I used the crockpot last week to make the Angel Chicken I included in last week’s menu plan. I made enough for two meals, and one of those will probably happen this week. I fried some homemade egg rolls which I also made more than we would eat in a sitting. I froze the extra […]
I have something to tell you
This started out as a quick Facebook post, but it got so long to the tell the story properly that I decided it was turning into a blog post. So, I was on Google earlier today looking something up for a friend. And I came across a recipe called “Bacon and Egg Macaroni Salad“. Now […]
Menu Plan Monday
It is too hot to cook! With that in mind, I’m looking to start using my slow cooker and toaster oven more. My goal is to not have to turn on the oven at all. I don’t use it that much anyway, so should be pretty easy to do. I’ve noticed though that even just […]
Menu Plan Monday
I’m not doing so well with this menu planning am I? LOL I really, really, REALLY want to though because I know it helps. Every time I take the time to do it, I end up being so much less stressed all week at dinner time. Even if I stray from it on occasion, it […]

Quick and Easy Chili
Today’s quick and easy and affordable dinner option was chili. I had SEVERAL cans of different types of beans so I threw them together for a quick chili. Most of the children like chili so it worked out pretty well. The two youngest complained about the tomato chunks, but they ate it. For the corn […]
Quick Rice and Roast Beef Gravy
I’m usually pretty good about planning ahead for feeding Andrew during the school breaks. This year, though, we are between houses and staying with my mom for a couple months. Unfortunately, so is my brother and his four kids and it makes for quite the crowd right now. We’re a week and a half into […]
Menu Plan Monday
I strayed from the menu plan a couple days last week, but using it is still helpful. I did remember to do the shredded pork in the slow cooker Saturday so I pulled up Google and found some recipes to use it with this week. We started out with sliders on Sunday using a bit […]
Menu Plan Monday
I’m so excited because my mom helped me get small chest freezer last week! I’ve been wanting one forever so that I can not only shop smarter by stocking up on great deals, but so that I can start implementing some of the meal plans and tips I learned when I subscribed to the Once […]
