Mexican Casserole

Mexican Casserole 

This is one of our favorite meals. Today Mr.C. Was busy babysitting his two grand boys while I was at work. He decided to try making it in the crockpot.  It turned out so very good.  What I am asking myself is why we hadn’t done it in the crockpot before today.  


 
My co~worker Malia gave me skin care products to use.  I had never heard of this brand before today.  Of course I googled them and the prices of each item.  Her soon to be In Laws buys pallets of stuff from Amazon.  They gave her a box of beauty products and she was kind enough to share with me. 






 


I enjoy new beauty products  and can’t wait to try them.  Do you have a favorite beauty line you use regularly?  If so what brand do you recommend?   Lately I am using Jordan Essentials.  I had bought the kit to try to sell the products but found that really wasn’t my cup of tea. I really don’t want to put effort into a side hustle at this point of my life.

Grocery shopping day

It’s that time of the month.  Road trip to Norman Oklahoma to buy groceries from Crest grocery store. I like the store.  The layout is good and the store is clean and well lighted. 
My budget is $500.00.  Although I do try to stay around $400.00 for this trip. Then that leaves me $100 to pick up items thru the rest of the month.  
We also eat out quite a bit thru the month as well.  
My BFF Cherrie went with me thankfully.  She is a big help at the grocery store.  Usually before we go buy groceries we do shop at other stores.  I am so close to having all Christmas bought.  So today we went to TJ Max, Burlingtons, Michael’s and Target.  

For lunch we tried Bad daddy’s Burgers.  I had the cheeseburger with coleslaw.  It had great flavor and was so good.  We sat at the bar so we could get served at a faster pace.  Unfortunately the wait time for a table was around 25 minutes.  The bartender was quite friendly.  

I almost forgot to take a picture of my food. Just felt like you would want to see my smash burger. 

So many different bottles of alcohol.  So I haven’t been to bars in many years. So had to take this photo just so I can have memories of today. 





On our way home we treat ourselves to Starbucks.  During the holidays our favorite is peppermint mocha latte.  I am grateful for my friendship with Cherrie.
