If you're shopping at Aldi's this week, I recommend that you stock up on Eggs and Milk! Seriously, a dozen eggs for $1.09 and Milk for $2.19! The price of beef may have gone up, but I'm loving the other staples we get from a cow! I bought 4 dozen eggs this week. Overkill for sure, but when our family eats eggs, we usually eat 7 in one setting! Eggs and toast are a staple breakfast in our house - we eat that at least 4 times a week! It's fast and filling and cheap! If you're looking for something more exciting to do with your eggs, try making a breakfast casserole! I love this casserole from Ree, the Pioneer Woman. Everything she makes is delightful, but this recipe is especially great! As with most recipes, I tweaked it a bit to fit our tastes. For all of his perfect aspects, my handsome husband does not eat mushrooms. This could have been a deal breaker for me 13 years ago, but then I saw his drummer toned legs and I decided to look past his misjudgment! No ...
We had a great time walking around the small, mountain town of Dillsboro N.C. before departing on our train ride. We were blessed with gorgeous weather all day! I found a couple treasures at the Christmas store that I will enjoy hanging on our Christmas tree this year. I've decided to make it an official tradition to buy a local (i.e. tourist) ornament from special trips we make as a family to add to our collection. I love the idea of building up a box full of ornaments that represent fun memories over the years! 
We all enjoyed delightful treats at a local chocolate shop. I was fascinated by all of the goodies on display, but even more fascinated by the enormous mixers and baking pans I saw in the back! If I had the time, I would have begged for a chocolate candy-making lesson! The owner was giving out free samples of fudge, and of course, I was the first to take up his offer! Lucas jumped in and even tried a couple bites! Can you tell he is my child?!
