Savvy with Abbie

I really don't know how I continuously fall behind on blogs. I guess it just seems like I'm constantly busy with new and different opportunities. One thing has stayed the same - and that's the fact that I still cook almost every night. Kevin and I had an early Valentine's Day celebration and went to the casino Saturday night. I came home with $400 after only spending $280 so that's not bad. Most of the time I win and then lose all my money. We found a machine that kept paying out for maybe 30 minutes straight. I think we got up to about $850 and then I went down to $500 and then spent some more. Proud of myself for actually coming home with money. On that positive note, I won $50 about a week ago doing a giveaway, a $25 Nike gift card from a giveaway and I'm still waiting on a $100 Gymboree card that I won a few months ago that said I should receive it in February. It's been a good month so far! With some of my winnings I was able to do a nice grocery

I'm pretty sure with the almost-zero free-time I get now-a-days, I spend it catching up on blogs. Tomorrow I'm working 10 hours and then Saturday I'm working 8 hours so it will be a crazy weekend. I figured I would catch up on a blog to satisfy at least until next week :) Again, last Sunday I was able to plan my meals for the week which was nice because the last few weeks I have been so inconsistent with my diet. Even now I'm sitting here eating Skittles - what can ya do? Last night we tried this Crockpot Taco Casserole but because I didn't add onions or anything in the crockpot, it was more like really delicious and flavorful taco meat. We put the meat in tortillas and it was the most flavorful soft taco I've ever made! The original recipe was made by Maya at Wholesome Yum but I changed the recipe up just a little bit. I really want her book by the way! It's on my Christmas list!
