I cooked it in my Instant Pot (look for the directions on Monday 10/23/17), and used the meat for Tuesday night’s dinner. I put the rest in the freezer for later use in soups, enchiladas, and/or quesadillas. My husband and I had leftovers, one daughter had breakfast-for-dinner, and the other daughter had a can of soup.

I used to read intermittently before then but got a regular blog rotation going once I quit social media 3. Luckily, my little is starting to enjoy some of these activities – like picking the peaches from our tree, grocery shopping, baking/cooking, and gardening and I love spending time with her doing these activities too!

Family Balance Sheet

MAY 14, 2013

Using only cash while on vacation will force you to question each purchase, especially when it comes to spending money on unnecessary souvenirs--you won''t want to waste your cash. We told our daughters that they could set up a lemonade stand at the yard sale to earn their spending money. Make a list of expenditures.
