After eating out quite a bit over Christmas, I was happy to be at our kitchen table for supper all week long.

A Budget Friendly Menu Monday
During December I really try to keep our weekly meals as simple and inexpensive as possible. My sister shared a great tip with me recently - if she buys something for a new recipe (or an ingredient that she doesn't usually keep stocked in her pantry), she plans another meal the same week using that… Continue reading A Budget Friendly Menu Monday

Menu Monday [and a different week in my kitchen]
I know I just told you that we're doing two week menu plans, but this week is a little different.

This week we… Continue reading Menu Monday [and a different week in my kitchen]
