How many meals are on your supper rotation? If you wrote down all the different things you made for supper over the course of one year, how long of a list would you have? I did this last week and was pretty surprised with what I discovered. I went through a year of my Menu Monday… Continue reading Supper Rotation {Menu Monday}

Aunt Bee Mode {Menu Monday}
Not too long ago, someone asked me how often I made supper. It took me off guard just a little bit. My answer was simple. "Every night!" That's not a hard question - we eat every night, so I cook every night. I don't spend hours in the kitchen every day, but I always "cook"… Continue reading Aunt Bee Mode {Menu Monday}
Baking Pie with Francine Bryson!
this post contains affiliate links My husband surprised me with a very special birthday gift last weekend. Two summers ago, Alli and I watched The American Baking Competition (the US version of the very popular British show) and fell in love with one of the competitors, Francine Bryson.

Costco and Target Grocery Haul {Menu Monday}
This week I decided to skip Ingles and get my groceries at Costco and Target. There were several reasons for this: I wanted whole chickens, and Costco sells them for $.99/lb. I wanted to check out the grocery deals at Target (I found some great deals on meat, just didn't need anything from that section… Continue reading Costco and Target Grocery Haul {Menu Monday}
Fall Dishes for Fall Meals {Menu Monday}
Our highs are supposed to be in the 70's this week, and I could. not. be. happier. I've been hotter this summer than I can ever remember! In celebration of the decreasing temperatures, we are having THREE soupy/fall/comfort dishes this week! In addition, we are now using the brown "strawberry dishes" that I pull out for… Continue reading Fall Dishes for Fall Meals {Menu Monday}
This Week’s Menu Plan + Mellowcreme Pumpkins
This week's menu came together so quickly! We haven't had ground turkey in a few weeks, and there were a couple dishes I knew I wanted that called for beef or turkey. Due to my schedule, Friday night's supper doesn't happen until at least 8 PM. By then I'm starved and need something quick and… Continue reading This Week’s Menu Plan + Mellowcreme Pumpkins
Cook Once, Eat Twice {Pasta Edition}
I mentioned in my Menu Planning On A Budget video that I like to use the "cook once, eat twice" method. Planning ahead by cooking parts (or in this case, all) of one meal while working on another one saves time and helps me to execute my weekly menu plan. Here's an example of how this works… Continue reading Cook Once, Eat Twice {Pasta Edition}
Happy Labor Day! {Menu Monday}
Happy Labor Day! I hope you've had a great weekend with your family and friends. This holiday marks the last time we'll see grilling/cookout related items on sale for the year, but it also marks the beginning of fall grocery sales! I was able to take advantage of both of those, and you'll see what… Continue reading Happy Labor Day! {Menu Monday}
Menu Planning On A Budget
If you've followed my blog for a while, you know I'm a huge fan of saving money at the grocery store. Lately I've had some interesting conversations with people about their grocery budgets that made me think (and tweet). If you're looking for a way to trim your general household expenses, the best and easiest… Continue reading Menu Planning On A Budget
How To Make Homemade Gravy
You can't really have a good Southern Sunday dinner without a big gravy boat filled with rich, flavorful gravy. Making gravy is more of a technique than a recipe, in my mind. The first few times I tried my hand at it, I ended up with super thick gravy and lumps of uncooked thickener that… Continue reading How To Make Homemade Gravy
