Sorry about the late notice…

This is the last day to get this great deal.

The Entertainment Guide, regularly $35, is $25 with the $10 off in-ad coupon. Today is the last day. PLUS, you will get a $5 register reward to use on your purchases next week (short expiration date on these!), making it only $20.

The best part? The Entertainment Guide has six $5/$50 coupons at Farm Fresh on page 1 again (1 for every 2-month period, first one good thru 12/31). I was able to use all of these over the last year.

Fabulous, Easy Corn Bread

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009

This is one of the recipes that just works. It’s simple and tasty.


Corn Bread

1 box Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix
1 box Jiffy Golden Yellow Cake Mix (these can sometimes be hard to find, but Walmart usually has them)
+ ingredients to make both mixes

Prepare each box according to it’s own directions in separate bowls, then fold the batter together. Pour into a greased 9″x13″ pan. Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes.

Simple Eggnog Recipe,

Friday, December 4th, 2009

This is a classic, non-alcoholic, recipe that my sister Becky taught me to make when we were kids. If you have issues with raw eggs, you may prefer the grocery store variety of eggnog. I’m sure the original recipe probably called for half-and-half or cream, but we just used whole milk, and that’s the way I like it. (I personally have to thin down store-bought eggnog.)

Into a blender, combine the following:

  • 4    Eggs
  • ¼    cups Granulated Sugar
  • 3    cups Milk
  • 1    tsp Vanilla Extract
    dash Salt

Blend on high until smooth, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle with a dab of nutmeg for a garnish.

Serves 4
