Over the next few weeks, I'll be talking a lot about this course because it's a proven system and strategy for reducing your grocery budget. Next week, I'll be sharing more … [Read more...]
Shredded Hawaiian Chicken Sandwiches
All you need is 4 ingredients to make this amazing pile of shredded chicken. This is my kids' favorite kind of chicken because it's a little sweet with a touch of tang. (I add the red onions at the end because I like raw red onions and the crunch they give to the sandwiches. But you could cook them with the chicken too!) Find out what these ingredients are: recipe for … [Read more...]
Balsamic Pulled Pork
This is pulled pork heaven right here. Better than my favorite BBQ joint. I think it's the sweet and tangy. As you can see from the photo below, I used a balsamic glaze. I found it in the grocery store, right near the vinegar on the condiment aisle. You could use straight balsamic vinegar. The glaze is just a thickened up vinegar and did an amazing job coating the beef as it … [Read more...]

Specifically, I plan on making lots and lots and lots and lots of rice and beans over the years. Because it's cheap. And it's filling. And all of my boys will polish their plates when they are loaded with … [Read more...]
Slow Cooker Cuban Style Pork Roast
I miss the Caribbean. I miss the food in the Caribbean. While I've never visited Cuba, I spent 6 years living on the next island over, the Dominican Republic. And the food, oh the food...I miss the food! I love getting to recreate the flavors of the Caribbean in my kitchen now. This Cuban style pork roast combines the acidity and citrus flavors from orange juice and lime … [Read more...]
When It Comes to Meal Planning…Are you Type A, Type B or Type “None”?
I'd be lost without my meal plan. Cheesy, yes...I know. But so so so true. My meal plan is like the life preserver for my sanity. It keeps me from feeling like I'm drowning every afternoon. It keeps me from worrying about dinner throughout the day, and whether or not I need to stop in for ingredients we need. (Because the thought of having to run into the store with … [Read more...]
It’s About Time!!! New 20 Meals Plan Available…get the scoop below!
I know, I know...it's been awhile. Actually, it's been 6 months. (Not that I'm counting or anything.) If you're not sure what I'm referring to, it's been about 6 months since we shared a "20 meals freezer cooking plan." There are a few reasons... I've been focused on spinning off and launching the FreezEasy website - which (if you haven't heard yet) is the new brand … [Read more...]

If you're growing herbs and chives, you must make this. If you're thinking about starting an herb garden, now is the time to get it started. Be sure to add chives to the list. If you're just not that into gardening, grab a packet of fresh chives from the produce section. Or you could use the freeze dried chives on the spices aisle too. However you want to get your … [Read more...]
