Rise and Shine is my way of sitting down and having a cup of coffee with you! We talk about the new deals of the day, highlights from yesterday, and anything else that might help us save time, money or energy. Published Monday through Friday – as I’m able.
Good morning! Welcome to Wednesday. How are you doing today? Did you see the sunset last night? This was my view from my room last night – what a sight! Happy Earth Day! Some days it’s just a matter of slowing down and seeing the beauty around us, right!? #nofilter
Yesterday I took a big load of items to the local thrift shop. Felt good to donate the items and it feels good to get the items out of my house! I did get a tax deductible receipt for my donations – don’t forget to do that if you’re donating items to a local place.
For dinner last night we had taco salads. I know you’re not surprised – we seem to have it at least once a week. I took some marked down ground turkey out of the freezer the night before – and cooked that up. To help stretch the meat, the last few times I’ve also sautéed sliced peppers, onions and mushrooms – with taco seasoning. It’s like making a batch of vegetarian fajita mix AND topping your taco meat with it – a taco/fajita salad. 🙂 You get lots of a veggies, don’t use as much taco meat, and the liquid from the veggies almost serves like a dressing – it’s delightful and so simple. Fresh avocados and tomatoes top it off. It also makes great leftovers. What’s for dinner at your place?
Do you have plans for this weekend? I am *thinking* I might get around to planting my garden. Even though we plan to sell the house – I’d love to see some veggies growing in the back and I think it would be a great gift for the new family that will hopefully buy our house (soon after we list, in my perfect world). 🙂 So I’m gearing up for that.
Mother’s Day is May 10 this year – and I found a bunch of really cute items for Mother’s Day gifts – starting as low as $5 over on the Nordstrom website. I love that they all ship FREE and they are creative and chic.
