It’s time once again for a menu. The Hardworking Husband may be a little unhappy with me. He’ll say there is too much soup, but I would love even more soup. But I’m a little chilly as I plan this menu so that may explain the desire for warm comfort foods. Week 1: Big Steak …
I decided that I wanted to continue the goal I began last year – make one new thing every month. I had so much fun last year with it. So I’m going to keep going. I learned how to make pasta, mozzarella, biscuits (even though I still struggle with them), breakfast sausage, homemade …
Dry onion soup mix can be costly when buying in the box at the store. For my French dip sandwiches I use both packets in the box. That makes for an expensive dinner. Making you own mix is pretty inexpensive especially if you have a store that you can buy spices in bulk. I have …
In my quest to save money in the last few years, I’ve come across several websites that help me do just that, and I found another website that didn’t save me money but introduced me to new products. It allowed me try them out, review them, and share them with my friends all for free. …

Like last month, when I was planning the meal plan for December I saw a theme. I think maybe I need to start planning these over a couple days. I think I’m hungry for a certain kind of food while planning, and I put a lot of that on the menu. So this month there …

This time of year we get to eat most of our favorite comfort foods. Thanksgiving is known for having so many yummy foods. I go into the holiday season knowing a diet is pointless. I have lots of will power, but I allow myself to splurge for Thanksgiving and Christmas. The potatoes, cranberries, …
This month’s meal plan theme is let’s use up what I have in the freezer before I get half a cow at the end of the month. I will also be including all the recipes I will be blogging about which have a Thanksgiving dinner theme. I am excited about getting my first half a …
