Welcome to Debbie-Dabble Blog!!
Click HERE if you missed that post!!
I want to Thank to Charlene, over at Pinch of Joy, for choosing my post, One Little Word, 2025, as one of her features from last week's Busy Monday Link Party!!
In my recent post, Quarterly Goals and Possibilities List. I listed my Goals, more of a To Do List, for January of this year ...
I am happy to say that I already accomplished some of those so I thought I would give you an Update ....
I mentioned that I wanted to try some new recipes.....
And I did just that on Sunday....
Joe was the one that did not like casseroles....
Now I can try out a few that I would have never tried to make before...
I found a few recipes on Pinterest for a Pizza casserole...
We did enjoy it with Joey taking a container home for a few evening snacks...
And I have enough for another meal for myself when I make Joey steak which I prefer not to eat...
I do have another casserole planned for later in the week...
I will keep you posted....
Another Goal....
Go through and reorganize all the cupboards and drawers in the Kitchen.....FINISHED
This bread drawer is what actually inspired me to do this again as I have gone through all my cupboards now 3 times since I retired 5 years ago...
As I seldom have bread in the house and was annoyed that every time I tried to remove wax paper or tin foil, they all would fall out of the cupboard that I had them in for 45 years!!
I guess after 45 years of that fiasco, I decided to see if they would fit in this bread drawer and Lo and Behold, they did!!
And this is how I rearranged the cupboard where I used to keep all of those....
Donate what I do not need or use...... I WILL BE TAKING UNWANTED ITEMS TO SALVATION ARMY
Another Goal
Reorganizing all of my spices led me to add another Goal to my January List ....
Reorganize the Pantry Closet for the Winter....FINISHED
More Shake N Bake and Stove Top Stuffing, canned vegetables, canned chicken and tuna and gravies
Condiments, Minute Rice, overflow of sauces, white rice, bread crumbs and granola bars
Coffee, Tea, Hot Cocoa mixes, Splenda and marshmallows
Anything I buy that I can not fit in this closet will be stored down in my storage shed....
Another Goal
Work
on my Christmas Planner for next Holiday Season.......STARTED BY
WRITING DOWN MENU'S, HOW MUCH I PAID FOR MEALS and SHOPPING LISTS FOR
FOOD AND GIFT LISTS FOR NEXT YEAR
I HOPE to do a Rudolph Day post for January on this over on my Christmas Blog, A Debbie-Dabble Chrsismas, on the 25th..
Get back on my Wellness Program, using Intermittent Fasting......STARTED BACK ON IT ALONG WITH EXERCISES USING WEIGHTS
Another Goal
Drink at least 64 oz. of water a day....... I HAVE BEEN DOING SO USING THIS DOLLAR TREE PLUS TUMBLER WHICH HOLDS 32 OZ.
I make sure I drink 2 of these a day making it easy to keep track of my water consumption
In the Fall, I bought a Brita Water Filter Pitcher from Target, using a gift card that I had...
This saves me money as I no longer buy cases of water and helped to reduce the amount of plastic going to landfills....
It also saves Joey's back as he no longer has to carry those cases of water up my 13 steps from our parking lot...
Another Goal
FINALLY use my new Camera...DONE
MOST OF THE PICTURES TAKEN FOR THIS POST WAS WITH MY NEW CAMERA
Kodak PixPro AZ528
I stayed with a Kodak camera as I have only had Kodak cameras for many many years....
I actually have a similar one, not as advanced as this one, as this one is the new model, more advanced....
Why I wanted another camera is because the one I have uses alkaline AA batteries which is a pain in the you know what because as the batteries start to run low, the quality of the pictures also suffers....
And since I take a lot of pictures for FB and my blog, I am constantly changing those batteries...
The new one uses a rechargable battery that I can easily recharge when I am downloading pictures to the computer for editing...
Set up was easy as I have done it in the past but I do still have to spend time and read the online manual so I am familiar with it's many features....
So there is my Update on my Goals for January...
And yesterday, I finally got my decorating Mo Jo back...
After Christmas, I must admit, I was in a bit of a slump....
But that is now over and I started on another Goal for January which is packing up most of Christmas in the Den and changing it over to Winter decor...
I am happy to say that I have about half the Den done but still need to change over the Trees and a few other things...
So in my next post on THURSDAY, I hope to be sharing some of my Winter decor in the Den....
Thanks to those who took the time out of their busy day to spend a little bit of time with me!!

I shop sale items too, it is the only way to shop as far as I'm concerned. Grocery prices are terrible here, and now fewer stores do price matching (used to be so many of them did, but not any more) One big retailer that stopped is Walmart, not that I shop there a lot, and I find their prices have also gone up a lot. I keep all my foil, wraps etc in a drawer, so much easier to get to. Love casseroles, and there is usually enough for a second meal. My kind of cooking.
