I hung clothes outside at 5 am this morning before dh got up. He turned on the Tv and said "you didn't hang clothes outside did you?" it's supposed to thunderstorm here today but I'm gambling it holds off or is light so we'll see. Sure as I had went out there and brought everything in it wouldn't rain.

I am hoping Sueanne still has her old recipe she gave me a long time ago. I'm puzzled by this recipe why you need to use whole milk instead of even 2%?
I can't remember if I posted but I also made Granola Bars this weekend. I found I think a more frugal one on the 30 Day Gourmet website. It uses brown sugar, eggs, whole wheat flour, vegetable oil, honey or corn syrup, baking powder, oats, rice crispy cereal, chopped nuts or sunflower seeds and then if you want to add raisins,etc. you can. It also has the variations to make small batch of 16 or up to 96 bars at once. The one I made used alot of expensive ingredients like the sweetened condensed milk. Seems like there was a recipe on Hillbilly Housewife for make your own condensed milk but I couldn't access it yesterday... maybe she closed it down?
We don't eat alot of yogurt anymore but making it into Smoothies works well and is a good, easy breakfast or snack plus I'm sneaking in fruits.. dh isn't much of a fruit eater unless it's in a pie or dessert. I'm buying mixed frozen fruits so we're both getting the calcium we need and fruits without the sugar. Making our own will be even better since it won't have any sugars put in it at all except Splenda.
Not much new frugal to report today. Hand washed dishes let air dry. Made salmon steaks with veggies for dinner last night. Tonight will be either veggie burgers or spaghetti.
This weekend is my nephews 5th birthday July 4th so my sister will have all of us to her house for a BBQ, cake and ice cream. We haven't bought his gift yet.. he wants a lego truck, so we'll probably get that and give him money to buy something else with.
Well that's about it for now.
