I know most of North America has been out of school for at least month (it seems), but our summer is just getting started. During the school year, we limit TV during the week and only allow Wii on the weekends. When the TV is on, I like that I get a break, but...
It was late May when I first planted my vegetable garden. It’s about a month later, so it’s time to check in and see how things are growing. Let’s start with the Redneck Wheelbarrow Bed. It started out looking like this: I planted 3 varieties of small tomatoes. From left to middle to back...
Often when I grocery shop, I buy the same produce from week to week because I know I’ll use it for something at some point. And occasionally, I’ll come home from my H-Mart run with something I already have a bunch of in the fridge. I do this frequently with things like jalapenos, cilantro...
I hope everyone had a great Father’s Day! I confess my culinary contributions were quite lacking but we enjoyed a laid back Sunday afternoon. Somehow I seem to have blown through my food budget for the month, so I’m going to try and get by with spending very little. We’ll see how I do....
This ever happen to you? I remembered seeing an awesome recipe from homemade fudge popsicles somewhere online, but I couldn’t recall where. I tried searching my email (I try and save recipes that appeal to me there) and my Google Reader but found nothing. Grr! Suddenly I had a burning desire to make popsicles...
We had another exciting weekend away — this time we were at Dutch Wonderland! I can’t wait to go through my pics and relive the fun. But I’ve got to shift gears and get back to the weekday grind — only two more weeks of school! Monday – Chicken Enchiladas w/ Restuarant Style Salsa...
Don’t we look like some wild and crazy gals? Actually, we’re not all moms, and we were anything but wild, but we just enjoyed a deliciously decadent kid-free, husband-free, dog-free, responsibility-free weekend away in Williamsburg, VA. We had nice super affordable accommodations, thanks to a great Living Social deal. On Friday, Michelle and I...
I had a wonderful kid-free girls weekend and now I’m trying to get back into the menu planning groove. It’s not coming easy, but here’s what I’m thinking… Monday – Parmesan Crusted Pork Chops + Tomato / Zucchini Onion Bake Safeway has Pork chops @ 1.99/lb, Zucchini & Squash @ $1/lb Tuesday – Super...
I would say my gardening prowess is best defined by my ability to spend money at Home Depot. I have never considered myself to have a green thumb, and have viewed lawn and garden care as my husband’s domain. Last year, when I decided to get more frugal, I got interested in growing our...
Mike & I celebrated our 13th anniversary on Sunday. Well, we didn’t actually do any celebrating on Sunday, but I told him I had plans to take him on a mystery date on Monday. On Monday, after an early lunch we dropped the kids off at our first mystery destination — friends with kids...
