Oh boy, this weekend was fun! LOL. Understatement. We got an itch to repaint and redo some of the decor in the living room due to guest coming over for a Super Bowl Party. We dealt with moving furniture, matching paint, cleaning, removing chair rails, spackling, cleaning blinds, etc… needless to say, we are really worn out! Hey, I am a master painter now. LOL. Not something I am proud of. Do I really need to go to work tomorrow. *sigh*

The good thing, the living room looks great with the minor redo. And I cleaned out a bunch of drawers and magazines. Feeling lighter with out the extra weight of stuff.

So, my apologies for getting this post out late. But let’s talk food. The Super Bowl – frugal friendly – it’s a potluck. We are hosting Coors Light, Stella Artois, and a Nacho Bar. Went to Costco to buy 2 big backs of tortilla chips, 1 bottle of salsa, 1 lg. can of Queso (keep warm in crockpot) and then I am going to buy all the veggies (tomatoes, olives, cheese, avocado), jalapenos, and sour cream/guacamole later this week. Can’t decide who I want to win – Colts or Saints. Well, let me give it to the Saints since it’s their first time going. 🙂

Sizzling Salmon & Spinach Salad with Soy Vinaigrette – I am craving a good salmon salad again. This one has 5 stars, so I gotta try it. Perhaps I wil accompany it with some cheese toast and a glass of white zinfandel My Recipes

Chicken Chimichangas – Tuesdays are usually mexican night and this is no exception. I have some left over shredded chicken from Sunday night’s chicken tamale casserole (which was worth making, but I added fresh tomatoes, olives and sliced avocados to the recipe – delish) that needs to be used up. I can’t think of a better way. My Recipes

Sandwiches & Cream of Celery Soup – Guess what? I have chicken stock made from Sunday’s night dinner too! Because after boiling my chicken to shred…well, you can’t just throw out the stock. Save it for better use. And this is a perfect way. The Wednesday Chef

Steak, potatoes, and veggies – This is usually a weekly menu item. My husband loves his steak and baked potato. His steak rub = his secret recipe. 🙂

We are going out to eat – Our house is getting ready for a Super Bowl party. We’re gonna be tuckered out getting our house ready for a soiree of friends. So, this Friday night we are hitting the city for a bite to eat!

Fend for Yourself Saturday – leftovers, fix your own, lazy day Saturday… the kids love it because they can fix usually whatever their stomachs desire.

Super Bowl Nacho Bar – warm up the queso in the crockpot, put the beer on ice, gather good friends and watch a great game!
