Inaugural Blog Post

Sizzler Living - Tips on everyday life and other stuff...

Why keep all the best tips to yourself?  I love getting meal ideas, budgeting, or planning ideas from friends and family.  I also have some go-to methods myself so here I am with a blog.  We'll see how it goes.  Because it is late I am going to start this off with just a menu for the week.  My husband and I make a menu every week and shop together.  We check out the ads and trying to stockpile where we can.  Here is what is on the menu this week:

  • Tacos
  • Turkey Chili (Crockpot)
  • Baked Chicken
  • Chili Dogs (leftover chili)
  • Loaded Baked Potatoes
We generally have enough for a meal one night and lunch the next day at work.  I have a decent stockpile of frozen veggies, potatoes/fries, and some rice sides, etc., to round out the meals.  We like cooking and we try to keep it simple.  Anything very complicated is made on the weekend as I really don't like to spend more than an hour on a meal (half hour is preferable).

So there ya go - my inaugural blog.  I'll work on maybe posting some recipes as well....next time!
