Good Morning Everyone,
Up earlish, just before 7 am, I prefer 5 or 6 am but since it Sunday it is what it is what it is.

I am already getting going on the to-do-list for today as it is a long one. Lots of time in the kitchen today but will be happy once it is done.

I also have to work today, working on another mass upload/download.

Taking a break and grabbing the nex recipe, my oven is going to be very busy today. One slow cooker is going, need to get the other one going and the Instant Pot and Bread machine. Busy Busy day.

Have a great Sunday everyone

[SassyAshley]

The baking portion of my morning is done.

Again I had some Bananas to use up, so a batch of Banana Muffins have been made.

Had some strawberries I needed to use up that where past their prime for eating so I made a Crustless Strawberry Pie.

Lastly a bath of cornbread is cooling as I am making a batch of Ground Chicken Sweet Potato Chili in the Slow Cooker.

Now it is time to move into the cooking/meal prep portion of my day. Good news is I have been cleaning as I have been going to the kitchen is clean with room to work.

Grrr so pissed when a person in a trading group(not in here of coarse) say no wishlist but she is super selective and dont want any of my beautiful coupons...........just said that you have a wishlist and that you are super selective please...You will not lost my precious time and I will not lost yours.........It was for Agropur 5$ x2 milk coupons and i needed those.......

On another more positive note I will probably redeem my first CH51 Cheque for 20$ and I had a beautifull afternoon that I will post later

[cath007]

Good earlier evening everyone!!! Wow it was a beautifull afternoon at the orchard and I purchases some homemade products too to bring home!!! After we went to my marraine and parrain( auntie and uncle) house to see her big garden,her new veranda and her rescued cat bella so tiny kitten and she gave up a big margarrita pizza she made on her wood stove!!! It was so delicious!!! Nothing compared to the stores one and noneless to said the frozen ones.She given me also some fresh peppers from her garden and more magazines to read so sweet of her!!! I did not saw my afternoon pass...After I put some pictures on facebook my other auntie said why you did not said to us you will go the orchards we wanted to go with you........and I just responded sorry next year sure..Honnestly terrible lack of comunication in my familly..not sure who is guilty their or us... but yeah fresh air does miracles!!!

I was still having a time today this morning and talked with my daughter -she said try to do things for yourself ,join something new .It is not that easy during covid i told her.Nice to chat with my daughtet thou.

My daughter-in-law asked if we could watch the girls this afternoon for a bit as she needed a break-my son works shifts now .I said sure as my granddaughters are so much joy to me ,we painted ,coloured,played playdoh just all around fun -it sure brought me out of a slump.

Drizzly and rainy all day, but surprisingly not cold. Did a return to the Bay. So thats 135.00 back. Costco was expensive but DH needed windshield wipers and car mats. Then I spent some time sorting my clothes. My garage sale jeans mean I am set for winter and I tossed out a pair that was at the end of its life. We also did the menu planning for the next two weeks and that always feels like an accomplishment. Today was roasted veg and a rotisserie chicken from Costco. I always buy one when I am there fall or winter as it just makes one meal easier.
I also had some good coupon finding success and would say I found most of what I wanted of the new coupon cycle. So that’s a win.

I am away in Nelson with a friend-went out for Indian food-then bear watching and actually spotted one and were able to watch from a distance for a few minutes-such fun.

Good Morning Everyone,
This morning was a struggle, I did not want to get up. I am not sure what is happening within my own body but I am sleeping but still struggling in the mornings to get up and get going. I got up later than I had wanted but it is all good.

I asked for this Friday off but it has not been approved. Nothing against Thanksgiving but I wish this was one of those Holidays where you are off but no family commitments. I really want/need a long week off as the last 3 I have had to work.

Got a lot done this weekend but did not get everything done. My weekend plan was a little over ambitious and I did not expect to get it all done but am happy with what I got done. Still have a few food things to get done and most of the cleaning still needs to be done.

Trying to figure out tonight's dinner, I thought today was supposed to be cooler so I was going to make a Slow Cooker Soup and some homemade buns. Will see how the morning goes and might still make it.

Time to get all of the things done.

Have a great Monday everyone

[cath007]

Just relaxing today before a busy week.
