A Collection Of Recipes I Mean ToTry One Of These Days :-)

I'm the type of person who collects recipes and sends them to myself on Facebook with the hope that I'll try them one day .The sad news is I never do ๐Ÿ˜ฌAnyway I thought I'd collect the best ones and put them on here .I love collecting recipes that look easy and don't have a lot of ingredients.So here's hoping you'll get an idea or two out of this list for supper tonight ๐Ÿ˜Š Look for my dessert version coming soon๐Ÿ˜‹

Spicy meatballs.These  look good to enjoy alone,on a sub,or in spaghetti.

Stuffed peppers.I love stuffed peppers and these are easy since you make them in the crockpot.

Twice cooked cabbage .Sometimes you have cabbage on hand but just want  something different then coleslaw.

A New Way To Color

Since I've been spending a lot of time at home I've been trying out  a lot of indoor activies in order  to keep from climbing the walls.๐Ÿ˜Anyway thought I'd share one of my new favorite things to do in case anyone happens to be in the mood for something new to try ๐Ÿ˜‡ It's called coloring with stickers.It may not be new to everyone else but it was something that looked interesting so  I decided to try it.You just place the stickers on the proper outline so it's easier then lets say painting but there is a bit of a challenge involved .Think it turned out pretty well though I was disappointed  to discover some stickers were missing ๐Ÿ˜’

Links To Some Of My Favorite Web Pages

Since all of us have been spending more time at home lately I figure we can all use something other then facebook to  help pass the time ๐Ÿ˜ŠThis list isn't very long but hopefully you'll find something of interest on here.


This site has a daily newsletter with all types of tips, easy recipes,nautral cleaning products,tricks of all kinds  to help you out around the house  etc.Been subscribing  for years and I absolutely  love it!

https://www.onegoodthingbyjillee.com/


This one I found on a facebook page.It's basically a map of where to find  every plane and helicopter   in the air all over the world.It's just plane fascinating ! ( oops did I just use a pun๐Ÿ˜‰)

 https://www.flightradar24.com/51.53,0/8


This  is a nature preserve with a live web cam which I love because even if you can't see anything you can hear things  and its so calming espicially at night  with all the crickets.

Tip for easier freezer storage

 Learned about this tip the other day from a blog called ," One Good Thing By Jillee " You know how bulky bags of frozen food can get and how hard it is to keep them shut ( twisty ties don't always work on the bigger bags) Anyway I made some fries the other night and wanted to close the bag shut so decided to give this tip a try and it worked perfectly What you do is cut off   a thin strip all along the entire top of the bag  and then use that to tie it shut when you're finished .Attaching some pictures so you can figure out what the heck I'm talking about ๐Ÿ˜€ Give it a try next time you need to seal something and I think you'll be as pleasantly surprized as I was!

My Favorite Apps

 Poked myself in the finger again the other day when I was fixing supper. Think I need to write a note to myself and hang it on the fridge door reminding me to stop trying to pry frozen meat patties apart with a knife cause this is  the second time I've done it  in the past year.๐Ÿ˜ณAlso for some reason  the slippers I wear work up an electric charge so every time I touch something metal I shock myself  which is a lot of fun ๐Ÿ˜.I even  find it happening if I touch   someone. Anyone care to shake hands with me ๐Ÿ˜œ? Used to have work shoes that did that to me but never slippers!

Anyway today I'll be talking about my favorite apps. I only have three of them, not much of an app person, but thought someone might find them useful. All  can be found on Google play store.Want to note I haven't had problems with any of them draining my battery .I've noticed some apps can do that unfortunately.

ColorNote

I like staying organized by keeping various notes on my phone so I always have a place to write down things when theres' no paper or  pen nearby. 'The best part is it's free and there's no ads. I also love the fact you can change the color of the background and put them in alphabetical order  

YoWindow

Don't actually use this one so much as just enjoy it .It's a weather app but has so many different backgrounds to pick from. My favorite are the live ones of which there's eight to pick from ( nine if you buy the paid version)I seriously just open it from time to time to watch the moving figures and admire the sunsets .Their graphics are so good! There are ads  if you chose the free version but they stay at the bottom  of the screen which is helpful ( I've tried apps where they stick full page ads in your face every time you open it and it's most annoying .)


Christmas  Gift List

Only used this once but if you're an organizer freak like I am you 'll love the ability to create lists for multiple people.You can even add links to things you've seen online and set a budget. It's free and the ads stay on the bottom of the page so they're  not  waving about in your face

Super easy baked chicken

 I don't think  I'm the only one who always has a hard time trying to figure  what to have for dinner every day๐Ÿ˜‰Not only something different but something quick as well.Tried this the other day and it turned out really well.


Bacon Baked Chicken 

All you need are chicken pieces( I used a package of thighs and drumsticks) and slices of bacon.Cover each piece of chicken with 1-2 slices of bacon and place on a baking sheet .I baked mine at 400 for 30 minutes but I think I overcooked them  a bit so you'll probably want to try checking them 8-10 minutes before that.

And that's it! Just add a salad and baked beans and you've got a complete meal๐Ÿ˜‹

Random Pictures

 I don't know about anyone else but I have a habit of taking pictures thinking to myself', "that'll make a great   facebook post !" and then  proceed to just let them  sit on my phone unused๐Ÿ˜ .So I've decided to go through and pull out a few just to get rid of them . ( you can tell I'm bored can't you? ๐Ÿ˜Œ)In order of appearance here's a set of mysterious circles I found on my sidewalk one morning while waiting for the taxi ( ok   ok I know it's not aliens ๐Ÿ˜‰but I'm highly amused by anything a little bit strange ๐Ÿ˜œ) ,a heart shaped  potato  I found last year the day before Valentines Day ,and then a note I found one day while cleaning rooms.The guy had accidentally broken the lever on the ironing board ( which is easy to do trust me )  and left a note to apologize. I  not only  appreciated the note I was  also amused at the drawing  he left with it.So thank you sir whoever you are because it made my day!๐Ÿ‘
