Monday- Tuna sandwiches on Homemade Bread, chips and veggies (youth night)
Tuesday- “Cinco de Mayo” meal: Baked Burritos, refried beans, Mexican rice, coleslaw, guacamole, salsa, chips
Wednesday- Tortilla roll-ups, chips, veggies, and cookies (track meet)
Thursday- Baked Chicken, baked potatoes, homecanned green beans, salad
Friday- Greek Style Shrimp Dinner, bean salad, Artisan Bread
Saturday- Turkey burgers on homemade buns, oven-baked fries, carrots
Sunday- Mother’s Day (tea? we haven’t decided yet!)
This week is sorta routine, but I plan on taking pictures of the Greek Style Shrimp and putting that recipe up on Saturday – it’s one of those recipes I love: super easy (especially when made with pre-cooked shrimp), fast, and flavorful!
And I did make the Rhubarb “Big Crumb Cake” from Smitten Kitchen on Friday with our garden rhubarb, and it was sublime! I see it becoming the recipe I go to for any coffee cake now. I’m picturing it with raspberries, blueberries, or blackberries when our berry patch starts producing in a month…

I believe a cottage can be anywhere or anything (condo, ranch, farmhouse) as long as you have a "cottage mentality" which puts people above things, celebrates imperfections, embraces simplicity, and finds joy in everyday life. Thanks for joining me!
I stumbled onto your blog through Org. Junkie’s linky list. It’s fun to find yet another frugal Oregonian! As I’ve read through your older posts, I’ve noticed we hold many of the same values & ideas on saving & spending money. I’ll be checking back often. Thanks!!

Thank you! I went to your blog and really liked it – I’m bookmarking it. I especially liked your price comparison posts- I liked seeing them in black and white like that – very helpful.
Where are you in OR- Portland area? We lived there for about 15 years. I’m missing the Oregonian’s coupons – our paper down here only has about 50% of the coupons.
