Finding Fabulous Food, Photos and Crafts to Share
I am planning a Scrumptious Crockpot Freezer Meal Workshop in February. In case anyone wanted to make their own or needed the shopping list, I am posting it here. Just print, shop and freeze! For local readers, Schnucks has boneless/skinless chicken breast and thighs on sale until Tuesday! You can freeze them …
Book Update: An update on what I learned from “Salt, Sugar, Fat”: The department of Agriculture receives a $146 billion budget. Yes, billion. The nutrition center for our Dept. of Agriculture receives .0046% of the budget. Ouch. I learned Lunchables were invented to save slumping bologna sales. Kool-Aid Koolbursts were invented to get kids to …
Yes, you too can create Thanksgiving TODAY! It is difficult to get food ready, the house ready and keep up with the normal day to day at the same time. I can’t help clean your house (want to clean mine? :-D), but I can help you have Thanksgiving dinner ready to go for that special …
Book Update: Recipe Update: I have done this numerous times and thought I would share how easy it is to make two meals at once on the stove top. Most of us probably have made double of the same thing. Since there are only 2 adults and 2 children, we don’t eat typical 6 serving …

You can find the improved recipe here. I added only 4 Tb. of butter to the Sweet Potato Casserole instead of the …
Like in most families and church families, we are asked to bring a meal to someone who just had a baby or sick or had a death in the family. My first question is always, “What do I make???” I have ideas and then nothing sounds good. Or I will try to double a recipe …
Since I accidentally posted two recipes on Monday, I don’t have a new one for today. However, here is a list of all the Fall recipes that we loved as a family from last year and hope you do as well. I’m still making them over and over again! Pumpkin Cake Pops, or just use …
Soooo… I’m back on the meal planning and organizing my chores thing. I waver on this especially since my life was consumed by “South Pacific” for 2 months. I used to plan each day of the week, but sometimes it doesn’t work out. First, you want to use up a piece of produce that might …
