Blueberries and Bible School

Blueberries are a great price right now. You can usually find them for about $2.50. Here's my frugal mommy tip of the day. Rinse them and remove any stems. Let them air dry on paper towels and then pack them into snack size ziploc baggies and freeze. When you are ready to make blueberry muffins (we just use the cheap bag muffin mix) add in one of the frozen bags of blueberries and they are so yummy! Your family will beg you to make some more. You can also add them to pancakes or waffles.

The boys attended VBS at Galilee this week. We missed a few nights because Preston went to Six Flags and had a blast with Jeremiah. They rode the Log Flume three times in a row! When they got home around 10:30 PM they were still soaked! Parker Reese announced that he learned about Jesus. I asked him if he saw Jesus and he said, "Yep, he lives at church! Do you know, Jesus, mommy?" Yes, Parker Reese, I know Jesus. Sweet.

*I'm a frugal mommy and I love to cook home-made meals and bake things. So, I thought I'd share some of our recipes and easy meals that we have. Today we had Easy Pot Roast. We put it in the oven before church and it was ready when we got home. Yummy. You could do the roast in the crock pot. My friend's daughter informed that I shouldn't leave my oven on when I'm not home. I do know that, but my kids are very hungry after being at church all morning.
Easy Pot Roast
Brown Beef Roast in Olive Oil in Skillet
combine 1 can cream of mushroom soup, 1 envelope dry onion soup mix, and 1-2 cups water, pour over roast and cook 4 hours at 325.
** I buy meat when it is marked down and immediately freeze it. We save a lot of money by doing this and if you cook meats in the crock pot or for a long time in the oven at a lower temp. they become very tender.
