I have a very exciting announcement...we have forsaken the Paleo diet! We struggled for six weeks but ultimately decided it did not work for our lifestyle. I'm proud of my husband for giving it his best effort - even for deciding to do it in the first place (it was all his idea)! We're going… Continue reading Menu Monday + A Change In Plans

Menu Monday: Eating From the Pantry!
I created this week's menu using almost entirely items from previous weeks of grocery shopping! I made a small grocery trip on Friday night where I got a few things that were great deals, but only a few items from that trip were used for this week's menu. I had plenty of meat and veggies… Continue reading Menu Monday: Eating From the Pantry!
5 Minute Weeknight Sides
My favorite part of most meals is the sides. I love roasted veggies and mashed potatoes, but I don't always have time for those kinds of dishes on weeknights.

Costco and Ingles Grocery Haul + The Paleo Struggle {Menu Monday}
This week I had to shop at more than one store in order to get what I needed.

Watch my video below… Continue reading Costco and Ingles Grocery Haul + The Paleo Struggle {Menu Monday}
Aldi Grocery Haul + {Not Lazy} Menu Monday
I make myself shop at Aldi about once a month. I'd much rather stroll the calm and aesthetically pleasing aisles of my favorite grocery store (Ingles), but I find Aldi's low prices on produce and canned goods too good to resist. My grocery budget is set at $75/week - watch the video below to see what… Continue reading Aldi Grocery Haul + {Not Lazy} Menu Monday
