I’m trying to get back on the wagon with meal planning. Lately our lives have been kind of upside down with work, kid’s activities, freaky snowstorms, and renovations (more on that soon). This week is pretty straightforward. I’ll be out of town Thursday and Friday (YAY for eating uninterrupted!), and we generally eat out on […]
Menu Monday with Taco Beef Recipe
This weekend we were away (more on that to come) so Emma and I didn’t have our usual Sunday morning routine. Instead we shopped on Sunday afternoon, and it proved to me that our Sunday routine is key to saving money. I spent about $80 more than I usually do at the store, about half […]
Gluten Free Chicken Tacos
I love cooking, but cooking for the kids means something different than cooking for adults. Don’t get me wrong the kids will eat salmon, filet, and other fine (and expensive) foods, but making a meal that is not based around BLAND ingredients isn’t often done in my house. Too many different tastes, and levels of […]
Labor Day Cookout with Lawry’s & a giveaway!
Are you in the mood for a great meal? I was asked by The Motherhood to get together with some other local bloggers to create a meal with Lawry’s seasonings and compete against other cities.

One of my goals this year is to make sure I make a meal plan each week. Even if I end up straying off course, or we have a hiccup in our schedule we will have ideas in place to help us make healthier and better choices each week. The way I used to meal […]
Rice Krispies and $100 for you!
In the Spring I was part of a group of bloggers who shared a Rice Krispies recipe, and hosted a fun giveaway for Rice Krispies. I got asked back to be a part of the holiday group, and I’m excited to share my recipe with you but also offer you an amazing giveaway! Since we’ve […]
Gluten Free Diet
About 4 weeks ago I made the leap to a gluten free diet. I don’t have Celiac (updated: Erica pointed out that Celiac is an autoimmune disorder, not an allergy as I originally said), but I seem to have a sensitivity to gluten, and when I am eating it I feel I rely too heavily […]
Healthy Dinners on a budget: Your Shape Challenge
As part of the Your Shape Challenge I was challenged to make a healthy dinner. We have covered healthy snacking in the past, so I dove right into the challenge! I typically plan my meals for about a week, but I try to be flexible since occasionally something pops up that makes it difficult to […]

I will also help The Motherhood host an online Easter Scavenger Hunt starting tomorrow! Make sure to check out The Motherhood on […]
