It looks like we might have a few chilly days this week (read: highs below 55), so I'm taking the chance to get in some wintery meals! We are having a new soup recipe and my favorite slow cooker chili to celebrate winter's last hurrah. No matter what the groundhog says, winter doesn't last any… Continue reading Winter’s Last Hurrah {Menu Monday}

An Exciting Menu Monday + Tales of a Foodie
First of all - if things look a little different around here, it's because I gave the blog a little makeover this weekend! It was time for something a little different.

Ingles Grocery Haul + A Call For Your Questions
Those nachos were Friday night's supper (I menu plan from Friday to Friday) and they were delicious! I mixed a little re-fried beans in with the taco meat and ended up with a supper that definitely rivaled Taco Bell's Nachos Bell Grande. Yum. Last week I shared my grocery savings from 2015 - I'm hoping to… Continue reading Ingles Grocery Haul + A Call For Your Questions

Christmas Leftovers! {Menu Monday}
I saw a Facebook status that probably captures the feelings of many of us right now...it said, "I'm thankful for Christmas but I don't want to eat ham again for a very long time." Ha! We enjoyed a delicious Honeybaked Ham for a few different meals last week, but I don't think my husband is… Continue reading Christmas Leftovers! {Menu Monday}

It's Christmas week! We are staying home for Christmas, and I had so much fun planning all the yummy things we'll eat on Thursday and Friday. I won a Honeybaked Ham giveaway over on Rhoda's Instagram - so I planned two meals around the delicious spiral cut ham I'll pick up with my gift card.… Continue reading My Christmas Menu
Roasted Potato-Bacon Soup
I love potato soup - but I'm fairly particular about it. I don't like for the potatoes to be overcooked, mushy or grainy in texture. Over the years I've learned that the only way to achieve the perfect potato texture for my soup is to roast the potatoes and then add them to the soup… Continue reading Roasted Potato-Bacon Soup

Carrying On When Tragedy Strikes
When horrible things happen, this question always arises in my mind - should we stop everything we are doing and focus completely on the tragedy, or should we continue on in our daily lives? I think the answer involves a little of both with more of the latter. It bothers me when I see people… Continue reading Carrying On When Tragedy Strikes
