It's been ten years since I graduated from college, but I still have what I call "college nightmares." Saturday night I dreamed that I was trying to work out my class schedule so I wouldn't have to stay an extra semester (that actually happened to me). In my dream, the registrar was extremely hateful and… Continue reading Making Sweet Memories {Menu Monday}

Good Food And Being Southern {Menu Monday}
Can someone please tell me what is up with the meat n' three obsession? Around here in South Carolina, we have these restaurants called "meat n' three's." It's a cafeteria style restaurant where you can order one "meat" and two or three sides for a set price. I put the word "meat" in quotations because… Continue reading Good Food And Being Southern {Menu Monday}

Shopping at ALDI – Two Week Haul and Menu Plan
Over the years I’ve learned that it’s best for my sanity if I shop Aldi first thing in the morning, usually right after they open. The shelves are well stocked and store isn’t as busy. This summer I’ve been trying out the two-week Aldi haul. On the off week I shop at my local grocery store, where I… Continue reading Shopping at ALDI – Two Week Haul and Menu Plan
This Week’s Menu Plan (and thoughts on the two week grocery haul)
I promised I'd let you know how my two-week menu plan turned out, and I felt like it was a success! I was definitely pleased with the cost savings - even with two quick trips for produce and milk, I spent $100 total. My weekly grocery budget is $75, so I came in $50 under… Continue reading This Week’s Menu Plan (and thoughts on the two week grocery haul)
Two-Week Grocery Haul and Menu Plan

We are currently beginning the… Continue reading Two-Week Grocery Haul and Menu Plan

Easter Sunday Menu {Menu Monday}
I've always enjoyed cooking (and eating) the Easter meal. As a Christian, Easter is a day of celebration and I think good food is just necessary! 🙂 When I was growing up, my mom always made a delicious coconut cake that looked like an Easter basket. We usually had company for Easter Sunday, and my… Continue reading Easter Sunday Menu {Menu Monday}
Kentucky Derby Pie
I'm the farthest thing from a math whiz, but I do know that today is 3/14 and that means it's Pi(e) Day! I'll do a little math if it gives me an excuse to eat pie. My favorite pie (and one of my all time favorite desserts) is Kentucky Derby Pie. The rich, chocolatey sweetness… Continue reading Kentucky Derby Pie
Lunch Solutions {Menu Monday}
The other day someone complained to me that she dreaded going home from work to a house full of hungry people. "I never know what I'm going to make, and then it takes forever to get something on the table." I suggested that she try planning a weekly menu but was told that was too much… Continue reading Lunch Solutions {Menu Monday}
