My little ones are still little. Very little. I still have two under to (for the next month!). But our weeks still manage to get busy.
I know that many of you have growing children, work full time, have a long list of organizations you volunteer with etc. etc. So I thought I would share with you five of my favorite budget and family-friendly weeknight meals.
Read MoreLast week I sent my husband to the store for a spaghetti squash so I could make Spaghetti Squash Casserole. (It was delicious.)
Read MoreSo this is kind of a funny story.
Last week when I made our meal plan I totally miscalculated everything we had in our freezer. When I went to pull some chicken out for Monday's meal I realized all we had was sausage. Three different types of frozen sausage!
I told my husband I was NOT going back to the store so I hoped he liked sausage. He didn't complain.
So I whipped this up and boy was it good. Creamy Sausage Stuffed Shells.
Read MoreI hear it time and time again: "I don't have time to cook my family a home cooked meal every night."
I hear what you're saying. You have work/home/church/civic/school responsibilities. You're tired and stretched too thin.
Read MoreI love fish. And the summer is just the perfect time to eat fish, right? It's too hot to really cook and it's too hot to eat a heavy meal. So what is light and filling and healthy and easy to cook? Fish!
I love tilapia, which has really grown in popularity recently because of it's reasonable price. It's the fish I use in my tacos.
Read MoreI really love shrimp. They are so easy to just throw in the pan or the oven and then you have meal.
I love coming up with new combinations for simple dinners that seem fancy.
A couple weeks ago I made these garlicy, brown sugar shrimp. It took about 10 minutes from top to bottom and they were great.
Read MoreIf I hadn't loved my husband enough to marry him (almost) eight years ago, the only convincing I would need is this burger.
My husband grills the best and I mean best burgers. You would be hard pressed to find a better burger and I have had a lot of delicious restaurant burgers.
Read MoreThere is something so extraordinarily good about living in the south. It's the produce. I think the heat and humidity make for more flavorful produce.
Have you ever had a Vidalia onion? Seriously! While true Vidalia onion onions come from Vidalia, GA there is a farmer down the road from me who also grows amazing Vidalia onions. They can be procured seven days a week at our local farmer's market.
Read MoreLet's face it meat is expensive. Remember when you could get ground beef for $.99 a pound? Yeah, neither do I. What's a good price for ground beef? Who knows anymore?
Personally I could go months without meat, but my husband I think would wander into the woods to find a wild animal to kill with his bare hands after about three days.
Read MoreJust the other day I was flipping through the sales pages I got in the mail. Our local paper is kind enough to produce a free section on Wednesday that includes a local article or two, some sales flyers and a few coupons.
I always thumb through the grocery sales fliers and see who has what on sale. I am a loyal customer to my favorite store, but if a competitor down the road has better meat prices on week, I am there.
