Pride Story

If it's easy, cheap, and creative, that's what I jump at.

- Use the stuff you already have lying around to make something new -

I recently found a recipe for pumpkin scones and I can't wait to make them! But, the recipe calls for pumpkin pie spice, which I didn't have until last night because I found out how to make my own with ingredients I already have. Isn't that the best? So I didn't have to spend the $3.98 for the 1 oz container at Walmart and instead made my own for free :)



1 1/2 Tbsp ground cinnamon

1 tsp ground ginger

1 tsp ground cloves

1 tsp allspice

1 tsp nutmeg


I also made my own taco meat seasoning.




1 part cumin

1 part garlic powder

1 part chili powder

1 part onion powder

1 part ground red pepper


So that's my pride story for the day.


Brett received an A on his test today in Civil Engineering -- an accomplishment definitely worth celebrating since he's been debating whether or not to drop the class. I might have to make those scones...

Do you have a pride story?
