Happy Memorial Day!
Today we celebrate the women and men who died serving their country. What a great sacrifice those service men and women have made in order to keep our country free.
I found this quote that really summarizes this day:
The story of America's quest for freedom is inscribed on her history in the blood of her patriots. -Randy Vader
So while you are out at your BBQ's, fishing on the lake or just relaxing at home take a minute to remember those who have died in order for you to be able to do those things.

Mom's Snowball Cookies
I have to tell you they are my absolute favorite cookie. I normally make them around Christmas time but honestly they are so good that I could eat them anytime. I have to be careful though because I can honestly eat the whole batch at once.
Mom's Snowball Cookies
1/2 cup powdered sugar, sifted (my mom never sifted anything she said she didn't believe in it)
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/2 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup walnuts chopped
Cream butter and sugar in large bowl until light. Stir in vanilla. Sit flour and salt and mix in. Stir in Walnuts. Shape into balls (they should be about an inch in diameter). Place on un-greased cookie sheet. Bake 15 minutes at 350'.
Roll in powdered sugar straight out of oven. Cool. Roll again in powdered sugar.
Makes about 36 cookies.
Winco Deals

Mom's Sugar Cookies
I remember my mom making cookies all the time. In fact homemade cookies were my all time favorite after school snack. I don't ever remember having store bought cookies (the only ones we ever had were from my Girl Scout troop but I don't count those) in our home. Actually the first time that I had a Chips Ahoy cookie I was about 11, and I thought that it was the grossest thing ever. I still can't see the reason why people buy their cookies in pre-made packages, to me a "real" cookie is homemade.
It seemed that we always had a batch of fresh baked cookies in our house and the smell of cookies baking makes me feel at home.
Mom's Sugar Cookies
4 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter
2 cups sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
Mix wet ingredients together. Then add dry. Chill in fridge 30 min. Roll out and cut into desired shapes (my mom always used a glass drinking cup dipped in flour). Refrigerate another 10 minutes. Bake in 350' preheated oven 8-10 minutes. Let cool before frosting.
New Target Manufacures Coupons
Target has some new manufactures coupons on thier site.
They can not be combined with any other coupons but can be used at other stores.
I'm sure we'll find some use for them in the future.

BOGO Littlest Pet Shop Coupon
These often go on sale for buy one get one free.
So you possibly could score two for free combined with the right sale.
Go here to print.
This is a hot coupon.
I would print it now before it is gone!
Clearance at Walgreens
So, possibly you can get them for free to a $.25 moneymaker.
I recommend not rushing off to the store to see if yours has the clearanced toothbrushes.
If you are already planning on being there then I would check and see if yours has them too. As with most clearance it varies by store.
Happy hunting!
Possibly Doublers on Sunday
I have not seen the ad yet but it does follow along what my manager told me about them being on the first and 15th of the month.
I will post match-ups later.
Mom's Homemade Bisquick Mix
I remember her making homemade Bisquick mix in order to save time and money. The mix works just like the store bought kind but costs so much less to make (and in my opinion tastes better too).
Mom's Homemade Bisquick Mix
Can be used in recipes calling for Bisquick.
To find recipes to use it with go here for a blog that has hundreds of free Bisquick recipes.
Free Ritz Crackerfuls Sample
Last summer I was able to score a lot of them for free.
In fact we just finished off the last box.
Now they have new one's with Bacon.
Yum!
I may not have mentioned this before but I really love bacon. In fact I went through a phase when I felt sick eating most meat. The only meat that I could eat was bacon. My family started calling me a Bacontarian (or a Vegetarian that only eats bacon).
I thought it was hilarious.

Mom's Banana Bread Recipe
She was diagnosed several years ago and has been digressing very rapidly.
I went to visit her yesterday and she was better than I had seen her in awhile.
As I visited with her she talked about things that she used to be able to do like baking.
My mom was the best cook that I have ever known. Just thinking about my childhood I have fond memories of my mom in the kitchen making us delicious things to eat.
She put her whole heart and all her love into the food she made for us.
I think that's probably why I love to cook and to share my favorite recipes with all of you.
Well all of this got me to thinking about one of my favorite recipes; mom's Banana Bread.
It is so yummy and full of all kinds of good memories for me.
So I am going to share it with you.
It is obviously one of my family's favorites and I hope that you will like it enough to make it one of yours.
Mom's Banana Bread
2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup sugar
1 cup chopped nuts
1/2 cup shortening
2 eggs
2 large bananas mashed
1/4 teaspoon salt
Pre-heat oven to 350'.
Combine ingredients and mix.
Pour into a greased loaf pan.
Bake for 45 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
She served it warm with butter and lots of love.
I would suggest doing both!

