Individual Taco Pizzas

November 3, 2010 by Erin, The $5 Dinner Mom 4 Comments

The whole family will love these Individual Taco Pizzas because everyone can make and customize their own pizza!

I found corn tortillas in … [Read more...]

Charlie about jumped out of his skin, he was so excited!  We used to "bury" frozen blueberries … [Read more...]

Beef, Mushroom and Barley Soup

November 1, 2010 by Erin, The $5 Dinner Mom 18 Comments

So what seems like yesterday, but was almost a year ago, I made a Mushroom and Barley Soup.  I remember it well. Because of its taste, and the ease in making it.

When I hear some squealing from the room behind the kitchen...which houses my newly … [Read more...]
