Can someone please tell me what is up with the meat n' three obsession? Around here in South Carolina, we have these restaurants called "meat n' three's." It's a cafeteria style restaurant where you can order one "meat" and two or three sides for a set price. I put the word "meat" in quotations because… Continue reading Good Food And Being Southern {Menu Monday}

Shopping at ALDI – Two Week Haul and Menu Plan
Over the years I’ve learned that it’s best for my sanity if I shop Aldi first thing in the morning, usually right after they open. The shelves are well stocked and store isn’t as busy. This summer I’ve been trying out the two-week Aldi haul. On the off week I shop at my local grocery store, where I… Continue reading Shopping at ALDI – Two Week Haul and Menu Plan
This Week’s Menu Plan (and thoughts on the two week grocery haul)
I promised I'd let you know how my two-week menu plan turned out, and I felt like it was a success! I was definitely pleased with the cost savings - even with two quick trips for produce and milk, I spent $100 total. My weekly grocery budget is $75, so I came in $50 under… Continue reading This Week’s Menu Plan (and thoughts on the two week grocery haul)
Two-Week Grocery Haul and Menu Plan
I decided it would be a fun challenge to plan and shop for two week's worth of meals. The sales were really good the day that I hit the store with my large list, and I was pleased with how low I was able to keep my total grocery bill! We are currently beginning the… Continue reading Two-Week Grocery Haul and Menu Plan
Easter Sunday Menu {Menu Monday}
I've always enjoyed cooking (and eating) the Easter meal. As a Christian, Easter is a day of celebration and I think good food is just necessary! 🙂 When I was growing up, my mom always made a delicious coconut cake that looked like an Easter basket. We usually had company for Easter Sunday, and my… Continue reading Easter Sunday Menu {Menu Monday}
Kentucky Derby Pie
I'm the farthest thing from a math whiz, but I do know that today is 3/14 and that means it's Pi(e) Day! I'll do a little math if it gives me an excuse to eat pie. My favorite pie (and one of my all time favorite desserts) is Kentucky Derby Pie. The rich, chocolatey sweetness… Continue reading Kentucky Derby Pie
Lunch Solutions {Menu Monday}
The other day someone complained to me that she dreaded going home from work to a house full of hungry people. "I never know what I'm going to make, and then it takes forever to get something on the table." I suggested that she try planning a weekly menu but was told that was too much… Continue reading Lunch Solutions {Menu Monday}
February’s New Recipes
I tried two new recipes in February and they were both keepers! I saw a package of Sausage Tortellini in the freezer case at Aldi and knew it would be great for a weeknight meal. The recipe I found on Pinterest for Twenty Minute Easy Tortellini Bake was exactly what I wanted - quick and simple… Continue reading February’s New Recipes
My Favorite Thing {Menu Monday}
I love having company for Sunday dinner. Paul's work schedule kept us from entertaining for the past eight months, but that's over and we enjoyed having his brother at Sunday dinner yesterday. One of my favorite things in life is lingering at the kitchen table after the meal is finished, talking and enjoying each other's company.… Continue reading My Favorite Thing {Menu Monday}
Recipe Success + Menu Monday
Last week was such a success in the menu department! I made my BBQ pulled pork sliders for the Super Bowl and they were a huge hit. For dessert, I layered brownies, chocolate pudding and cool whip in mason jars and was so excited to eat mine that I totally forgot to take a picture!… Continue reading Recipe Success + Menu Monday
