and let them cool a little.
Once they are cool enough to handle, peel the skins off.
Mash with a fork or a mixer, mash them up.
Then mix in the butter, milk, eggs and vanilla. Pour into baking dish, add topping
Bake at 350 25-35 mins

Here is a link to the page of her recipe.

**The "I would use" portion on the recipe is how "I" would "skinny" is up. This is not part of her original recipe.

Here is another recipe for Veggie Penwheels...

You will need:
8-10 flour tortillas (I would use wheat carb balance or even La Tortilla Factory tortillas)
5 different veggies 2/3 cup each
8 oz cream cheese (I would use FF)
8oz sour cream (I would use FF)
1 ranch packet

Start out with 5 veggies…what ever your family likes. Cut up 2/3 cup of each into small bits. I used Green onions, broccoli, celery, carrots and tomatoes (seeded or they are too juicy).
In a mixing bowl add ranch packet, 8 oz soften cream cheese, 8 oz ( half big container)

Mix till well blended
Spread about 3 tablespoons on a flour tortilla…make sure you get it all the way to the edge.
Spread veggies on top of cream mixture. Make sure to leave about an inch on top with no veggies so it will stick closed.
Roll up
Place on a plate…cover with plastic wrap….and let chill for 2 hours till cream cheese is firm again
Cut….and enjoy. These are great made the day before.

Here is the link to the recipe on her site.

Again, the "I would" part listed next to her original recipe is just how I would modify it to make it more WW-friendly for "me." This was not part of her original recipe.

Thanks for sharing A Thrifty Mom!

Are You On A Calorie Budget Too?

Are you on a calorie budget too and wonderin' how you are going to handle yourself on Thanksgiving? Are you a pie eater? If you are, I have an awesome recipe that I try to make on different occasions. It is really really good and you can eat it just chilled in the fridge OR you can freeze it and eat it that way too (if you freeze it it makes you have to take your time). :) AND IT IS EASY PEASY TOO!

This makes 8 servings and it is only 3 points per serving

1-Reduced Fat Graham Cracker Crust
1-Tub of Fat-Free Cool Whip
1-Small packet of DRY lime Jello (Sugar-Free)
1-Key Lime Yogurt (I use WW yogurt), makes for cheaper calories and points

Directions:
Mix your dry Jello, FF Cool Whip, and your WW yogurt all together in a bowl. Then, you put in your crust. Chill for an hour or so OR freeze for a while. There you have it. It is all done now!

You can use different variations of this with the different Jellos and yogurts. It is fun and yummy. You could even make it into just 7 servings and it would be 4 points.

The kids could even make this one and this is great for the diabetic in your family too.

Okay, I hope you like it.

Thanks!

Did you know?

That you can use competitor coupons at Home Depot, like "the" Habor Freight coupon? You know usually in the weekend ads Harbor Freight has a coupon for 20% off of one item? Well, you CAN use those at Home Depot! I (my husband) tried this weekend and it worked! Now, the coupon says one coupon per person.

So, I had to send him to get the rest of the paint so I could finish up the front room. I sent him to get the "other" color I was going to use and then just a quart of white paint to finish up the floor boards. Well, instead of only coming off of one item IT CAME OFF OF BOTH! Yay! I don't know if that was a fluke or what, but we'll take it.

Anyway, I just wanted to share just in case you were not aware. This is another good way to save some money.

Thanks!

Rite Aid Shopping Trip

I went out yesterday and did some shopping. Here is my trip to Rite Aid....

Before coupons and savings, this would have cost me.....$47.09! After coupons and savings this only cost.....$1.10, plus I made money on this shop. Let me tell you how I did that and what I did.....

Zone Perfect Bar $1.34 (was supposed to be $0.75 as it was on clearance for 50% off)
-Free Zone Perfect Bar coupon from Facebook a while back
=FREE

Paintbrush $2.87
no coupon

ThermaCare on clearance for $4.49 (There is a deal on ThermaCare. If you buy five, you get a $10 +UP reward back. You can only print one $3/1 from each computer, so I didn't have enough. My Riteaid was running low on these anyway)
-$3/1 printable from here
-$1/1 VV
=$0.49

Right Guard $4.49 X2 (BOGO)
-B1G1 free from recent insert
=TWO FREE!!

Herbal Essence $2.99 X5
-$2/1 Clairol Family (Herbal Essence is part of the Clairol family) from 10/31 P&G X5
= $4.59, making these $0.99 each! (Thanks to my cousin, Carmen, for sharing this with me!)

Alpo dog food $1.79
Again, no coupon :)

-$1/1 Wellness coupon X2
-(2) $1 UP Rewards
-$5/25

=$1.10!!! PLUS, I GOT BACK (5) $2 +UP Rewards for the Herbal Essence. So, if you look at it this way....I MADE MONEY!!! I made $8.90!

My stockpile of $5/25 is running low. I am sooooo sad. I LOVE those coupons! How are you all doing?

Seriously?

Who gave these two paint rollers?

and......

So, I spent all day Saturday finishing up the painting job in my front room and thought that I would allow for some help from these two. All I have to say is NEVER AGAIN!:) As you can probably tell by the picture, they had WAY MORE FUN than I did. Trying to keep them from spilling paint on the floor, trying to keep them from getting paint on unintended surfaces. Yep, that lightswitch in Blakey's picture got a coat of paint. :) The door in Faithy's picture got a little coat of paint. I guess the object, when you are that little, is to try and see how far you can get the roller to go up on the wall while jumping is of GREAT fun! Nevermind the messes you make when you come (fall) back down.

Anyway, I just thought these pictures were soooo very cute. The kiddos did have fun, until I had to say no more. They really do just crack me up.

Thanks!
