There are no coupons in this week’s Blade due to the holiday weekend. Memorial Day is a day on which those who died in active military service are remembered. Many of us observe it by having a cookout and/or time with our families. I remember this as the weekend that my parents would always open our pool and I think many of the area pools will open this weekend. However you celebrate it, I hope you make great memories with your family and friends.
On the weekends that we do not receive any coupon inserts, I spend time getting rid of my expired coupons. Did you know that you can send expired coupons (up to 6 months) to our miliary overseas. Also, some of our local legion halls accept them and send them to the military. It is an easy way to give back to those protecting our country.
There are many sales at Meijer and Kroger on hot dogs, hamburgers, condiments, fresh fruits, etc because it is the beginning of cookout season. I bet you didn’t know “cookout” was a season did you ??
Do any of you have any favorite summer recipes for cookouts or family gatherings? We have a jalapeno dip that everyone loves – it isn’t too “hot”, but has enough flavor that it is always a BIG hit at any gathering we have. Visit my blog freetastesgood.com and share your favorite recipes or browse some of our recipes under the “awesome recipes” tab.
It’s time to kick back, fire up those grills, and get cookin ?. So often we get so busy with daily life, that we forget to be in the “moment”. If you’re like Jamie (my husband) and me, we need to just slow down and enjoy what is right in front of us. This is always a great weekend to make fantastic memories that will last a lifetime. Some of my favorite memories are around the bonfire; especially when I throw food in the fire because I have no self-control. I have been known to throw a bag of Cheetos in the fire so I didn’t eat the whole bag. Can anyone else relate?! We set the everyday chores, worries, stress aside and take a day to just enjoy life and all the blessings we have in front of us.
Also, the MudHens are home tonight and tomorrow. It is always a great time to go to a MudHens game, especially with nice weather forecasted. If you go, be sure to look for our son who is working on the grounds crew. He LOVES being a part of the MudHens’ Family.
