ShareLike I said in my previous post a couple weeks ago, life in my household has been a bit crazy.  More about that in future posts.   However, it is time to start getting back on the blogging and savings wagon.  Since this last month was crazy we are getting low on our stockpile so it [...]

Share Source: dinnercakes I’m a huge fan of Georgetown Cupcakes.  My sister-in-law introduced them to me a couple years ago and whenever there is a special occasion I ask her or others for at least one. This evening we spent some time over at a friend’s house and I offered to bring over some desert [...]

Share All I can say is Wow!  These are truly the best scones I’ve ever made and eaten.  In the last year I was introduced to the amazing Pumpkin Scone at Starbucks but at $1.95 a piece, it’s not the frugal way to go. I found this recipe on MomsWhoThink online and made it.  A [...]

Share I’m spending the day with my daughter today inside since it is snowing!  We’re trying to relax but that’s not easy when she wants to run around.   Right now she is napping and I’m taking a break! She wasn’t interested in playing when I was preparing the crockpot for the  Slow Cooker Chicken Parmesan,  [...]

ShareI’m a huge fan of Food Network!  I love watching all of the shows especially shows that teach neat tricks and easy simple to do meals.   A couple years ago I saw one of my favorite shows Good Eats – Alton Brown host and it was a show about Ham!   I’ve never cooked a ham [...]

Share Make sure you put your frozen turkey in the refrigerator today (Sunday) if you haven’t already done so!  It will need several days to defrost in the refrigerator.  Read the USDA guide on proper defrosting procedures HERE.

Share I’m a huge fan of Dial complete and other liquid foaming hand wash.  For several years I would buy the refills at Walmart.  Now, I look for good deals everywhere I go.   I’ve tried in the past to make my own but it would come out foaming for a day and then it would [...]

Share A couple years ago a friend of ours gave me a crockpot that they had received as a wedding gift.  They already had one and didn’t know what to do with it.  I was thrilled to take it!  It is one of my favorite kitchen items.   I love making chilli and meatballs in it.   [...]

Share I know this might be early but I can’t help it.  It is that time of year again!  Starbucks will soon have Gingerbread Lattes available at a store near you.  I remember a couple years ago when a friend of mine told me how good they were.  I tried one and I was hooked.  [...]
