It's High Five for Friday time....but first... This is my 100th post! I started Come Home For Comfort in September 2013, and have posted every weekday since (with the exception of a few days during Thanksgiving).

Copycat Olive Garden Chicken Gnocchi Soup
We eat way too much pasta at our house. What's not to love about it? It's cheap, easy and loaded with carbs. Ha! Within the last year I've discovered how easy it is to cook with potato gnocchi. When it goes on sale B1G1 at my grocery store, I stock up! I really like this recipe for… Continue reading Copycat Olive Garden Chicken Gnocchi Soup
An Organized Life
One day last week I opened the fridge to discover what can only be described as a MESS. The shelves were loaded with dishes and containers full of leftovers, the walls splattered with sticky residue, the produce bins lined with garlic skins and pieces of crusty cheese. How did my fridge get so gross? I… Continue reading An Organized Life
What’s In Whitney’s Pocketbook?
I have a fun post for you all today! My new friend Ashley from The Grits Blog invited me to be a part of her "What's in my pocketbook?" series and I couldn't be more excited to join the fun!

Wednesday night my man and I took in a great basketball game at a Divison II school nearby. Usually I'm… Continue reading High Fivin’ Friday
Decorating For Winter
After I put away my Christmas decorations, the house looked so sad and boring. The lack of festive decor and the single digit temps we enjoyed this week made me want to decorate. So back into the Christmas bins I went! I pulled out a few things that were just "wintery" and not absolutely Christmasy: Icicle branches:… Continue reading Decorating For Winter
DIY Mounted Flat Screen with Hidden Cords
The fact that the title of this post begins with "DIY" makes me chuckle. I'm the farthest thing from a DIY'er, and my charming husband is not far behind me. But rest assured, the only way I'm associated with this DIY project is that it happened in my home. Here's the story... We have a… Continue reading DIY Mounted Flat Screen with Hidden Cords
5 Things I’m Loving From Costco
Saving money on household expenses is one of my greatest passions. We can't lower our mortgage or car payment, but I can control what we pay for groceries and other household needs. I've pretty well mastered the art of getting the best deals at the grocery store by using coupons when items are at their… Continue reading 5 Things I’m Loving From Costco
Organizing and Storing Christmas Decorations
All of my Christmas lovelies have been boxed up and stored until December! I threw away the pitiful old boxes I've been carting around since 2006 and purchased new Sterilite tubs for all my decor this year. I keep the Christmas decor in our utility room off the carport which isn't temperature-controlled, so I wanted… Continue reading Organizing and Storing Christmas Decorations
