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.

The Consequences Of Laziness
On Valentines Day I set the table using two of my beautiful turquoise chargers. I loved the way it turned out (see the picture here) just as I did when I used them for Christmas a couple years ago. Since I don't use the chargers very often, I store them on a top shelf in… Continue reading The Consequences Of Laziness