Readers Printing Questions
To print in black and white what I do is:
Click on the Start menu
Click on Printers and Faxes
Under "Printer Tasks" on the left click on "Select Printing Preferences"
Click on the tab "Color" at the top
Then select "Print in Grayscale"
This is how I set my computer (an HP) to print in just black and white.
If this doesn't work for you I would recommend looking it up with your computer or printers manufacture. A lot of them have websites that might help.
Question: What is a good deal on black and white cartridges and color ones as well?
This is something I haven't got an awesome deal on yet.
I usually get my ink cartridges refilled. I like to take mine to Walgreens because they have coupons in their ad often (usually a refill of either black and white or color for $9.99). Also sometimes when you refill with them, there is a 50% off your next refill on the box it comes in. This makes a refill around $6.00.
I also use Register Rewards that I have which are about to expire on them.
Question: What is a reasonable deal on printer paper?
Printer paper is something that I don't pay very much for. I normally pay around $1.00 per ream. I like to buy it from Staples or other office supply stores when they have rebates because you also get rewards for buying paper through them.
If anyone has a great deal on printer ink please feel free to share.
I love to hear any questions that you have.
Yummy Freezer Calzones
Well this happens to me all the time.Usually we wind up getting take out or ordering a pizza.
I really hate this though because it just costs so much money.
Not to mention how unhealthy I feel after eating out.
So lately I have been trying to come up with things that I can make and freeze to use for those nights that don't want to do a bunch of cooking. I came up with a recipe for freezer calzones.
(My husband thinks they are like a "good tasting" version of hot pockets)
They are super easy to do.
2 batches of your favorite pizza dough-will make about 20 good size calzones (Using either homemade or store bought is fine. See my recipe for dough below)
Items to stuff your calzone (see ideas below)
Plastic wrapparchment papaercookie sheetsgallon size freezer bag
My recipe for pizza dough:
2 1/2 to 3 1/2 cup all purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 cup warm water (120 to 130 degrees)
2 tablespoons cooking oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
Combine 1 1/4 cup flour, salt and yeast in bowel.
Add water and oil.
With electric mixer beat on low for 30 seconds.
Scrape bowel.
Then beat on high speed for 3 minutes.
Stir in as much of the reamaining flour as you can.
Either knead by hand for 6-8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Or use mixer with dough hook and mix on low speed until smooth and elastic.
Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
Second:
Seperate dough into 20 equal size balls. Let rise for 10 more minutes.
Third:
On a generously floured surface, roll dough into an approximate 7'x 5' rectangle.
Fourth:
Place topping on one half of rolled out dough about a 1/2 inch from the edge.
Our Families favorite fillings:
Chicken and Broccoli
mix together 1 pound chicken cooked and chopped into bite size peices
about 1 1/2 to 2 cups cooked brocolli1 can cream of mushroom soup
1/3 cup sour cream
salt and pepper to taste
(recipe makes about 10-12 depending on size)
Pepperoni and Cheese8 oz. pizza sauce (can be homemade or store bought)
cheese sticks
5-6 pepperoni's per calzone
(recipe makes about 10 calzones)
BBQ Chicken
1 pound chicken shredded
1/2-3/4 cup BBQ sauce (enough to gernerously coat the chicken)
1/2 onion cooked til soft (I don't add this for the ones the kids eat.)
(recipe makes about 10-12 calzones)
You of course can add any filling items that you want.
Fifth: Gently place the other side of the dough on top of the filling.
Sixth: Roll the edges inward and press to seal with finger.
Seventh: On a parchment lined cookie sheet place the calzones. (I ran out and so I didn't have any for the picture)
Eigth: Cut several small slits in the top of calzone so that steam can release when cooking.
Ninth: Place cookie sheet in freezer until the calzones are hard.
Tenth:
Wrap frozen calzones individually in plastic wrap. Place wrapped calzones in freezer bag.
When ready to bake:
Pre-heat oven to 350 degerees.
Cook frozen calzones for approximately 30-40 minutes. Check at 30 minutes.
Calzones are done when the dough is browned on top and it is heated all the way through.
Serve.
They last up to two months in the freezer.
