Like catching rain in a barrel

 

It feels a little ironic to write about a rain barrel after out area had record rain over the past week.

But, I wanted to talk about it for Take it on Tuesday

I've always wanted to use a rain barrel. It's free water. And let's face it, free things are few and far between these days. Click here for the steps.

Meal Plan Monday

It's Meal Plan Monday! Really. I don't get that excited about this. But it has made life a little easier so I guess I should quit complaining. Right?

This is going to be a busy week. My sister and her babies will be in town (yay!) it's my mother's birthday, father's day weekend and a visit from my mother-in-law. And a date. Yes, we are going on our third outing since the baby was born. (Seven months ago today.)

So let's get started:

Monday: Easy chicken stir fry - will post recipe later, maybe. We'll see.

Tuesday: Red Beans and Rice (will post recipe on Wednesday)

Wednesday: Cheesy cornbread

Thursday: Chicken, brocoli rice casserole (I know, how exciting!)

Friday: Dinner with my parents for the Mama's birthday

There are more great menus at Orgjunkie's  Meal Plan Monday.

Fudgy, pecan pie bars

I did something terrible. I did something I shouldn't and now there is no going back. My life will never be the same.

Wait for it. I am not sure I should share because if you do what I did then your life will also never be the same.

I made fudgy, pecan pie bars. Gasp! I know. I know. What's more I made them with bourbon! I know. So. Much. Shame. Delicious, delicious shame. Click here for more.
