Before we get into the usual Monday discussion of shopping and menu planning - I have an announcement! Yesterday we had roast chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy, and I filmed my gravy making process! That post and video will be up on Wednesday, so be sure and come back for that! This week I… Continue reading Saving On Household Supplies {Menu Monday}

Layered Chicken Taco Bake
We're in that time of year where the typical summertime activities have come to an end. School is back in session, routines are in place and vacations are over. However...we're a month away from the first day of fall, and I can't even think about wearing a blanket scarf or a pair of boots. I'm still… Continue reading Layered Chicken Taco Bake
Braving Aldi {Menu Monday}
When I was growing up, grocery shopping was usually a family event. We all got in the van and rode to County Market or Walmart for a fun time of walking the aisles and filling the grocery cart. I always enjoyed grocery shopping with my family - unless we ended up at Aldi. Horrors. Everyone… Continue reading Braving Aldi {Menu Monday}
Family Favorites {Menu Monday}
Happy Monday! The last few times I've shared a picture of my Sunday dinner plate (like this one) I've gotten questions about how I make gravy. It's a little hard to write a recipe for gravy, so the next time I make gravy I will film it and share my process on the blog. Until then,… Continue reading Family Favorites {Menu Monday}
Fun Times For The Grocery Nerd {Menu Monday}
I'm such a grocery nerd. I love everything about grocery shopping...especially saving money on groceries. If I've only talked to you once, we probably talked about grocery shopping (or cats) in the first few minutes of our conversation. It just happens. I'm not alone - it's not unusual to have a phone conversation with my sister… Continue reading Fun Times For The Grocery Nerd {Menu Monday}

My Timehop app sent me this Instagram, posted almost a year to the day I bought this week's groceries. Five of the items in that picture were purchased on the same sale/coupon matchup I saw… Continue reading Ingles Grocery Haul + Predictable Grocery Sales {Menu Monday}
Ingles Grocery Haul + Nana’s Green Beans {Menu Monday}
Happy Monday! I'm back from a wonderful week of vacation that included several days with my grandparents in Kentucky. My Nana is a wonderful cook. We had some really delicious meals during my visit (and doesn't she set a beautiful table?). One night she served fresh green beans that were so good I asked to… Continue reading Ingles Grocery Haul + Nana’s Green Beans {Menu Monday}
Crock Pot Chicken Spaghetti – On The Table In 20 Minutes!
I love being able to have supper on the table in less than 30 minutes. Especially on nights that I work, there's so little time in the evening that I don't want to spend most of it making supper! The best way to cut down on cooking time and still have a decent meal is… Continue reading Crock Pot Chicken Spaghetti – On The Table In 20 Minutes!
Aldi Grocery Haul + Menu Monday
Happy Monday! I hope you had a great weekend celebrating Independence Day. One of the things I love about America is the incredible shopping opportunities - if one store doesn't have what you want, drive another mile and there's another store with different prices and options! That was the case for me this week. My… Continue reading Aldi Grocery Haul + Menu Monday
