George & Leonard - ornaments for our tree.
The
Sunday paper didn’t yield any Albertson’s coupon doublers or any great sales
either, but to be honest I was pretty okay with that. I’m a little tired of shopping.
Sunday
I made a big pot of split pea soup in my largest slow cooker using 6 cups of my
homemade turkey stock and leftover ham, onion and carrots. I also made homemade gingersnaps, whole wheat
bread and a pan of whole wheat dinner rolls.
I was able to put a 4 cup container of the soup in the freezer for a
future meal.
I
thought I was pretty clever. After
making the gingersnaps, I poured a cup of hot water into the empty molasses jar
to rinse the remaining thick residue from the jar and used that as the liquid
component to my pancake syrup recipe. It
should be super yummy with that extra bit of added molasses. I also plan to reuse or recycle the jar.
Monday
we made omelets for supper with our “farm fresh” eggs and using leftover meat
and cheese from Horse Doover night.
I
trimmed my bangs.
I
used a 40% off coupon at JoAnn’s Fabrics to purchase a bag of wiggly eyes for
89¢.
I
made a washable cover for our heating pad from a piece of leftover flannel.
I
made two dozen handsewn felt Christmas ornaments to give as gifts, using up a
ton of leftover felt and craft scraps.
Our
chickens blessed us with 7 eggs this week!
