The chips are located at the front end of an aisle, closer to the produce section. I am not sure if they are also located in the normal chip aisle.

I have been having fun this summer trying new things on the grill. I hope to share more, as time allows. I have a moment this evening and want to be sure to tell you about the recipe I put together tonight for a bit of Heaven in the mouth. For now, we will call it Grilled Strawberry & Peach Heaven.
I made up a 4 aluminum "dishes" and filled them with slices of peaches and strawberries.
Then I sprinkled the fruit with cinnamon, drizzled lightly with honey and then threw on about 8-10 miniature marshmallows.
The grill was heated to 375 degrees and I placed the "dishes" of fruit on the top rack, heating for about 15 minutes.
Not only does the fruit cook through nicely and the miniature marshmallows roast to a golden brown but a beautiful and a truly yummy, you-will-be-licking-it-off-the-foil juice develops at the bottom!
This dessert/side dish received 5 stars from the hubs, and my children, including the picky 4 year old! I wanted to whip up another batch and indulge immediately! It truly was perfect.
I would love to hear about your grilling dishes. Leave a comment and share with us!
I am so happy I remembered the peach concoction I came up with last summer and dove into it again tonight!
Click here for the initial post and recipe.
This time I added a drizzle of honey on top under the marshmallows. No. you. didn't! Yes, I sure did! It was over the top yummy! The kids were asking for more!
Enjoy!
I have heard of others doing a fun countdown to Christmas with their little ones where they wrap up Christmas books and each day as they countdown to Christmas, the kids open one up and they all read it.
I have been meaning to give it a try, but somehow Christmas always sneaks up on me and when you are in the Christmas season already it is hard to find Christmas books at a reasonable (okay, maybe frugal) price. So last year I wrote it down during Christmas so that after Christmas I could keep my eyes peeled for possibly some on clearance deals. Well, I found a couple, but I really wanted more than a 2 day countdown, ha!
While shopping rummages in the past few weeks it dawned on me.....why do they have to be new when "new to us" would do just fine!

I have found an abundance of Christmas books at rummage sales and offered for as little as a quarter! I have since picked up 12 books paying a total of $5! The picture above shows the start of my collection; hard cover, soft cover, big, little, you name it. They are all clean and in nice shape and carefully hidden away awaiting their debut! I cannot wait to wrap them up for my kids. They are going to LOVE this!
So, if you have ever considered a Christmas book collection countdown to Christmas it is not too late to do it on the frugal. Team up with a friend and keep double the eyes open for those awesomely priced Christmas books!
Note: Thrift stores may be another exciting option.
