Tidy Up Tuesday

Tuesday seems as good a day as any to tidy up the house and get laundry done. Now that the little ones ( or not so little anymore in my case) are back in school, I can do cleaning most days of the week. On the list today just happens to be laundry.

I have come a long way with keeping up with the laundry. I no longer have a Mt. Washmore in my laundry room. Though I still have plenty to keep me quite busy.

Just a tip, if you do a load of laundry a day from start to finish it will help you keep up. When you get up start a load of laundry and by lunch time you should have it dried and put away.

Now I know some of you are saying "but I have other things to do during the day, appointments etc.". I understand that, and that's OK. This post is mostly for the work at home mom such as myself or stay at home moms.

I have worked outside the home and I know its hard to do a load of laundry a day. One step at a time, that's what it will take. Find what works best for you.

Have you started your load of laundry today? : )

Menu Plan Monday

Monday: Attending Atlanta Braves game tonight, no cooking for me : )


Tuesday: Creamy Herbed Pork Chops - I came across this while planning, it sounds great and I have never tried it before. : )


Wednesday: Hawaiian Haystacks It also sounds great. I am having a creative week.


Thursday: Stouffers Lasagna - Always a favorite!!


Friday: Vegetable Soup - I need a little taste of Fall with all of this wonderful weather we have had.

What's on your menu for the week? Post a link in the comments. I would love to meet new people and find new menu's and recipes. : )

Hawaiian Haystacks

Something new I found and I just have to give it a try.



4 cups rice, cooked

1 cup skim milk

3 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded (I prefer to boil it in water with complimentary seasonings until tender)

2 cans cream of chicken soup, lowfat

1 green pepper, diced

1 bunch of green onions, diced

2 cups green peas, cooked

1 can crushed pineapple

Lemon Pepper

French’s Fried Onion Toppings

Other topping ideas: diced tomatoes, sliced mushrooms, raisins and chow mein noodles.

Boil and shred chicken. Cook rice. In a small saucepan, heat milk and soup. Once it has thickened, add the shredded chicken. Add lemon pepper to taste. Let each person create his or her own haystack. Layer rice, chicken sauce and a variety of vegetables and fruit. Sprinkle with French’s Fried Onion Toppings or with chow mein noodles.

"Out Of The Rain" by Debbie Macomber

I have recently been reading "Out of The Rain" and absolutely love Debbie Macomber's style of writing. This book gives two completely different takes on marriages and I have found it very interesting to read. It has definitely kept my attention so much so I recommend anyone who is romantic at heart, loves to read, and especially loves to 'escape' in a book to pick this one up.

The pic above takes you to Amazon (no I am not an affiliate, just a book lover) where you can purchase it or you may even find it at Wal-Mart like I did. Either way, if you decide to pick it up and read it or if you already have read it, leave me a comment and tell me YOUR opinion on it.

Happy Reading!!
