What to make for dinner?

This is genius!  A couple of gals started a website called e-mealz..  For $1.25 a week, you get 7 dinner menus, a complete shopping list and an estimate of what this should cost you.  And, if you choose Ralphs, for example, they base their menus on what is on sale in the flyer for that week. 

I admit I have tried only one recipe so far - but it was super easy and the kids loved it - and the shopping was a breeze with  the list organized by department. 

If you are in need of dinner ideas, I highly recommend this site.

Happy 4th of July

We had a really nice day, starting with the local parade in Newhall, followed by a barbecue with the folks, then heading back out to watch fireworks.  This year's finale was the most amazing I've seen yet. 

When we finally got back home after fighting the traffic to cross the valley, our neighbors were setting off mortars. Always fun, and a little nerve-wracking worrying that we'll get caught by the cops or we'll burn someone's house down.  Sadly no pictures this year.
