I get a lot of questions about my homemade laundry detergent. We’ve been using it for over 3 years and I love it! It is just as good as what you buy at the store for less than a penny per load! A great way to save money!! Ingredients 4 cups hot tap water – free 1 Fels Naptha Soap Bar ($.99) ½ […]
I love eating zucchini everyday while it’s in season (no, really, I do!) but I’m also a practical girl. I wanted a way to preserve zucchini and squash throughout the year for all types of recipes. So, naturally, I did what anyone does these days.. I asked if anyone had any suggestions on facebook, LOL. That’s when my friend Merissa, from […]
I came up with this recipe about 4 years ago when I was looking to use up some extra zucchini. It’s been a staple in our freezer ever since. It’s the first thing I make every year when the zucchini starts rolling in and I stock up! It’s super easy to make, is packed with yummy veggies and tastes delicious, so […]
Hubby and I have worked in retail for way too long. Funny thing happens when work in retail. You have your “fancy dinners” and date nights on whatever day you can. Tuesday. Thursday. Monday, but almost never the traditional weekend nights, because that’s when you work. So when you see me posting fancy meals mid-week, don’t get the wrong idea and […]
I’m back! If you’ve missed out on some of my Facebook updates, I’ll catch you up to speed. Computer crashed. Lost tons of blog pics and work. Got discouraged. Moving on now, lol! There that was easy! Among those things that I lost were my freezer meal pics 🙁 I had waited to post until I had eaten them all to make […]
Did you know that there is a National Pancake Week? How about National Oatmeal Month or Cheese Doodle Day? It’s true. Apparently there is a food (or several) recognized nationally for just about every single month, week and day of the year. Crazy right?! Yeah I still can’t wrap my brain around it.. you could start an entire blog just about observing […]
It’s beginning to smell a lot like Christmas.. Not exactly how the song goes but fitting for today’s post. I love the smell of Christmas! Sweet, Citrus-y, Cinnamon-y, warm goodness that just makes you want to snuggle up to a book by the fire. Although I’m not really a book or fire person but you know what I mean. This week […]
Have you ever been excited for a get together with family or friends just to find out that they’ve got you down to bring bread? Ugh. So uncreative.. I mean there is only so much you can do with bread- right? Well.. maybe.. but this year you can make it fun and festive with these cute little Turkey Biscuits! When […]
A good marinara sauce can really take an average meal and kick it up a notch. The problem is the good, tasty marinara sauces are so expensive and (like most things in the store now) they are full of ingredients I can’t even begin to pronounce. This homemade, marinara is so quick and easy you’ll never want or have to […]
Seriously- Where did the summer go? Since this was my first summer at home I had all of these things I wanted to do and places to go- parks to play in, friends to visit and pools to swim in. Now it’s over and I didn’t get to any of it! Geesh! Oh well, next summer. For now it’s back to school […]
Friday I shared with you the Carrabba’s Chicken Bryan that I made for my Mom’s birthday dinner. Now, everyone knows you can not have a Carrabba’s meal without enjoying some of that delicious herb dip with olive oil. It’s the first thing they bring to you after you sit down to have your meal and boy is it delish! I don’t know […]
By now you may be starting to get the first few peppers off of your pepper plants if you have a garden. If not, they will be here soon! One thing I love about pepper plants is they make a lot of peppers at once, more than we can usually eat before they go bad. So what do you do with […]
I have found that when you tell someone you’ve made something rather than bought it you can expect one of two reactions. The first (and my favorite!!) “That’s Awesome! How did you do it?” The second and most common reaction is a look of bewilderment that is sometimes accompanied by a “why?” I have determined there is no middle ground. […]
My husband loves peanut butter. Loves it. He could eat a Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich for every meal. If there’s no bread or no jam, no big deal- all he needs is a spoon and a jar of his favorite peanut butter and he’s happy. I have walked in the room before to find him with a jar of peanut butter […]
There are a million ways to save money. Some are obvious- eat at home, use your coupons, and only buy the necessities. Lately, prices on the necessities are going up as fast as prices at the gas tank! Here are a few little ways that you might not have thought of to save some extra money on some of the […]
