Oh, so hearty and filling! This is a great "skillet to oven" dinner - where you prep and heat the bottom layer in a skillet (in this case, browning ground beef and warming the veggies) and then you top it with biscuits and bake. You can use the same dish - like an ovenproof or cast iron skillet. Or, you could use a skillet or saucepan to prepare the bottom layer and then … [Read more...]

Stuffed Breakfast French Loaf
Brinner - just might be our family's favorite kind of dinner. What's brinner? It's "breakfast for dinner" - br-inner! I also love brinners because they usually don't require much thought or energy...but recently I was inspired to use a French loaf with our brinner and the end result --- divine! This is the kind of thing you could order at one of those breakfast places. … [Read more...]
Spinach Ravioli Lasagna
I took one bite of this and pretty much didn't put my fork down until I was perfectly stuffed! This meal is much faster to put together than a lasagna because you're putting the fresh or frozen ravioli into the baking dish without cooking it. You add a little water, plus the water from the marinara sauce, and the ravioli is cooked to perfection. You will 'layer' the sauce, … [Read more...]
Ginger Peach Pork Chops
There's just something about a simple, fruity glaze that I love on pork chops. This glaze happened 'by accident' as I was fishing around the pantry for ingredients and turns out it's just lovely. The peach preserves plus the ginger and a little sesame oil - it's a great balance of simple and well matched flavors. Plus, my boys will gobble, gobble, gobble this up! Also, … [Read more...]
Cinnamon French Toast with Berries
Gone. Wiped out. Polished clean. And there might have been some licking of plates. (Because, when else does mom include sugar with dinner!?!) Pretty much only at a 'brinner' like this! We love breakfast for dinner at our house - love it. And this recent 'brinner meal' brought everyone to the table quickly, and everyone literally cleaned their plates. (Yes, we had a … [Read more...]
Skillet Caprese Chicken
This recipe is one of our new MyFreezEasy meals. And while I've written the directions below for making it as a "fresh meal," I would highly recommend freezing the chicken with the oil and balsamic because it will marinate beautifully as it thaws! These fabulous flavors combine in a skillet to make an amazing, fresh and 'light' weeknight dinner. Also, I highly recommend the … [Read more...]
Slow Cooker Asian Shredded Beef
Holy fakeout-takeout. I want to say holy guacamole. But that wouldn't make sense with a fakeout-takeout kind of Asian dish like this. So, holy fakeout-takeout. This shredded beef is so delicious. And it's so easy to through together with a fabulous homemade Asian sauce. And...freezer friendly too! Love me a beef roast that can go freezer to slow cooker in just a … [Read more...]
How Much SHOULD You Be Spending? I’ve Got a Worksheet that tells you how much…
This is the hardest thing I'm going to ask you to do in my free grocery savings workshop. I can tell you right now, you're not going to want to do it. So, I'm daring you. I'm double-dog daring you. On the playground, in front of all your friends...and that boy you have a crush on ;) Just kidding...I was having a little double-dog dare flashback from my childhood … [Read more...]
