Today we are going there – bra shopping. Well, not really, and no, there will be no pictures, except for the Barely There display table from the event I went to Saturday. I’m not divulging sizes, personal details or any shock value, unless me talking about bras is shock value enough for you. Just as…

My cabinets are starting to feel like Old Mother Hubbard, give or take a few bones. The only things in my freezer are a little bit of ice and 2 turkey drumsticks. Is that close enough? those Macaroni grill meal kits – used the pasta and mixed parts of 2 sauce packets, marsala and something…
Here is my “work in progress” 30 day menu. As I said HERE I am trying to use up my stockpile before a move. This menu plan is a HUGE work in progress and will have veggies and meats added as I find things on sale. With what I have listed so far my stockpile will…

I’m sure we’ve all heard the story of Green Eggs and Ham, right? These green eggs are healthier than the green eggs you might be seeing for St. Patrick’s Day like I have. Lately I’ve been seeing way too many pictures of green food coloring scrambled eggs floating around the internet. In all honesty, they…

I don’t know why but I love egg noodles. Cook them, add butter, salt and pepper and I am a happy girl. Besides mashed potatoes they are my favorite comfort food. Here are a few “poor man’s recipes” using egg noodles. Option 1: Make 1/2 – 1 package of egg noodles. Mix 1 can tuna, 1…
So, I really don’t think you are dumb. I get different people who say “they can’t cook”. I beg to differ. I think most people could cook, at least basic cooking, if they learned the foundations of cooking. Not everyone can “figure it out on their own” or cook gourmet but that’s ok. We all…
Organize your gift list – holidays, birthdays, weddings, showers. Your best bet is to create a spreadsheet with everything on it. Update it as you buy items so you don’t forget what you have. Keep a specific tote set aside somewhere for gift items so they don’t end up in the “I know I put…
We have all been there. That panicked “WHAT”S FOR DINNER” at 4 PM. That’s when we tend to grab a takeout menu or run to the grocery store for a rotisserie chicken. They both have their place but the problem is that they tend to be budget breakers. Add up the cost of a meal that…

This recipe makes 1 batch but I am going to put the x3 recipe in parenthesis because one batch is 10-12 rather small biscuits. These were so good and would be even better if you mix some shredded cheddar and garlic powder/diced garlic in the dough. This is a perfect bread for Ham, Bean, and Potato…

I am signed up for several emails that alert me to daily freebies. I know some don’t spend time on freebies simply because, well, it takes time to fill out a form for a small freebie. I like freebies for several reasons. 1) Love getting something fun in the mail. 2) Little sample packs of…
