Chilling at the Holiday Inn

We are on our way home from Myrtle Beach. Thinking about cooking when we get home. Last year on the way to Myrtle Beach we listened to Julie and Julia audio book. We bought the Julia Child Cookbook and I tried some of the recipes in the condo! I kinda lost that effort and really haven't tried many new recipes lately. I want to go through some saved recipes and recreated some I haven't used in years. I have always been a recipe collecter (starting when I was about 15) so I have lots and lots of cookbooks and clipped recipes. Time to get them out and start cooking!

Myrtle Beach cooking

We have eaten out twice, once with a gift card we bought on ebay at about 2/3 value at Tommy Bahama and once we splurged and ate at Greg Norman's. We have grilled pork chops, steaks and have chicken marinading for the next meal. We have enjoyed coming back to the condo and not having to get dressed to go out again after golf or the beach. It required a stop at the grocery store after we got here but I brought my coupon box and it helped some. We also bought snacks, wine, ice cream and sandwich stuff. We brought some things like frozen meat in the cooler and onions and seasonings with us because we drove. Just some ideas for saving money we currently use, any further ideas???

On our way to Myrtle Beach. Had printed out 2 coupons to buy one entree and get one free at Ruby Tuesday's. Gave one to Marylin and Steve. Not really frugal cooking but frugal eating... two meals for $22 for Marylin and Steve. Chuck and I had salad bar in addition to our meals and a bottle of wine... still just $48. Gotta love it. Looking forward to cooking at the condo and playing golf and chillin at the beach.
