A Women's (Mothers) work is never done.

Run, run, RUN and never get done. Or - the faster I go the behinder I get. :)

A very busy - productive Saturday.
To breakfast, then Walmart. Home to a huge pile of laundry and cleaning.
Bud cleaned out his closet and swept the upstairs.
I worked on the laundry, made ice, and Apple Salad.
Figured that the Apple Salad didn't need to be baked so I was safe in making it for use in our next couple of days meals.



Apple Salad

1 cup diced non peeled Red Delicious Apples
1 cup diced non-peeled Golden Delicious apples
1 cup chopped celery
½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Combine ingredients

Dressing:
½ cup Miracle Whip
1 tablespoon sugar
½ teaspoon lemon juice
Dash of salt.
¾ cup Cool Whip.

Blend ingredients. Gently fold dressing into mixture and chill. Refrigerate at least one hour before mealtime. If desired, serve on a bed of lettuce topped with pecan halves.

From CMT.com by Hazel Smith. Thanks Hazel we love this salad.

The optional is my addition.
Note: Optional - add small marshmallows and grapes. (seedless)





Also checked the Vegetable salad to see that I had enough of it made so I would be able to carry my lunch next week again. A fellow curves member gave me this recipe, and I love it.

Vegetable Salad

½ cup canola oil
½ cup vinegar
1 cup sugar
½ teaspoon salt

Boil - cool and put over vegetables of your choice.


I use:
Chopped celery
Chopped Green peppers
1 can Each of DRAINED:
Peas
Corn
Green beans
Carrots
Lima beans
Optional - onions or any other cooked vegetable per your choice.

Now I'm sure Bud won't eat any of this - it has oil/vinegar on it. And he doesn't like vinegar. But guess that leaves more for me, for my lunches.



As I cleaned out and organized the freezer I found some dinner rolls that needed to be baked. But they had to be set out and let rise of 5-6 hours first. Yes, I tried them. Don't know how good they will be tomorrow, but hope to warm them up and have them like homemade bread with our Sunday dinner.

Tonight, we went out to friends and had Subway for dinner. Enjoying a nice visit with them and their little ones.

So, today has been a very busy one for me.

Tomorrow is the Lord's Day.... so I really need to get to bed so I won't be late for church and Sunday School.

Nite everybody. Hope you all had as a productive day as I did.
