Simplifying The Weeknight Routine {Menu Monday}
As a wife who works full time, I am always looking for ways to simplify and streamline my supper plans. I love recipes that allow me to serve the same main dish twice in one week without actually serving the same dish twice. You know what I mean? Some people call that the "cook once,… Continue reading Simplifying The Weeknight Routine {Menu Monday}
Menu Planning and Target Goodies {Menu Monday}
Saturday I went to the grocery store for the first time in three weeks! I did a huge Aldi's haul a week and a half before Christmas and didn't need to pick up anything but milk and bread the rest of the month. Having my meals planned in advance during the busy Christmas weeks was nice, but I… Continue reading Menu Planning and Target Goodies {Menu Monday}

Meat does travel a seasonal sale cycle - ham and turkeys go on sale during… Continue reading How To Save Money On Meat {Menu Monday}
Time Traveling Pumpkin Muffins {Menu Monday}
Food is a big part of my family's life. We ate supper together every night at 5:00 for all of my 17 years at home. We would pass the food around the table, share stories from the day, and usually end up laughing at something that happened to one of us. It was a warm,… Continue reading Time Traveling Pumpkin Muffins {Menu Monday}
Quick and Spicy Nachos {Menu Monday}
I love a good plate of nachos! I ordered nachos on my first date with Paul, but my love affair with chips and cheese goes back much farther than that. I don't love the price of Velveeta, though. Even a jar of Aldi brand cheese whiz seems a little high to me. Hence I'm always… Continue reading Quick and Spicy Nachos {Menu Monday}
Menu Monday – sometimes you #fail
I didn't knock it out of the park in the cooking department last week. One night was a total fail...so bad that I ended up eating a PB&J! The week wasn't a total loss - I redeemed myself with some delicious baked goods. 🙂 We were out of granola bars and I wanted something to put… Continue reading Menu Monday – sometimes you #fail
Menu Monday – Celebrating YOU!
