Saving money everyday, so you can spend wisely on what you enjoy.
Any of you that follow my blog know that if it can be cooked, I am pretty sure it can be grilled. I had also heard of grilling avocados to make guacamole, so I thought I would give it a shot. It was so easy, anyone can do this, and I make lazy man’s guacamole, [...]
I made this dish a year ago and loved it so much. I was excited to try it again as a company dinner because there is nothing I love more than having the whole meal done and ready when company arrives. For the most part this meal delivers. I got the recipe from Food and [...]
This is my menu plan for this week and on into next week, because it’s one of those months. Not only that but we are fully into track season which means long late days of track meets. So here is my attempt to feed those left at home and those of us on our way [...]
I make this often, but since I don’t have a “recipe” it’s always a little different. But I think I mastered it in a way worth writing down and sharing. The best part about Chicken Tortilla Soup is, if you choose, you can hide quite a few veggies in it, and I can show you [...]

I love Dutch Baby Pancakes, so much so that I tend to make them so often I wear everyone out. Then I have to take a long break and then bring ‘em back. I saw this somewhere, for the life of me I can’t remember where, and decided to make mini’s just for a change. [...]
These are a very favorite recipe of mine. Please don’t hate me because of one of the ingredients that I use, I promise it is so good. I got this from a friend while living in Germany. It has become a “go to” meal every winter for the last 15 or so years. It was [...]

This is something that many people have needed to do for years now.
