Menu Monday + Inexpensive Meals {11.29.21}

Simple meals can still be… Continue reading Menu Monday + Inexpensive Meals {11.29.21}
Menu Monday + Saving Money on Groceries {11.1.21}

Oven Free Menu Monday {7.26.21}
I usually try to plan mostly oven free meals this time of year. My kitchen gets all the afternoon and evening sunlight which is beautiful but is also hot. 🙂 This time, however, I don't have a choice.
