New Recipe for Tilapia -- So Yummy!!!

I used the recipe Here, except I swapped out the dried Basil for Italian seasoning & the onion powder for Garlic Powder & omitted the celery salt, as I did not have these items on hand. This was absolutely delicious! I served it with Parmesan Romano Rice, broccoli with cheese sauce, homemade focaccia bread & a salad. Joe wants this to become a weekly meal, we'll have to see what kind of sales I can find for tilapia locally... Leave a comment and tell me what you thought of it if you decide to try it at home :-D Bon Appetit!

Martin's TP Run!!!

There is nothing like stumbling upon a great toilet paper sale!! It is by far one of the hardest things to stock pile, because even with a sale and coupon, it is usually not very cheap. So, when I read the Martin's ad this week and noticed that the Quilted Northern TP was a decent price and I had coupons, I figured I would stock up for a while, one can NEVER have too much TP ;-)
4 - 6 Mega Roll Pks Quilted Northern Toilet Paper $5.99 ea - $2 ea Sale - $1/1 MC x 4 = $2.99 ea or 4/$11.96
2 Bertolli Alfredo Sauces $2.55 ea - $0.55 ea Sale - $1.50/2 MC = 2/$2.50
+ Tax $0.96
Total OOP: $15.42 -- Saved $14.60 or about 50%!!!
