My Frugal Week
On Thursday I cut up a golden honeydew melon and watermelon for the Fourth of July. I also made more gelatin/fruit cups to have on hand as needed.
Bailey was invited to a friend’s home for the Fourth of July and wanted to bring a dish to share. I thought about it and what ingredients I had in my kitchen and decided on an apple cobbler with candied pineapple and walnuts. I also made deviled eggs, but she decided to keep those for here. 😂
On Sunday I removed the produce drawers from the refrigerator and gave them and the inside on the fridge a good scrub down with hot soapy water.
Recipe of the Week
This is a recipe I created for my daughter to take to her Fourth of July event. I had some candied pineapple from Paradise that I wanted to add to the cobbler and it really made it taste so good.
