Do you remember when you were a kid and rainy summer weather called for grilled cheese sandwiches and fries made for a good rainy day lunch before a good rainy afternoon nap? In the fall, tomato soup is the side du jour, but summertime humidity call for something a touch lighter and no less satisfying….

All-American Brownies
Snack attacks can come out of nowhere and blind-side anyone. Especially chocoholic ones! For this reason, I keep a variety stash of baking morsels in the pantry generally all the time. A little while back I had some coupons for Buy-Two-Get-One-Free Hershey’s baking bits/morsels. The coupons were about to expire so, after sharing a few…
Summertime! And the Eatin’s Easy!
The heat is closing in on us here in North Texas. It’s the time of year to sip cool lemonade by (or rather in) the pool, prepare delicious dinners on the grill, and turn the A/C way down at night. All of these things we took part in this week and it was the perfect…
Pinterest Wins
Often, when browsing Pinterest, one finds easy-enough recipes to replicate. There are the occasional #PinterestFails, but for the most part; when a recipe is presented, it can be done. Such is the case this week. We like breakfast sandwiches as well as the next couple, but sometimes the ones you buy from the freezer section…
Throw-Together Soup
Yesterday morning started out rather wet and dreary so dinner was one of my favorite frugal dinners. Throw-Together Soup is just like it sounds. It’s a savory combination of various delectable edibles from fridge, freezer, and/or pantry. One of the minor frugal things I do is freeze leftover veggies. When a recipe calls for a…
Néktər of the gods!
I have the most amazing dentist. He’s in not a “budget” dentist, but Dr. Crumpton always makes me feel at ease and “ok” about having to go see him. I used to be anxiety-ridden about going to the dentist and I’ve had some pretty un-fun dental issues in the past, but he’s completely changed the…
Oodles of Voodles & Chicken Sausage
I’ve been over-indulging a little bit lately and I’ve certainly seen the effects on the scale. I had also been eating more doughnuts and sausage rolls on Sunday mornings instead of my usual go-to oatmeal. They taste great, but creep up on one quick! I started feeling the need to scale back a little. So…
Well, Bowl Me Over!
Oh what to do? What to do with two remaining pounds of pork shoulder? Raise your hand if you’re like me and love the burrito bowls at Chipotle; but sometimes we don’t want to wait in line, don’t have time to run by, or maybe it’s not in the budget this week… So we get…
You Can Tan in the Yucatán
Taco Tuesday is not something we necessarily observe every week in our house, but on occasion we do — and we do it up right at that! I recently purchased a pork shoulder for our Kentucky Burgoo we made for Derby Day this month, but we didn’t need all 6lbs of it for that recipe,…
Spam-Tastic
Spam was trademarked on this day in 1937. Spam was primarily intended to ship to fighting men overseas during the Great War. Who knew it would take off the way it has today and that it would still remain on the store shelves 82 years later? To have a little fun, we tried something new…
