Menu Monday + Paula Deen’s Influence! {6.22.20}
One of the best things that came out of the COVID-19/Coronavirus months had to be Paula Deen's Quarantine Cooking series on YouTube! It is almost like you're pulling a chair up to her kitchen counter and sipping sweet tea while she cooks in front of you.

Menu Monday + Summertime Sides {6.8.20}
Now that we're basically in summertime, I try to keep supper meals easy and light.

5 Recipes To Help You Make the Most of your Meat
Meal planning during this era of supply chain shortages and rising food costs has brought me back to my newlywed days. 9 years ago we were living on a very tight budget which required me to stretch meat as far as I could.

Two Week Meal Plan {Menu Monday 3.23.20}
"Well that escalated quickly." That phrase applies to SO many things right now, am I right? Normally in March Paul is on the road with sports most evenings, so I plan about two "big" meals each week and then fend for myself the rest of the week.
