Last week I decided to tack onto my batch cooking plan…doubling up on browning some ground beef. I ended up doing spaghetti for dinner one night and saved the other half of the beef I ground. I thought I’d use it later this week or next week…but ended up making this goulash over the weekend. [...]

We’ve all seen (or had) the 7 layer dip cups to serve at parties. But what about dinner in a cup. Specifically, burrito dinner in a cup. Sure burritos, require tortillas…but what if you can’t eat tortillas. We have a kid who is currently off gluten (and a number of other foods) because of some [...]

Hey y’all! No recipe from me this week…or any other day this week. I’m out of town (again!) this week and decided to step back, lighten up my workload and enjoy my time in LA. Yes, I will be working some of the time…but will still plenty of time for fun too! We’ve still got [...]

I can see the look on your face. Because I saw it on my friend Christan’s face when I was telling her about [...]

Evening y’all! I had all kinds of grand intentions of getting this recipe posted on Friday…but that just didn’t happen! After getting home from the Atlanta Savings Nation class (which was AMAZING folks!…you have got to go to one if it comes to your area!), I took the boys down to Cincinnati to the Lego [...]

I’m a huge balsamic fan and was intrigued by the pork, brown sugar, balsamic flavor combination. (See: Balsamic Chicken with Caramelized Onions, Chicken Wraps with Balsam-melized Red Onions, Slow Cooker Beef Roast with Balsamic Onions) [...]

I was cruising through the produce department recently and saw that eggplant was priced as “per eggplant,” not per pound. So of course, I looked for the largest one so I could make lots of sauce! Don’t forget to get the largest one when you see “per unit” prices in the produce department! So here’s [...]

In my clear out the pantry, cupboards and freezer efforts, I ran across a half used bag of herb seasoned stuffing. Must have been leftover from the holidays. (Side note – I highly recommend spending 4-6 weeks each year, doing a “pretend like you are moving” clean out of your pantry and freezer. Highly. Recommend.) [...]

The pantry sweep out and the freezer sweep are almost complete. I’ve emptied the freezer and it will be making its way to its new home here in Dayton tomorrow. And I’m almost finished clearing out the “back shelves” where I store most of my stockpile items and non perishable pantry items. My goal is [...]

This is one of those “oops…I forgot to start the slow cooker” meals! I had the roast, I had planned to slow cook the roast. (This is the meal I was intending to make!) But I forgot to put my slow cooker on the counter the night before…so I completely forgot to get our dinner [...]
