What we've been doing.

So I had two free days this week and planned to do something with all the vegetables left in the gardens. Dan has been trying catch up with the yard but keeps getting sidetracked. Since it rained all day yesterday we couldn't get outside anyway. I used the day inside to make our meals for the month. I used to do that when the kids were small and it worked out very well. The idea is to prepare all the meals in one day and freeze them so that when it is time to eat all I have to do is cook. Simple, quick, and homemade meals. The idea is to make things simple. (The KISS method) I don't like fast foods but Dan loves them so I am trying to convince him that we can eat better and just as quickly as driving thru Long John Silvers. On the menu this month is lasagne, sweet and sour meatballs, italian casserole, strawberry dessert, tacos, and even homemade bread. All fresh from the garden and low in carbohydrates and sugar.

Been very busy lately. I am picking the last of my garden and prepping for next year. Tired of canning. Haven't done as much as last year but still canned plenty. Today I am canning sauerkraut. My first attempt at the old fashioned German Kraut. My Grandpa would be proud. I believe there are still about 5 heads of cabbage in Mom's garden. Tomorrow I will check and if so I will make more. Still working crazy hours. Having no kids home sure makes the housework easier. I was going to do some loads of laundry today and realized there wasn't much to do. Only TWO loads!!!! Now if DW and I quit wearing clothes I would have it made!! LOL

We took Landon to the Big Truck Night at the grade school.
