Homemade Cleaners Continued...

Here are a few more tried-and-true cleaners, courtesy of a Taste of Home magazine insert:

Carpet Freshener: Mix baking soda with cinnamon and sprinkle on carpets. Wait 15 minutes, then vacuum. (I have tried this and it works great!)

Mirror Cleaner: Clean with canned shaving cream (not gel) for a streak-free finish.

Scuff Mark Cleaner: Apply toothpaste to an old toothbrush. Scrub, then wipe clean with a cloth. (We also use a pencil eraser at our house for black scuff marks.)

Shower Door Cleaner (For Glass Doors): Clean doors thoroughly. Then wipe with baby oil on a soft cloth. The oil will prevent soap scum and hard water spots for months! (I have done this and can attest to it...it keeps them clean forever!)

No Meal Plan Monday


This week we will not be having a meal plan as I am highly involved in our church's "Deep Sea Adventure" and won't be home most of the week.

We will have good breakfasts though of: bagels, eggs, smoothies, and cereal.

Lunches will be: mac and cheese, buttery noodles, pb & j, and tuna salad.

Dinners will be on the run (or at the church). We'll see! :)

Cowboy Chow

Here's a new recipe for y'all to try!

Cowboy Chow

Mix together in large bowl:

1 can pork and beans, drained
1 can kidney beans, drained
1 can corn, drained
1 cup BBQ sauce
1 cup Pace picante sauce
2 T dried minced onion
1# turkey smoked sausage (I used Butterball)

Pour into 9x13 baking dish, cover with foil and bake 30-40 minutes in 350 oven.
OR, cook on high in crockpot for 3 hours.

I served this with cornbread cake (1 box cornbread mix + 1 box yellow cake mix baked together) and sliced cucumbers with ranch dressing. I had some happy cowboys and cowgirls here tonight!

Have you tried anything new lately?
