This post has been rattling around in my head since I started blogging. But my dilemma? Since stir-fry is supposed to be so easy, would anyone want to see a post/tutorial on it? But as I began making some last week, I decided that I would write this post, since after all, it took me years to figure out my own tips and tricks for making a good … [Read more...]
Re-Creating Those Frozen Smoothie Mixes
During a recent frozen foods sale, I got some Yoplait Smoothies for quite cheap. Cheaper than I could find them on a regular basis, which was frustrating since we LOVED them. (And especially since our newly cleared clutter area allows us to get to the food processor easily!) I've always loved smoothies. I've even tried to make them before, but … [Read more...]
Hummus Recipe
I've been meaning to make hummus for quite a while, but kept forgetting to get pita bread to go with it. When I saw that we had an opened box of Wheat Thins that needed to be eaten, I decided today was as good a time as any. And since the food processor is now only blocked by an easily-movable file box rather than a mountain of paper clutter, I was … [Read more...]
Bacon Egg and Cheese Breakfast Pockets – Freezer Cooking
The picture below is my smallest, ugliest one. And I think it looks pretty fabulous. And it tasted even better! My original plan turned out to be a little more than I could do, but I was determined to make the breakfast pockets. I really want to have more substantial quick breakfasts available to my kids, and I was sure they … [Read more...]
Supper in a Hurry – Quesadillas
Crazy day today. I've swept the kitchen, and that's about it. I have to say that I'm thankful for a 3yo little girl who happily says "Sure!" when I ask if she can make it to one more store before her nap time. My oldest would act like it was child abuse if I asked him that question. On a crazy day, it's nice to be able to get a quick supper on … [Read more...]
Menu Plan Monday
As the family watches the Superbowl, I'm planning next week's menu. I really tried to act interested for the first part while I ate my cheese dip. But then I realized that my mind was far away and I hadn't paid any attention whatsoever to the game. Monday - Chicken Fried Rice (Since I haven't made any rice ahead of time, I'll just use a little … [Read more...]
My Cheese Dip’s Secret Ingredient
I was just checking some blogs (rather than doing what I need to be doing) and I saw that Lifeasmom.com is hosting a Super Bowl Party recipe swap. I'm excited since we're actually hosting a party this year. (Having your house somewhat consistently clean makes you volunteer for crazy things much more easily.) So, I thought I'd quickly share my … [Read more...]
Our Last Official Week of Eating from the Pantry
This is it. A week from today is . . . PAYDAY!!! When I heard about the Pantry Challenge that Moneysavingmom and Lifeasmom were hosting, I decided to do it because it was something I had been thinking about anyway. January is always a difficult month for the grocery budget since hubby gets paid early in December, and this adds at least an … [Read more...]
Budget, Meals, and More
I'm enjoying the challenge of eating from our pantry and limiting my grocery/household spending to 50 in cash per week this month. Being a natural cheapskate, I get quite a rush at coming in right on budget. In the store this week I walked around and got what I needed. Then I picked up what I assumed we needed, like bread, and bacon that was a … [Read more...]
