So its my birthday.
If I had a choice of restaurants available nearby I would probably choose Ruby Tuesday.
But we are cutting back on our expenses so I went for the frugal splurge.
Also easy because it is my birthday ya know.
Birthday menu:
Make ahead rolls. Already had them ready so just removed from the freezer to bake.

To die for Green beans.
3 slices of bacon 1 TB butter 1 pkg frozen green beans 2 tsp soy sauce
Pepper to taste 3 TB brown sugar.
Fry bacon to crisp. toss in Butter, thawed green beans, and all other ingredients cook about 5 minutes.
All measurements are approximate. But they are so good I eat them for dessert sometimes.
Grilled steak.
Cheap cut marinated in free marinade thanks to coupons. Cooked by Jesse of course, it is my birthday you know.
Whipped red potatoes.
easy. toss them in a pan. toss in mixer with milk, salt, pepper, cream cheese and butter and walla easy, yummy side dish.
Birthday Cake

Yummy orange cake made from free stuff I had on hand from sales.
You didn't think we were gonna put a candle on those green beans did you?
So I probably spent about 8 dollars on all this yummy food that would have been very close to my Ruby Tuesday's order.

Happy Birthday Renee. Just thinking about playing board games in Galesburg; about seeing "Forest Gump"; about the years that I have known and loved the Purtells. You are part of my family and I was so sad when we were unable to make it to Ohio this Spring. I am trying to decide if we will try to make it during the fall or spring. We are already planning a trip to Texas with my mom (Fran) next summer. Its been like 23 years since I have walked on God's 40 acres. Anyways, love you all. And again Happy Birthday. KEN
Happy Birthday! I'm going to have to try these green beans. :)
Belated Happy Birthday. I love you much
This meal sounds delicious except for the animal part of it. Anything with cream cheese in it is good. Happy belated birthday!!
