Think Out of the Box to Save Money
Do you buy processed food because it saves you time (not money) or because you are so accustomed to it that you wouldn’t know what to do without it? Let me give you an example. Pancakes This past weekend we spent time at my mother-in-law’s house. My mother-in-law is probably the best cook that I [...]
Cooking Pork Spare Ribs: Indoors
I’m not a big fan of ribs, especially pork ribs, but my family loves them. Personally I prefer to eat fish and veggies, but that’s beside the point. The other day I decided to try my hand and pork spare ribs. Since my hubby (the grill master) was at work, I opted to cook them [...]
Simple Sausage & Penne Dish
Last night was another night of quick meal preparation. I was outside working most of the day, looked at my watch and realized that I had a short amount of time to prepare a meal. Sausage and pasta with veggies is always a quick easy tasty meal. Ingredients Carolina Hot sausages (you can use any [...]
Cinnamon, Apple, Raisin, Oatmeal Pancakes
In an attempt to get a bit more fiber into my family, I decided to load them up in the morning with oatmeal. They didn’t want the traditional bowl of oatmeal so I thought, “Hmmm, wouldn’t it be nice to put it in their pancakes?” So that’s just what I did. Revision to the Easy [...]
Yummy Chicken and Corn Wrap
A few nights ago my son and his girlfriend came over to play video games with my daughter. I had been out all day and had not cooked. I was hoping that my son and his girlfriend ate before they came over, but of course they didn’t. As a mom, you never want your kids [...]

A Super Meatless Sandwich
The other day I had wanted a sandwich but I didn’t want the usual turkey and Swiss. I also didn’t feel like taking a ride over to the deli so I thought why not try something a little different. What I ended up creating was a very tasty sandwich that took a little more time [...]
Orange Chicken, Tomatoes with Rice & Beans
The ingredients don’t sound too appetizing, but the meal tastes much better than it sounds. I didn’t think of the ingredients when I was cooking it, but as I sit and write out what I cooked it sounds weird. No matter how it sounds, the meal was good, quick and filling (not to mention inexpensive). [...]
Quick and Easy Tilapia Salad
The other night I realized I hadn’t defrosted anything for dinner so I pulled a few frozen Tilapia fillets out of the freezer and made Tilapia salad. The salad tasted better than it sounds. It’s really a simple meal. It’s great for cleaning out the leftovers in the refrigerator too. Here’s what I did: Ingredients [...]
Whole Chicken Slow Cooker Recipe
After finding a great sale price on whole chickens at my local grocery store, I decided to freeze one and cook one. The only thing is that I didn’t feel like cooking. I wanted something quick easy and with very little clean up. After all, spending the morning grocery shopping could be exhausting (especially if [...]
