Gluten-Free Vanilla Cake
We now have our go-to Gluten-Free Birthday Cake recipe! I have finally created a gluten-free vanilla cake that I love! I love the consistency, the crumb, and the flavor. It can be made into a white cake by using egg whites or a yellow cake by using whole eggs. It is so delicious that itRead More
Use an Inverted Bowl as a Cake Carrier Substitute
I didn’t realize that I didn’t have a cake carrier until 5 minutes before I needed to leave for a party, with a two-layer cake. Which is kind of good because if I had time, I might have gone out and bought one, but I didn’t. After I was done panicking, I realized that oneRead More
Chicken Salad Quesadillas
Last week after I discovered that I accidentally bought too many tortillas, I declared a quesadilla week. Why quesadillas? Because they are fast, easy, and each quesadilla uses two tortillas. I wanted my kids cooperation, so I asked them to share their ideas for variations. My daughter suggested using chicken salad and since I thinkRead More

Italian Chicken Salad
Come on, admit it: occasionally you use Italian dressing as a marinade. We all do at some point. It is fast, easy, and delicious. If it wasn’t we wouldn’t keep doing it. As good as it is, I have found that it is a little harder for me to use up leftover chicken that has been cookedRead More
How to Make Caramel Popcorn
My kids have been after me to make homemade caramel popcorn for a while. But when my oldest son announced that he made enough popcorn for me to make caramel popcorn and left it on the counter for me, I knew that they had waited for far too long! Caramel Popcorn is actually quite easyRead More

Quesadillas are an awesome way to use up leftovers. Don’t limit yourself to traditional ingredients!

How to Make Barbecued Chicken in a Pressure Cooker
Have you ever craved something that would take you hours to make?

Miniature Christmas Tree: Perfect Gift for Older Relatives
Each year, we give our older relatives a Live Miniature Christmas tree. Most people stop decorating at some point as they get older; it just becomes too much work. However, they sure appreciate the Christmas cheer when we send a tree. My sister-in-law often sends a wreath and my mother-in-law usually sends a table arrangement.Read More
Shipping Options to Help Keep Christmas Presents a Surprise
One of the items my son repeatedly said that he wanted was a toy cash register. He loves numbers, math, and money, so when I found the Teaching Cash Register on sale at Amazon I bought it. I made a huge mistake and did not check the “this is a gift box”, so Amazon, slapped aRead More
Spinach and Mushroom Quesadillas
This spinach and mushroom quesadillas recipe is quick and easy to make. I accidentally bought too many tortillas, so I have declared this week Quesadilla Week. Fortunately, we love quesadillas! They are fast, easy, and use melted cheese as glue. You can’t get much better than that. When we are in a hurry, I makeRead More
Do You Have a Star Wars’ Fan on your Christmas List?
My husband hums the Imperial March whenever he is trying to round the kids up for bed. It’s not exactly effective, especially since they wave their hand and say “these are not the children you are looking for”. Star Wars quotes have been a part of our household since before my kids even understood the connection toRead More
Bean, Rice, and Lentil Recipes – Budget Stretching Strategies
The most flexible part of my budget is groceries. You can’t cut back on the rent payment or insurance premiums, but you can make cuts in your grocery budget to stretch your budget. I would rather eat beans and rice a few more times in December than be faced with credit card bills in January.Read More
How to Cook Dried Beans – Directions for Stove Top, Slow Cooker, and Pressure Cooker
The price of canned beans has gone up over the last couple of years. Occasionally you can find a good sale or a great coupon, but most the time it is much more frugal to cook dried beans than to use a can of beans. One pound of dried black beans makes the equivalent ofRead More

Sleep in on Black Friday and Shop Online Instead
