One of my resolutions for this year was to bake more items from scratch. Thanks to Healthy Breads in 5 Minutes a Day, I have been able to keep my resolution. I mix up a batch of dough which makes enough for 4 – 1 pound loves or 3 loaves of bread and 2 pizzas.Read More
Crock Pot Pulled Pork

Teriyaki Chicken Three Ways

Menu Plan – Week of January 18th and Pantry Update
When I decided to participate in the Pantry Challenge, my goals were to only go to the grocery store 3 times in January, allowing myself $50.00 per trip, and only allowing myself to buy dairy, fresh fruits, and fresh vegetables when I went. The first week went well; I was a little under budget at $43.64, evenRead More

Ideas for Stretching an Empty Pantry
I mentioned in an earlier post that I am participating in the Eat from the Pantry Challenge and will be feeding my family from the pantry and freezer for the month of January. My original enthusiasm has turned to a mild panic as I have realized that my pantry and freezer were not as fullRead More
Freezer Tip for Prepping Soup in Advance
I have shared my Minestrone Soup before. I love it because it is naturally vegetarian, low fat, dairy free and can easily be made gluten free, so just about any house guest can safely eat this soup. And it is so good that I could eat it every day for lunch and never get tired of it! IRead More

Easy Triple Chocolate Bundt Cake

Cream of Mushroom Soup Recipe and Menu Plan
There are several family recipes that call for a can of cream of mushroom soup. I am sure my grandmother loved the convenience that canned soup provided her, but I never really cared for the taste.

Food Waste Friday
This probably should have been included in last week’s awful food waste picture, but I was holding out hope that when opened it would still be useable. It wasn’t. The coleslaw was an impulse buy several weeks ago, when it was a loss leader at our local store. It is a good example of whyRead More
