Rise and Shine is my way of starting the day with you – almost as if we’re chatting over a hot cup of coffee or tea! I share my favorite deals of the day, highlights from yesterday, and anything else that might help you save time, money or energy. Published in the morning on Monday through Friday – as I’m able.
Good morning! Howdy. I’m sipping my coffee and feeling pretty optimistic about today. How are you feeling?
Yesterday I tackled FIVE loads of laundry at a local laundromat. I had waited a bit too long! The good news is the laundromat is so fast – you can get all the loads going at the same time and it was all done within 2 hours and under $13. A big part of the laundry was all the school clothes we’ve been picking up secondhand – I mentioned some of our finds here. Everything is washed and ready to go for school – which starts in just two weeks – so that’s a relief. It’s also a relief to have clean underwear and our full arsenal of clothing again. 🙂
Last night I made one of my favorite meals Broccoli and Sausage Stir Fry. I’ve been making this recipe for a LONG time now. Since we started traveling I completely cut out the oregano – since we don’t have a big spice collection. And you know what? I don’t really miss it much. Anyway, I found some kielbasa sausage on super markdown at Albertsons this week and decided to whip up a batch for dinner last night – with extra broccoli. It’s a super fast, almost one-pot (except for pasta) meal. To conserve propane, and since we have electric hook-ups, I use this electric skillet in the trailer – it’s quickly become one of my favorite appliances. You can easily control the heat, it’s insanely easy to clean and it’s on the smaller size, so easy to store. If you plan to buy one – wait for it to drop below $20, it’s not a good deal on Amazon right now.
And speaking of good deals on kitchen gear, this Gotham Steel 10-Piece Kitchen Nonstick Frying Pan and Cookware Set is the Amazon Deal of the Day today for $89.99 (reg. $199.99). This is the BEST price it’s been and appears to be a super strong deal! This deal good today only, while supplies last.
