Ugh! I don't like to do that:( Walk around Wallyworld all full & just wanting to go home!
Luckily it wasn't a huge list & we "divided to conquer". He took the non-food side with one buggy & I did food with another. First time we've tried that & it worked well.

    Yep, that'll cut it in half I suppose! Of course his list was probably smaller than yours, right?

    Dale, I missed you too!!!:cry::cry::cry:

    Sorry Charm, I liked and the had to unlike your trip to Wallyworld. :laugh: I feel for ya!!! We have a really nice Dollar General just a few miles up the road from me, and DG is my new Wallyworld. LOL. It's a rural setting, in fact just a couple of business in the little town, they have a really great selection, all the basic stuff, no not great grocery items, but honestly a lot of the basic items. Generally few people in the store, and small parking lots, no walking for miles. I honestly don't think I've gone to WalMart in almost a year, and that was on vacation for a fishing license.:lol::lol:

    We have excellent shopping about 20 minutes from my door, and St. Louis is roughly 30 minutes depending on traffic....which could mean hours, but hard to count that...LOL.

    Yea, I see Elf is going to hook us up with some new recipes!!! :D:D:D

    Okay, better quit typing here and get my bath and the rest of my chores done for the day so I can get back here before you all go to bed. :laugh:

    Of course! He had 3 things. I had everything else. It still saved me having to walk the entire store :lol:

    Yeah, we've got a few of those DG's around here too, but there's a few things we MUST have that they don't carry. We only do WW when we have too. Can't beat their price for the brand of dog food we buy, and we're addicted to Starbucks breakfast blend coffee, and again, can't beat the price there.

    Last time I went to Wal-Mart it cost me $165; guess I shouldn't wait 3 weeks, huh?

    Tonight’s Yummies!!!

    Ok, so Lori wanted a simple thing to do with squash. This is as simple as it gets, after all you have to cook the squash, right? So while it’s cooking, you do other things. Here’s what I did tonight, all put together, baked and cooked in about an hour.

    Squash Soufflé

    2 pounds of squash (zucchini or yellow or a combination thereof)
    3 slices white bread
    1 cup milk (non-fat if preferred)
    1 med. Onion, chopped
    2 cloves garlic, minced
    Olive oil
    4 eggs (or Eggbeaters, if preferred)
    ½ cup grated or shredded Parmesan (or blend of Parmesan/Romano/Asiago)

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees, and spray a baking dish with vegetable spray.

    Slice and steam squash and let cool/drain.

    IMG_20130711_180558_679.jpg

    While squash is steaming, sauté onion and garlic in a bit of olive oil until opaque (don’t brown…the garlic will become bitter); break up bread in a large bowl & pour the milk over to soak.

    IMG_20130711_180553_101.jpg

    Mix in the 4 eggs and the sautéed onion/garlic. When the squash is done/tender, cool for a few minutes (so the eggs won’t “scramble”). When cool, add the squash to the egg/bread/milk/onion mixture. Fold in the half cup (or more) cheese and mix well.

    Pour into prepared baking dish and bake for 50 – 60 minutes…until golden and set. (Depending on your oven it could take more or less time…keep an eye on it.)
    8 Servings:
    Approximately 156 calories and 9 gr. Fat per serving**
    **Using non-fat milk and EggBeaters, this will be 120/6, not much difference, so I use the “real” thing.

    Now, while this was baking, I decided to make stuffed burgers. I took two (6 oz) burgers out of the freezer and thawed them, then divided them into four (3 oz) pieces. I took two and flattened them out, and chopped up some pepper/jack cheese and put on top.

    ....to be continued....

    In the meantime, I took 2 slices of bacon (chopped) and cooked until brown.

    IMG_20130711_190936_170.jpg

    I put the drained bacon on top of the cheese, and put the tops on the burgers, sealing the edges.

    IMG_20130711_191806_578.jpg

    I sprinkled with garlic/parsley powder and Monteral seasoning, and put on the grill for about 6 minutes on one side/4 on the other.
    In the meantime, the corn was cooking (bring to a boil, cook for 10 minutes, turn it off)

    And, here is the finished result.

    I could have shown you the empty plates, but, well, I don’t want to torture you guys too much.

    :( Wish you could send it to me Chim...
    Oh, welcome home dear! :) Sorry about your back, I know that's hard on you:(

    Thanks Dale. I'm going to do something I normally don't do...take my meds. Hopefully they'll help! Still got my fingers crossed that I can get a day off on Saturday!
