Many times a recipe will call for a packet of Ranch or Italian Dressing dry mix. I usually have Ranch, but I don’t always have Italian. Instead of scrapping the recipe, you can always make your own.
In many cases it is actually cheaper to make your own anyway. Unless I get the packets on sale or I buy the HUGE container at Sam’s Club, it is cheaper to make them.
Plus this is NOT only for salad dressing, you can use this seasoning in spaghetti, lasagna and really anywhere that calls for Italian Seasoning. Make sure to get your seasonings in bulk if you plan on making a lot.
Have you ever made a mix and realized that is was NOT cheaper to make it and that you could have saved money just buying it already done? I want to write a few posts on what is better to buy and what is better to make. Would that be helpful at all to you?

If you are like me, you have a LOT of bacon and chicken right now 🙂 My friend Nicole E. sent over a recipe that she made over the weekend using both the chicken and bacon!
From Nicole:
This recipe was super easy. This recipe is more on an appetizer scale, but we modified it using regular sized chicken breasts (I would def cut Zycon’s breasts in half.) Oh, we are a family of 5 and only needed one box cream cheese for 5 rolls. Use as much bacon as you want! I pounded out the Chicken flatter so it rolled up better. We used regular cream cheese and chopped up some chives. I thought it needed some fresh garlic mixed in, that would’ve been good. Salt and Pep of course. We also chopped up some Jalapenos and stuck those in there (we took seeds out, hardly any spice at all.)
From Blogchef
Ingredients:
12 boneless skinless chicken breasts halves
2 (8 oz) cartons chive and onion cream cheese
12 slices of bacon
salt (to taste)
2 tablespoons butter
Cooking Instructions:
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Between 2 sheets of wax paper with a mallet flatten chicken breasts to ½” thickness.
Step 2: Spread 3 tablespoons of cream cheese over each chicken breast. Then Dot with butter and season with salt. Wrap with bacon and stick a toothpick through the rolled chicken breast to hold it together. Roll up and stick a toothpick through to hold it together.
Step 3: Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes (or until juices run clear).
Step 4: Turn on the broiler and broil six inches from the heat for 5 minutes or until the bacon is crispy.
Guess what I got in the mail yesterday? My Canvas People picture! I have wanted a family one for a long time and am on my way to making that entry way design that I keep showing you, I have to only do one every few months though because there are so many of us!
The special that they are offering is a FREE 8×10 + you pay $14.99 shipping (awesome deal) OR you can get $35 off a larger one and get free shipping. I choose the larger one, it is a 11×14 for $31.99 and got free shipping.
The ones that I do of the kids will be the FREE 8×10, so I will pay $15 for each one of those. At 7 kids that will be $105. Sheesh! Who has that many kids?! 🙂
Basically, I want to do something like the entryway picture above. I need to map out what size they need to be and who goes where, but for now I can just put the family one in the hallway!
Go HERE to get yours!
Recently the Lalaloopsy Little Tykes Doll House went on sale at Walmart. I know a lot of you went out to find the Lalaloopsy Dollhouse and came home empty handed. They are now on sale at Walmart.com for only $84.90 down from $169.97. This is the same sale price that there were in the store.
We found one at our store and my kids love it, we have outside on our deck. It is a smaller one, the 4 year old fits perfectly, but the bigger kids still play on it!

There is a new $3/2 Robitussin coupon (use zip code 77477) that you can print. Many people are reporting that you can use it at Walmart on the “To Go” packs, which you can. The coupon says “any”. This makes it a $.50 money maker on each one. The problem is that they are very hard to find, readers that have found them have seen them in the check out lanes in their store. But not all stores have them. Just a FYI.
Adult Robitussin: $5.64
Use $1.50/2 Off Printable ( use zip 77477)
Total: $4.14 each
Just in case you can’t find the “to go” packs it is still a great coupon on the regular size!

Tonight many of our ads switch over to the new ad, while I am excited about the mega event we will get at Kroger Wednesday, I am sad for the produce deals at Randalls to be gone. I ran in yesterday to get bell peppers for $.79 each so I could make stuffed green pepper later in the week and they looked so good we had them last night. Which I know totally messes up my Menu Plan, but I think we will suffer through!
Some of my kids will eat a cooked green pepper and some wouldn’t. I just made them eat the stuffing on the inside which they loved. I halved a few of these for the smaller kids and have an extra one to take for lunch today! Sweet!
