ON THE BRIGHT SIDE

SEPTEMBER 18TH,  2012

If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side

It's TUESDAY!  

CHEESE BURGER DAY

National Cheeseburger Day is today. Top off America's favorite sandwich, with a piece of cheese.

Celebrate National Cheeseburger Day by firing up the grill, and cooking cheeseburgers. You can do so for lunch or dinner.... or both! Any kind of cheese will do. Try a different cheese, if your adventuresome. For the carb conscious, eat your burgers without buns.

Just say cheese please....

NEWS FROM HOME

If God had intended us to follow recipes,
He wouldn't have given us grandmothers.

Linda Henley

If you want to eat your cheese burger without a bun maybe this recipe might work for you today.  Years ago I used to make a layered casserole dish from a recipe a friend gave me and although I don't have the actual recipe any longer I think I can remember enough of it to share it with you all today.  

This recipe will feed two or four people depending on the portions you eat, but you can increase the proportions accordingly for more.

4 hamburger patties, browned in a skillet

4 sliced potatoes

1 onion sliced

1 cup frozen vegetables, your choice

4 slices cheese

In a greased casserole dish layer the sliced potatoes, onion,  vegetables, burgers and place the cheese on top.  Cover and bake approximately 45 mins at 350 degrees until potatoes are cooked through.

This is an easy one dish meal. There's nothing quite as good as something warm and bubbly from the oven.  

The pictures today are of DS#5 and his infamous cheeseburger.  He is eating much healthier now.  That is a good thing for sure!

Have a terrific Tuesday everyone!

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT

Comfort Food

(n) Defined as food that gives emotional comfort to the one eating it, these tend to be favorite foods of childhood, or linked to a person, place or time with which the food has a positive association.

PRAYER FOR OUR TROOPS

Please pray for God's protection of

our troops and HIS wisdom for their

commanders.

Lord, hold our troops in

your loving hands.

Protect them as they protect us.

Bless them and their families for the

selfless acts they perform for us

in our time of need. I ask this in the

name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior.

AND bless our Police Officers, Firefighters

and Paramedics and EMT's

GOD BLESS YOU ALL !

COUNTING THE DAYS

September Folk Lore

When you see excessive spider activity during the first week in September, you are sure to see an early fall season. Also, in September, look for heavy berry harvests to predict a severe winter on its way. Woolly worms are a well known source of weather prediction. If they have more black than red on their backs, there will be an early winter that year. Birds and squirrels gathering food in late July is another sign of a harsh winter to come. And, if the smoke from your chimney settles around your house, rather than floating away, you should plan for a harsh winter to come.

 

4 DAYS UNTIL FALL

66 DAYS UNTIL THANKSGIVING

98 DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS!

Celebrate the happiness
that friends are always giving,
make every day a holiday,
and celebrate just living!

A little smile, a word of cheer,
A bit of love from someone dear…
