Having a job with no Vacation pay.. and taking 3 weeks off!



I don't know about you, but I have one of those jobs where I do NOT get paid while I am on vacation. I am a nanny, I don't even get sick days! If the family I nanny for goes away- I do not get paid either. That is the major downside of my job.

I know that I am going to Disney this month (August 22nd- 26th!) and that I am going to Ireland for 2 weeks in September or October. That means I will be missing 2.5 weeks of work- and pay! Plus lets not forget that I will need spend money for both trips.



Vacations are so relaxing, but the stress leading up to them is the worst!

In my case I have to cut way back on spending to make up for the 2.5 weeks I will not get paid- sadly my bills still need to get paid during that time.

Here is what I am doing:
  • I am not eating out- as much as I can help it. I do have a Panera and Dunkin Donuts Giftcard just incase I get weak!
  • I am eating food out of my freezer and cabinets- this needs to be done aways, so it is keeping my weekly grocery spending to about $10 a week- milk and fresh fruits. I have tons of frozen meat/veggies.
  • Setting aside money each week for spend money while I am on vacation- this helps trust me!
  • I am working as much as possible- 1 day off in 21 days, then I plan on working basically every day from the time I get back from Disney until the time I leave for Ireland- there is a 3 day weekend I have to take off to visit my sister at college for family weekend.

Nothing that I am doing to cut back on spending is super hard. In fact they are things I should be doing anyways, I am just trying harder at doing them.

How do you save up for vacations? Even if you do have paid vacation time?

Foodie Friday: Monster Cookies




I don't know why, but I have been thinking about these cookies for weeks. Not that I specifically want to make them, but the memories I have of them. Bringing them into class for my birthday in grade school a few years- homemade treats were cool until 8th grade- then I needed bakery cupcakes with tiny ladybugs on top! What a spoiled brat!

So here is the Recipe for Monster cookies:


Ingredients

2 sticks Butter- Softened
1/2 cup White Sugar
1-1/2 cup Brown Sugar, Packed
2 Large Eggs
1 Tablespoon Vanilla Extract
1-1/2 cup All-purpose Flour
1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
2 teaspoons Kosher Salt
1-1/2 cup Oats
1/2 cup M & M's
1/2 cup Walnuts, or other nuts- chopped
3/4 cups Chocolate Chips
1/2 cup Peanut Butter Chips
2-1/4 cups Rice Krispies

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375degrees.
Cream together butter and both sugars, then add the eggs and vanilla.
Then slowly add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Then start adding the chocolate, nuts, candies and peanut butter chips. Finally fold in the Rice Krispies.

Form into one inch balls and back for 13-18minutes or until golden brown.

Lime Bar Recipe- Yum!


I couldn't wait until Friday, I wanted to share this recipe for Lime Bars that I made on Tuesday!


Preheat the Oven to 350degrees, grease a 9x13 pan.

For the crust:
2 sticks of room temperature butter
1/2 cup of sugar
1/4teaspoon of salt
2 cups of flour
Mix the butter, sugar and salt together, then slowly add the flour- will be crumbly looking. Add it to the greased pan and press down and 1/4way up the sides. Bake for 20minutes, then let cool.

For the filling:

6 room temperature Large eggs
3 Cups of Sugar
Zest of all of the limes 6 large ones or 8-10small ones
1 Cup of Lime juice- should be about 6Large or 10small limes worth
1 Cup of Flour

Mix all together, adding the flour last. Pour over cooled crust then bake at 350degrees for 35minutes. Let completely cool before serving.



So yummy- you can always use lemons instead of limes too!

My Points- how I earn free Gift Cards




My points is a site I've been using for a few months now- I have already gotten $35 worth of gift cards and I am ordering another $10 on this week! Basically all you do is sign up, and they send you a few emails a day and once you click on the ad within the email you get 5 points or more. They also email you short surveys that are worth 50points or more! These points add up and you can cash them in for giftcards!

For example:
A starbucks $10 giftcard is 1,550 points
A panera $10 giftcard is 1,500 points
A gap $25 giftcard is 3,350 points


Note: I have never once had any issues with spam or anything else from clicking on these emails. It is super easy to do, especially while watching tv :)


Also, I recommend getting a new email address that you use only for things you sign up for online. That way you aren't filling your personal inbox with random emails

Limeade Recipe

Because this picture got so much attention I figured I would put the recipe up now instead of on Friday!

I do a 1:3 Ratio of Sugar to Water. In this case it was 2 cups of Sugar and 6 Cups of water

I added the sugar and water to a pot and put it on the stove on medium.

I actually squeezed my limes and used them to make Lime Bars then I threw 10 small lime halves into the sugar/water mixture and let it simmer for about 20minutes. Then I let it sit and completely cool off before removing the limes and refrigerating the Limeade.

Once cooled I serve it over ice. This is a great drink to bring to parties too, it looks impressing!

What to do with all my new produce?!

As you may have read on Twitter I just got all of this produce plus 14 ears of corn for $10 this weekend. I did give the Zuchini to my boss. But I still have

11 Limes (I used one for my water yesterday-yum!)
2 packages of Strawberries
1 pint of Blueberries
1 Cucumber
2 Eggplants
3 Tomatoes
1 Mango
5 Kiwi
2 Peppers
The corn- I am cutting it down and freezing it.

So the question is: what should I make with all of this food?

I think Fried Eggplant, Bruschetta with the tomatoes and my basil I have growing outside, and Lime bars with the limes.

Any other suggestions?
